Customer Support Specialist

Headquartered in Austin, Texas, with its EMEA HQ in Paris, Way is the category-leading B2B technology for brands to unlock the extraordinary power of experiences. In a world where 76% of consumers would rather spend their money on experiences over material goods, Way provides the technology for brands to meet this rapidly changing consumer behavior.

Way emerged in 2020 as a solution for hospitality brands to build brand loyalty and drive new experiential revenue at scale. Since then, industry leaders such as Hyatt Hotels, Graduate Hotels, AutoCamp, Auberge Resort Collection and hundreds of others have leveraged Way’s all-in-one experiential platform to launch and scale unforgettable experiences — from hot air balloon rides above Mexico City to truffle hunting in the French countryside.

Way has achieved significant milestones, including a $20 million Series A funding round in late 2022 backed by Tiger Global, MSD Capital (Michael Dell) at a $100m valuation, as it continues to grow triple digits year over year.

The team is rapidly expanding and looking for focused, vision-oriented team players and leaders eager to join a fast-paced and dynamic environment where the work isn’t easy but the reward is unmatched as we transform hospitality and experiences globally.

WAY CUSTOMER SUPPORT SPECIALIST

We’re looking for a driven, detail-oriented, curious, and proactive Customer Support Specialist to join our world-class Support team and be among the first hires at a high-growth, industry-changing, and globally-minded technology company. We’re looking for people who are passionate about their work, take pride in its results, and individuals who work well in small teams with fast-paced environments.

The desire to deeply learn our product and provide support well beyond the level of support provided by most SaaS companies is a must.

Previous startup experience at a company with fewer than 50 employees is preferred, but it’s not required. You must be comfortable working independently without hand-holding and be eager to work directly with key internal and external stakeholders to align on objectives and approaches.

Experience providing consultative, proactive, and engaging customer success and support motion to large size enterprises in a SaaS environment is a plus. Ideally, you will have experience in the hospitality and/or real estate industries.

You must be laser-focused on ensuring our customers are satisfied, aiming to make sure that customers become Way's biggest advocates. Finally, we’re looking for people who are entrepreneurial - you’re not looking for just another job, but for a place to take ownership in your work, think long-term and commit yourself to helping build a successful company.
