Customer Support Specialist - Utility Services (4-months contract / Remote - Mexico or Central Time-based)

Job description

Background Sunroom Leasing partnered with property managers to lease homes.

Utility Profit is on a mission to improve the experience of renting homes. We make it easy for renters to see the utility options for their address and set up their water, electric, gas, and internet. We’re building out our team and creating the future of moving. Utility Profit partners with property managers, offering a unique 'found revenue' service to boost their earnings. Through our partnership, property managers stand to increase their profitability while enhancing their tenant’s move-in experience. Our headquarters are in Austin, TX, and we have a distributed team of 40+ talented employees. Our Customer Support Specialist serves a variety of critical functions for Utility Profit renters, primarily working with renters to ensure that their utility orders are completed and verified.
