Customer Service & Operations Associate
Capitalize
About Us:
We’re fixing the retirement savings system - come join us.
We’re on a mission to make saving for retirement easy. Our first product helps people digitally locate their old 401k accounts and consolidate them into a new account at any financial institution - without the paperwork, phone calls, and faxes of the past.
We believe all Americans should retire with enough money for a life of dignity. Over time, we intend to eliminate all of the friction & fees embedded in the retirement savings system that stops them from doing so - and we’re not stopping there.
We’ve raised capital from leading venture investors including Canapi Ventures, Greycroft, RRE, Bling Capital, and Walkabout Ventures. We're a 35-person company based in New York City.

Saving for retirement is hard, with lots of friction and confusion. As a Customer Service Specialist, you’ll play a key role in helping our customers consolidate their retirement accounts. You’ll be critical to ensuring customers have a great experience with us and end up with more confidence in their long-term finances. You’ll also be an advocate for the customer and share customer feedback with our product & engineering teams to inform our product roadmap.
