We're passionate about guiding customers to success using Buffer’s products as well as helping them hit their social media goals. We’re looking for new members to join our Customer Advocacy team and help our customers get the most out of the entire Buffer platform.
For this role, we are hiring 1 teammate in Australasia and 2 teammates in the timezone ranges of Pacific, Mountain, Central or Eastern Time. Sorry, but we CANNOT consider folks outside those timezone ranges, even those willing to work off hours or from another location.
If you do not live in those ranges but are still interested in being a Customer Advocate, we encourage you to check back at a later date for future roles!
For this role, we’re looking for a self-starter who’s outspoken, opinionated, and energized by the opportunity to take initiative and ensure our customers succeed at using Buffer. The right path to helping our customers isn’t always laid out clearly, so a strong ability to think on your feet is key.
