Are you passionate about cycling, sustainability, and operational excellence? Bike Club, a pioneering force in children’s bike subscription services, is on the lookout for a committed Customer Service Specialist (German Speaking) to initiate and elevate our customer experience, while championing the flourishing community of family cyclists in Germany, Austria and the UK.
At Bike Club, we offer subscriptions for children's bikes that grow with your kids. Families pay a monthly fee, and when their children outgrow their bikes, we exchange them for a larger size. We refurbish the used bikes and make them available to other families. It's sustainable and hassle-free.
Our members are at the heart of everything we do and our Customer Service Team is key to making that happen. As a Customer Service Specialist, you’ll help keep our community happy by delivering exceptional service across email, phone and social media in German.
Your day-to-day could include anything from helping parents choose the right bike, to resolving queries around deliveries, payments, or bike issues. No two days are the same, and we love it that way.
