Our mission is to increase the success rate of small businesses. Traditional banking has been a growth limiter rather than a growth enabler for business owners, and we’re changing that. Relay is the all-in-one, collaborative money management platform. We’re building for employer SMBs and their finance function, internal and external, and are focused on delivering a human-centric customer experience. Ultimately, we help SMBs be ‘on the money’.
Relay is entering an exciting new chapter of growth. We’re looking for a Customer Experience Co-op to join one of our largest teams at Relay. This is a unique opportunity to support our growing customer base and become a product knowledge expert in all things Relay and Fintech.
In this role, you will have the opportunity to communicate directly with our customers through online queries and calls and flex your writing skills by creating helpful resources for customers. You’re a creative problem solver with deep empathy for helping shape the future of small businesses. You will act as the face of Relay to our customers; this is some of our most important work. If you are solution-oriented, enjoy being resourceful, and have deep empathy for customers (and like to work with a fun team!); come join us!
