The projected start date for this role is January 2023. This is a hybrid position located in Austin, Texas and NOT fully remote.

Your mission:

Your mission is to help customers have an excellent experience with Wise via phones and emails. This isn't your normal call center and our Customer Support Associates are here to help millions more potential customers save money by using Wise!

• Provide world-class customer support via email and phone channels for English speaking customers all over the world
• Understand that making a customer happy is crucially important to a business's success and you make that your goal for every contact
• Be creative, friendly, and solution-oriented with customers and colleagues
• Understand the need to meet expectations, rise above them, and go that extra mile for customers

This role will give you the opportunity to:

• Make an Impact - We're all about intellectual curiosity, growth, and a solution-oriented mindset, because after all, this isn't just a job to us! 🚀
• Be Yourself - We’re looking for team members who have friendly personalities that are fun to work with! We're not interested in drama, only good Karma! 💙
• Work Globally - Our customers are all over the world and our team members are just as diverse. We're 4000+ Wisers strong, with over 90 nationalities working in offices from Austin to Singapore, and several places in-between 🌎
• Inspire Teams - With your ideas, knowledge, self-starting attitude, and customer insight, you’ll directly drive innovation and help us make money borderless! Whatever the mission, we get it done! 💫

A bit about you:

• You have exceptional verbal & written English skills - Phone and email contacts are the main responsibility for this role, so clear communication is key, and we'll be evaluating yours all the way through from your application to the final interview
• You’re flexible. Open to working days, evenings, and occasional weekend shifts. While your scheduling preferences are taken into consideration, the scheduling requirements can change based on our customer's needs, so we can't guarantee you your preferred shift and shifts can change over time. For the North America teams, most shifts fall between 8:00am - 7:00pm CT, and each agent works 2 weekend days per month (your first month and a half would be a 8:00am-4:00pm schedule while you complete your initial paid CS training)
  
• You're organized. You're methodical in your approach, with a solution-oriented mindset and the ability to multitask. Your lead will help you develop and remove blockers if they can, but they won't stand over your shoulder. Your Lead will be entrusting you with the autonomy to meet and exceed your performance metrics and also deliver a great customer experience
• You're cool under pressure. You take charge in challenging situations and you keep your composure if things get tense - a fast-paced, ever-changing environment is where you thrive
• You're a team-player. You're straight up and honest. You're able to own up to your mistakes and you follow through when you say you will.
• You're growth-oriented. You understand that an open feedback culture is there to help you grow. You crave information and love learning new things. You challenge ideas, not people. You see every challenge as a learning opportunity and you're adaptable, learning new systems and processes quickly
  
• You're technically inclined. You're quick behind the keyboard, with a typing speed of at least 35 words-per-minute and you can learn new software and systems quickly - Knowledge of CRM tools (like Zendesk, Twilio, or similar) that support phone and email channels would be helpful
• You're ideally someone who has worked in customer support before (preferably in banking or finance), but we're willing to work with the right person, whatever your experience. We're looking for genuine people who work hard and love helping others, so if that sounds like you, tell us why you're a great fit!

Also...

• You've got at least a high school diploma or GED equivalent
  
• Any additional languages are always welcome!
• Must already be legally authorized to work in the US, we cannot provide Visa sponsorship for this role
• This role is based in Austin, Texas, where we currently have a co-working space in North Austin. This is a hybrid position and NOT fully remote.

Key benefits:

• 💵  $22.25 per hour starting salary
• 🚀  RSU's in a rapidly growing company 
• 💻  Hybrid working – up to 3 days/week working from home, the other 2 days in the office
• ✈️  Wisers can work remotely for 90 days a year. By ‘remote’ we don’t just mean from home, but from wherever in the world you choose to
• 💪  An annual self-development budget
• 🩺  Medical, dental, & vision insurance – including HSA and FSA options
• 💝  Company-paid: Life Insurance, Short & Long-Term Disability, and an EAP program
• ☀️  25 days PTO, 15 sick days, 11 holidays, 5 compassionate leave days, 3 “Me” days and 1 volunteer day, annually
• 🏝️  A paid 6-week sabbatical leave after four years 
• 👶🏼  18-weeks of paid parental leave, after a year with us
• 💰  401k with up to a 4% employer match
• 🤝  5% additional salary differential for Spanish, Portuguese, or French languages

We’re people without borders — without judgement or prejudice, too. We want to work with the best people, no matter their background. So if you’re passionate about learning new things and keen to join our mission, you’ll fit right in.

And because we believe that diverse teams build better products, we’d especially love to hear from you if you’re from an under-represented demographic. 💙
