Customer Support is a great place to start at The Wanderlust Group to gain understanding of boaters, marinas, and our Dockwa product to support a long career at the company. Historically, Customer Support Reps have taken their experience on the frontlines and grown into various other internal roles across the Tech and Customer Success departments.
The Wanderlust Group is a unique company and culture. A hybrid B2B and B2C business, we connect boaters to marinas. Because we believe in the value of putting screens down and getting outside, we operate on a flexible, results-oriented staffing culture to meet the needs of our customer base. We also care a lot about the marinas we serve. They are often small businesses playing an important role in the local economy around them. That dedication carries through our work. Finally, because we are wanderers at heart, we are a remote-first company, within the US.
