Tasks

Bike Club Introduction

At Bike Club, we offer subscriptions for children's bikes that grow with your kids. Families pay a monthly fee, and when their children outgrow their bikes, we exchange them for a larger size. We refurbish the used bikes and make them available to other families. It's sustainable and hassle-free.

With over 80,000 bikes, we are the second-largest bike rental network globally, and the largest in the children's bike sector. With over $50 million in funding, we are rapidly expanding across Europe. While our headquarters is in the United Kingdom, we are also active in Germany.

**At Bike Club, our members are at the heart of everything we do—and our Customer Service Team is key to making that happen. As a Customer Support Executive, you’ll help keep our community happy by delivering exceptional service across email, live chat, phone and social media in German.

Your day-to-day could include anything from helping parents choose the right bike, to resolving queries around deliveries, payments, or bike issues. No two days are the same, and we love it that way.

We’re a purpose-driven company that believes in ethical practices and a supportive work environment. If you thrive in a fast-paced setting, enjoy problem-solving, and want to help shape how we do things, we’d love to hear from you.
