😍 We are Gigs

  • Gigs is the world's first telecom-as-a-service platform. We’ve built for telecommunications what Stripe built for payments, and enable companies to seamlessly launch their own branded phone plans:
    • Businesses can attract and monetize new users, create smooth customer journeys, and unlock new revenue streams.
    • Consumers can go from sign-up to talking and browsing in under 3 minutes.
  • Gigs empowers innovators from various industries. From fintechs providing branded phone plans alongside their payment cards, retailers offering subscriptions bundled with their mobile devices, to HR platforms enabling businesses to issue employee phone plans with just a tap, our telecom operating system provides everything companies need to embed connectivity.
  • We’re backed by Google’s Gradient Ventures and Y Combinator, along with prominent business angels and investors, including the CEOs of Uber, DoorDash, and Instacart. As part of Gigs, you will have access to world-class advisors, resources, and support that will help us navigate our rapid growth.
  • Gigs was part of the YC W21 and YC Growth W23 batches and raised a $20MM Series A.

You’ll work across Product, Engineering, and Customer Success to build out efficient and scalable business processes that can support different types of customers and use cases. This role requires travel to visit Telecom partners.

You’ll work closely with April, our Head of Telecom & Operations.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Lead US Telecom Partnerships: Serve as the relationship manager for Gigs’ existing telecom supply. This includes building and maintaining relationships across the partners’ business and operations teams, driving commercial negotiations, handling day-to-day tasks — such as operational escalations — and having a multi-year vision to deepen strategic partnerships.

  • You love to challenge the status quo: You work best in an environment where you can test solutions that work for the business. You like to question why something doesn't currently work and take things that don't work apart to see how you can rebuild them better. You keep a balance between getting things done and challenging the existing limitations.
  • You love learning technologies as you go. You’re driven to find the right tool for the job even if it’s one you haven’t worked with before.
