Why we need your help…

We’re extending our company with a brand new brand and we’re growing fast. With the right people, we are convinced the next few years will be an exciting growth phase. To help meet the challenge, we are looking for exceptional team members to help us continue to elevate our service by being committed to providing the best customer experience possible.

You can become one of the most powerful people in a growing company. Simple Canvas Prints’ 1st core value is “Our Customer Base Grows Our Customer Base”. It’s more productive to turn happy customers into a sales force than it is to acquire new customers

As a customer love team, you could help make this a reality by providing our customers with the best experience possible. If you are a star at your job you will have our respect, admiration, compensation, and opportunity to grow.

What’s this job like?

The Customer Love Team puts a human face on all of our customer-facing services. You will primarily be on the phone, managing email, and responding to customer reviews. We will give you the training and tools to perform in a fast-paced, multitasking environment. You will be completely empowered to wow our customers.

You will handle a wide range of issues, from helping customers apply their Groupon Voucher to being a point-of-contact to resolve the occasional mistake. You will get to know our product line and become an expert at canvas prints and customer service. It feels good to help people! You won't just be providing customer service in a call center, you will be helping people bring art, inspiration, and happy memories into their lives.

When one of our customers says, “Whoa, your service was so good I felt like I was talking to someone at Zappos!” you’ll have earned one of the highest possible compliments.

The position pay starts at $12.50, depending on experience. We also offer insurance benefits, incentive compensation, and a 401k.

Send email to helpusgrow[at]simplecanvasprints[dot]com, but please don't just send your resume. Sure, we're curious where you've been, but we've seen thousands of them and they seldom tell the story. Instead, help us get to know more about you, the person. What makes you unique? What do you do for fun? What is your passion? Why would we make a huge mistake not hiring you? You get the point. We look forward to hearing from you.
