Customer Service Hero

Do you love art, craft and cooking experiences? A tech startup on a social mission - founded by pivotal leaders of THE ICONIC - is looking for an enthusiastic, entrepreneurial and eloquent Customer Service Representative with great customer facing skills to join our fast-growing team and make a big impact.

**About ClassBento**

ClassBento is a funded tech platform, providing a community marketplace for fun art, craft and culinary classes, both in-person and online. We connect carefully curated teachers with anyone across Australia wanting to learn everything from flower crown making to candle making; from cooking classes to Kokedama and Kintsugi. At ClassBento we’re all about getting people to switch off, learn new skills and discover new passions. Our super-connected culture has led to a massive increase in stress levels and burnout and many people are finding it increasingly difficult to maintain a healthy balance. The wellbeing experiences we offer on ClassBento provide the perfect opportunity to take a step back and have some fun creating something with your own hands. To further our mission to improve mental wellbeing, we also donate to Dementia Australia with every booking. In Australia, we’re also proud to help NDIS participants find experiences that help them to improve their skills and community participation. We are a close-knit team that is expanding in a high growth culture and environment.
