[Hiring] Sales Support Specialist @Human Interest

Human Interest is on a mission to ensure that people in all lines of work have access to retirement benefits. 

Nearly half of all working Americans are not saving enough for their future. Too often it’s because they are employed by a company that doesn’t offer a retirement plan. Human Interest is changing that by making it affordable and accessible for small and medium-sized businesses to offer employees a path to financial independence through retirement savings.

We’re a high-growth tech company changing the retirement industry. We’ve raised more than $700M in primary and secondary financings and are backed by a number of investors. Most recently, this includes funding from Marshall Wace and Baillie Gifford, as well as top investors such as BlackRock, TPG (The Rise Fund), SoftBank, Glynn Capital, NewView Capital, USVP, Wing, Uncork, and more.

This is an opportunity to evolve the customer strategy of a fast-growing company.

Human Interest is rapidly expanding to help more businesses offer their employees retirement benefits. We are seeking a Sales Service Specialist skilled in engaging with customers, processing contracts, updating account records in various systems, and supporting cross-functional sales initiatives. The ideal candidate should possess the ability to communicate clearly and professionally, use critical thinking to problem solve issues with products or orders, and have basic spreadsheet and word-processing software skills. Reporting to the Manager of the Revenue Program, this role plays a critical part in providing valuable support to our sales representatives and effectively responding to customer and prospect queries.
