At Fringe, we are a relentlessly people-focused group revolutionizing the way employers care for their people in the benefits space. We're a supportive, down-to-earth team, fully committed to the belief that relationships fuel outstanding client and user experiences.

What We're Looking For

Fringe is seeking a Customer Support Representative to serve as a primary point of contact for our users and clients. This role is focused on delivering timely, empathetic, and effective support while helping users successfully navigate the Fringe platform. The ideal candidate is customer-obsessed, detail-oriented, and energized by problem-solving in a fast-paced SaaS environment. The role is a big part of how we build trust with users and help companies deliver support in a way that actually feels human. 

Key Capabilities Required:

• Customer Support & Communication:
  Serve as the frontline support resource for Fringe users by responding promptly, courteously, and knowledgeably to customer service chats and cases. Clearly communicate solutions, next steps, and expectations to ensure a positive user experience.
• Issue Resolution & Troubleshooting:
  Take ownership of customer issues from initial inquiry through resolution. Troubleshoot both basic and more advanced platform issues, identify root causes, and collaborate with internal teams as needed to resolve problems efficiently.
• Product & Platform Expertise:
  Develop and maintain a deep understanding of the Fringe platform, including new features, onboarding clients, and vendor updates. Stay informed on product changes to provide accurate and consistent support.

  Proactive, solution-oriented mindset with strong troubleshooting and analytical abilities.

About Fringe

We built Fringe to give companies a better way to show love and care to their people. Because we believe it's the people who really matter.

Companies exist because of the products and services they offer, but we believe the people within them should come first. At Fringe, this is the way we live.

Practically this means we hire people who care about their teammates just as much as (if not more than) themselves. We hire people who are genuine, humble, willing to learn, ready to teach, able to adapt, flex, collaborate, celebrate each other, win together and lose together.

We're a startup, and that means we must be a courageous group. We solve problems all day, but we also mess up sometimes. We extend grace to each other, and we try again. We aren't looking for perfect people. We're looking for people who own their faults, play to their strengths, and have the courage to simply be the same person all the time.

If that doesn't sound like your cup of cold brew, no hard feelings. But that's exactly who we are and what you can expect when you work at Fringe.

Still interested? We'd love for you to apply. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds and strongly encourage candidates from underrepresented groups to apply.
