Full time Customer Service Sales

Job Description

Introduction
At Guideline, we’re helping Americans save for a better future. Guideline is the only 401(k) provider with a fee-free, full-stack 401(k) offering that automates plan administration and compliance with a platform that directly integrates with many of the most popular payroll providers. 
 
By building transparent and first-of-its-kind software, the Guideline team is combatting what’s unfortunately become the retirement industry status quo -- legacy providers have put profit over the interests of employees, abandoning the goal of the programs in the first place: to give employees the opportunity to save as much as possible for retirement. 
 
With over 3,000 clients and hundreds of millions of dollars in assets under management, in just a couple years of operations, we’re well on our way to making smart retirement planning easy for everyone. 


Job Description
We’re looking to grow our Customer Success team. This is the perfect opportunity for someone who loves to troubleshoot and assist others with finding the best solution. You may not know what the answer is, but you are determined and will stop at nothing to get to the bottom of things! You are highly organized and know nothing but Inbox Zero in Gmail. Most of all, you’re a people person, and thrive in helping others and building relationships!

• Collaborate interdepartmentally with sales, engineering, operations, and our in-house financial planners in order to troubleshoot and help customers

• Excellent verbal and written communication 
• Highly proficient with Google Apps and macOS

• Benefits and/or 401(k) experience a plus
