Clive is a bit of a throwback company. In the age of Amazon, we believe that personal connections are lost. We genuinely enjoy picking up the phone and answering questions, and spend hours talking our customers through dialing in their grinders and pulling that first perfect shot. We are obsessed with delivering a better consumer experience - demystifying coffee so that aspiring home baristas can enjoy the best tools of the trade without all of the attitude. It is a high-energy (caffeinated), entrepreneurial-type place, and we're looking for individuals who are passionate about specialty coffee, creating authentic connections, and growing along with us. The Espresso Machine Technician supports our customers by both virtually diagnosing and troubleshooting all home espresso machine issues and executing necessary hands-on repairs in-house. This position is imperative for customer satisfaction and is a critical component of the workflow within Clive's Tech Department. With growing sets of processes, this position requires a knack for problem-solving, organization, and follow-through, along with a working understanding of online invoicing and inventory platforms. We are looking for a hardworking, team-oriented person who can provide an excellent customer experience remotely, and can also perform hands-on repairs in an accurate and timely manner. This position is for a problem solver with a desire to create a stellar customer experience.
