Customer Onsite Specialist (Beltsville)

Wonolo (Work Now Locally) is disrupting the $140BN temporary staffing industry. Founded in 2014, Wonolo's mission is to help people find consistent work. Through our two-sided tech marketplace, we connect hundreds of businesses in need of front-line workers with 2 million underemployed workers in local markets across the United States, within minutes. Wonolo recently raised $140M in growth funding which will continue to help us empower the in-demand workforce by democratizing access to flexible work, opportunities to learn new skills, a living wage, and comprehensive portable benefits and perks.
As a Customer Onsite Specialist, you will visit different job sites maintained by Wonolo’s customers (commonly a warehouse or production facility) to ensure customers and local workers (Wonoloers) have easy access to our support channels.

As needed, you will serve as a local recruiting operations agent, helping to acquire, onboard, or assess workers for W2 jobs on the platform.  You’ll help Wonoloers and customers navigate routine tasks as well as new challenges. You will be immersed in a fast-paced environment that is constantly in flux.  Most importantly, you will have a direct impact on supporting local workers by helping to shape the future of work.
We're looking for someone who is organized, can take initiative, can speak to different stakeholders including job site supervisors and gig economy workers, and has problem-solving skills who can operate in an ambiguous environment.
