Overview
Customer Experience Specialist, Phone Support (Weekend) Jobs in Toronto at Relay Financial
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 to expand our team of Customer Experience Specialists to help us scale our Customer Support engine. This is a unique opportunity to support our growing customer base and become a product knowledge expert in all things Relay and Fintech.
Joining Relay means an opportunity to make a huge impact in building solutions with the potential to reach 29 million small businesses across North America. If you thrive on growth and solving real customer problems, we want to hear from you!
Please note: We are a hybrid environment and choose to collaborate in the office twice a week.
