Implementation Support Associate

80% of the global workforce is a frontline worker; yet their work experience -how they work, how they connect with systems, with others, etc, - is fundamentally disjointed and difficult compared to desk based workers. 

Blink’s mission is to close this digital divide and enable distributed organisations to reconnect their frontline workforce, communicate effectively with all their employees and engage with all of them like never before.  Blink’s super-app allows frontline workers to access everything they need and everyone they want in the palm of their hand. 

At Blink we close this digital divide and enable distributed organizations to reconnect their frontline workforce, communicate effectively with all their employees and engage with all of them like never before.  Blink’s super-app allows frontline workers to access everything they need and everyone they want in the palm of their hand.
