About Nexus Mods

Established in 2001, Nexus Mods is the largest video game modding platform on the internet and a household name in the PC gaming ecosystem.

• 71M+ registered members

• 800K+ mods for 4,000+ games

• 21B+ mod downloads

We’re currently focused on product modernisation, driving growth and building infrastructure for the next 10 years of community-powered modding.

Our Role: 

We are looking for an experienced Customer Support Specialist to join our Trust and Safety team, helping us deliver a world-class support experience to our users, mod authors, and wider community.

This is not a generic customer support role. We are looking for someone who already understands Nexus Mods, cares about modding, and is familiar with the kinds of issues that matter to mod users and mod authors. You should be an active or experienced member of the Nexus Mods community, or have equivalent hands-on experience with PC game modding and modding communities.

The role has a strong technical focus. Alongside account, payment, and general support queries, you will help investigate user files, file quarantines, malware reports, suspicious uploads, content safety concerns, and other technical issues that affect the trust and safety of the platform. You do not need to be a cybersecurity expert, but you should have a basic understanding of online safety, file security, malware risk, and how to approach technical investigations carefully and methodically.

You’ll be expected to gather evidence, reproduce issues where possible, use internal tools to investigate problems, and clearly communicate your findings to users, moderators, community managers, and development teams.

Ideally, you’ll have your finger on the pulse of the Nexus Mods community, the wider modding scene, and the broader gaming industry, so that you can understand the context behind the issues you deal with.

• You’ll be the first point of contact for users through our support email and other contact points. 

• Responding to technical inquiries and troubleshooting customer accounts and services-related issues for our active users. Customer communication is mainly through email, but will involve some contact through web forums, and Discord servers.

• Investigating support cases involving user files, file quarantines, malware reports, suspicious uploads, and content safety concerns by reviewing available evidence, following defined processes, and escalating complex or high-risk cases where appropriate. 

• Owning, managing, and resolving customer support cases efficiently, through our dedicated support system, ensuring optimum customer satisfaction. 

• Working with the Moderation team to resolve issues around user files, payments and accounts. 

• Continually striving for service quality improvement, focusing on first time resolutions, resolution time and Customer Satisfaction Score. Reporting progress back to the team and wider organisation. 

• Dealing with a variety of processes such as content copywriting queries, payment and account queries, site support and emerging issues around AI-generated voice and image content. 

• Identifying opportunities to go beyond the norm to leave customers feeling valued and well-served and staying informed about trends in gaming, modding, and community behaviour to provide informed support. 

Requirements:

• Hands-on experience with Nexus Mods, PC game modding, or modding communities. We are specifically looking for someone who understands what Nexus Mods does, why modding matters, and how our users and mod authors interact with the platform.

• Basic awareness of cybersecurity and file safety concepts, including malware risk, suspicious uploads, phishing, account compromise, false positives, and safe handling of user-submitted files. 

• Able to investigate technical issues methodically, gather evidence, and distinguish between user error, platform issues, policy issues, and potentially malicious behaviour. 

• A genuine interest in modding, PC gaming, and user-generated content.

• Good working knowledge of at least one customer support platform, such as Zendesk or Help Scout.

• Technically fluent and comfortable navigating web-based tools. We use a custom admin system, Google Sheets, Slack, Discord, web forums, and other third-party web tools.

• Basic awareness of cybersecurity and file safety concepts, including malware risk, suspicious uploads, phishing, account compromise, false positives, and safe handling of user-submitted files.

• Able to investigate technical issues methodically, gather evidence, and distinguish between user error, platform issues, policy issues, and potentially malicious behaviour.

• Solution-focused and tenacious problem solver. Customers do not always self-diagnose their issues correctly, and you’ll need to dig deeper at times to find the right solution.

• Proactive and confident working independently as well as collaboratively across teams.

• Strong and clear communication skills, able to write with clarity and good form. Many of our users are non-native English speakers, and the ability to adapt your approach according to the user will be key.

• Good judgement when dealing with sensitive issues, including user files, account access, moderation decisions, and potentially harmful content.

Bonus Skills: 

• An understanding of how modding works such that you can properly investigate and resolve mod authors’ needs. 

• Previous experience making and releasing mods. 

• The ability to pick up and understand how modding works in new games, including Unity and Unreal games that do not have modding tools. 

• We work a 4-day week of 32 hours, with no reduction in pay.
• An allowance of £25 each month to spend on video games.
• Employee Assistance Programme.
• Private BUPA healthcare for you and your family.
• A very flexible training budget.
• Regular social events throughout the year. Participation is optional!
