Customer Support Associate

Description

Due to several internal promotions, we’re looking for new Customer Support Associates to join our team in Tampa, Florida! This role is a unique opportunity to join a team of people who are passionate about customer support, that love to help customers, and who want to work in a disruptive, fast-growing, and fun environment. This isn't your normal call center; we do things differently, and our Customer Support Associates are here to help millions more potential customers save money by using TransferWise!

You’ll receive a competitive package including a salary of $14.00/hour, stock options in a fast-growing company, and a wide array of other benefits.

Your mission:

• Provide world-class customer support via chat, email, phone, and social media channels for English speaking customers all over the world
• Understand that making a customer happy is crucially important to a business's success and 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 - You’ll fuel this revolution as the first point of contact for our customers, but you’ll also have the freedom and support to improve processes and take on additional projects as you grow into the role. 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 don’t believe in scripts or dress codes, and if you're having a "ruff" day, no worries, there's probably a dog or two in the office to mellow you out. 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 1500+ Wisers strong, with 70+ nationalities working in offices from Tampa to Tokyo, and several places in-between. Our customers come first and we make no compromises on this, but right on their heels are our teams, so we leave ego at the door! 
• Inspire Teams - With your ideas, knowledge, self-starting attitude, and customer insight, you’ll directly drive innovation and help us make money borderless! Whether you're starting a side project from scratch or working with a product team to offer expert insight on a feature, whatever the mission, we get it done!

A bit about you:

• You have excellent verbal & written English skills
• You have previous customer support experience. Preferably in banking, internet, or telecom industries, or in an international customer care center
• You're flexible. Happy working day, night, and occasional weekend shifts for our customers
• You're organized. You can multitask, you're methodical in your approach, and you've got a sharp attention to detail which makes learning new systems and procedures no sweat
• You're cool under pressure. You take responsibility in challenging situations and you keep your composure if things get tense
• You're an exceptional communicator. 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 open-minded. You're comfortable and calm when giving or receiving feedback, you crave information, and you can't wait to be part of the team
• You're ideally someone who has worked in customer support before, but we're willing to work with the right person, whatever your experience, as long as you're awesome, you've got a passion for helping customers, and you don't see TransferWise as just your next job, but as your chance to make a difference!

A bit more about you:

• You've got a high school diploma or GED equivalent
• You're great at the keyboard and your typing speed is at least 35 words per minute. (You will be tested)
