About The Role:
At Trellis, we’re on a mission to elevate our customer support experience, and we’re seeking a dynamic individual to help us achieve that goal.

The Growth Team has set ambitious targets, and your contributions will be instrumental in reaching them. If you’re brimming with empathy and eager to make a meaningful impact, then we want to hear from you.
