This position is for the Firstbase business unit

Remote work is the biggest workplace revolution in history. Nothing will deliver a higher quality of life upgrade in the next decade. The biggest challenge is in providing the infrastructure that makes going remote easy for companies and Firstbase is delivering this core infrastructure that makes remote and hybrid work possible and sustainable for companies around the world.

Today, we serve both workers and businesses by doing two things: we give businesses the ability to instantly support remote workers with all the physical goods they need to do great work (from computers to furniture to company swag & perks), and we give workers the ability to pick and choose what they need for their unique circumstances, then return it when they leave.

About You

Firstbase is on a mission to empower remote work. The Customer Experience team is the driving force delivering an unparalleled customer experience to those who have chosen to make the investment in their people.

Our customers are asking us to solve the most difficult challenges behind supporting remote work; making sure remote workers are set up to be successful in their chosen space. Our Customer Experience team is the group that not only guides them on their journey, but is also their most trusted resource along the way. This team breaks through barriers and works to deliver the best customer experience possible, because it is what we would want for ourselves. We aim to take the burden of logistics off of our users across the world, while making them excited to have partnered with Firstbase.

We are seeking a Customer Experience Associate to work ET and/or CT time zones to assist our customers with optimizing their experience with Firstbase. We are looking for someone who demonstrates empathy, organizational skills, as well as problem solving abilities, to assist us in the remote work revolution.

Onboarding includes a comprehensive training and shadowing experience that will empower you to support our customers with ease.
