What is Fieldwire?

Fieldwire, a Hilti Group Company, is a San Francisco-based construction management software used on over 1 million projects worldwide. We’re building a field and project management platform that reflects our obsession with improving the way construction teams work together, providing operational excellence for a $10 Trillion/year industry. 

With an exceptional product market fit, we’re delivering a superior, easy-to-use web and mobile app that’s driven by the voice of our customers. We enable fluid communication between the office and jobsite, along with real-time coordination of information and labor at-scale on some of the largest construction projects in the world. Our mobile app has a five-star rating with thousands of customer reviews. 

In November 2021, we were acquired by Hilti for $300M. Firmly aligned with their mission to be the construction industry’s most trusted productivity partner, Fieldwire has already transformed the way thousands of companies across the globe are working together, and we’re growing faster than ever. We're looking for talented, driven people to join our team in [relevant region] to provide best-in-class service to our rapidly-expanding customer base. 

Who are we looking for?

As a Customer Operations & Support Specialist, your objective is to ensure our customers get the most out of Fieldwire by answering their questions about our platform, assisting with back office operations tasks, creating how-to articles and onboarding guides in our customer-facing Knowledgebase, and delivering proactive customer trainings. You’ll join a tight-knit team that will challenge you to answer inbound questions from customers and colleagues at the highest level of quality, while systematically improving our product and support resources. Plugging into innovative systems for issue, feedback, and help content-improvement tracking, you’ll interface directly with our product, engineering, sales, success, marketing, and internal operations teams to champion the voice of the customer and develop new processes, automations, and customer outreach programs. 

Reporting to our most relevant regional Manager of Customer Operations & Support, with leadership from our Senior Director of Global Operations & Support (remote, San Francisco based), you’ll have a wealth of tactical resources and managerial support to develop your skills in troubleshooting, bug reporting, sales operations, AI tooling, and more. Taking as much pride in “owning the inbox” as onboarding new customers and creating the next great how-to guide that helps us work “smarter, not harder”, your verbal and written communication skills will flourish if you’re up to the challenge.

If you:

• Excel at customer service, developing help content, and/or executing back office operations 
• Are intrigued by or experienced in helping people revolutionize how construction projects are managed
