Customer Experience Associate at Peerspace | $25/hr in Columbus

Peerspace is the leading and category-defining online marketplace for venue rentals for meetings, productions, and events. We open doors to the most inspiring spaces around the world, from lofts and mansions to storefronts and studios. Over $500M has been transacted through the platform, and our investors include GV (Google Ventures) and Foundation Capital.

Our people are the heart of Peerspace. We are a team that values inclusion and working cross-functionally. Our strategy and objectives are clear and we support one another to exceed expectations. We believe that a healthy company culture creates an environment where people are excited to come into work every day and contribute to building a successful organization.

About the Role

Most routine questions get answered before they ever reach a person. What's left are the conversations that actually need one: a host and a guest who remember the same booking differently, a photographer whose shoot starts in three hours and the space just fell through, a situation where we don't have a policy in place to resolve.

That's the work. As a Customer Experience Associate, you'll handle the cases that require judgment, empathy, and a bit of creative problem solving — and in the process you'll learn how a two-sided marketplace actually works, from the inside out.

What You'll Do

• Work a queue of guest and host conversations across chat, email, phone, and SMS, focused on the cases that were routed to a person for a reason.
• Resolve booking issues, mediate misunderstandings between hosts and guests, and process cancellations and adjustments accurately.
• Use our AI assist tools and knowledge base to draft and check responses; then edit for accuracy and tone. You're the one who decides what actually gets sent.
• Look for chances to surprise and delight someone, and take them.
• Flag recurring issues, confusing policies, and product friction to Specialists and leadership so they get fixed rather than re-answered.
• Hit response-time and quality targets while keeping careful, complete case notes.
• Show up for your team: standups, Slack, etc. — be a part of the culture that makes this a stellar place to work.

What We're Looking For

You lead with empathy and keep the customer's interest front and center, even when the answer is no. You write clearly and warmly, and you care about grammar and tone. You can carry a case all the way to resolution without being chased, and you know the difference between a call you should make yourself and one you should escalate.

You're comfortable with technology and genuinely curious about working alongside AI tools. You are confident enough to use them well, but skeptical enough to check their work. New tools and policy changes don't rattle you. You can read your own queue and quality metrics and do something useful with what they tell you.

On paper, that usually looks like:

• 1–2 years experience in customer service, hospitality, support, or something adjacent.
• Strong writing skills with real attention to detail.
• A sense of humor and genuine enthusiasm for helping people.
• Bonus points if you have third-party marketplace experience.
• Additional bonus points for any experience with Intercom.

Schedule — 4-Week Rotation

• Weeks 1–3: Monday–Friday; 8 hours/day (hours flexible depending on time zone)
• Week 4:
  • Monday & Tuesday: 8 hours/day (hours flexible depending on time zone)
  • Wednesday & Thursday: OFF
  • Friday–Sunday: 8 hours/day (hours flexible depending on time zone)

The hourly rate for this role is $25.00/hour.
