About us
SRFACE is a direct-to-consumer wetsuit scaleup focussed on designing high-end products and delivering exceptional customer service. Since the launch of our brand in 2018 we’re growing rapidly in Europe.
We’re a passionate team of founders, partners, employees, and ambassadors based in The Netherlands, France, United Kingdom, South Africa, Portugal and Germany. We love surfing. We even love surfing in cold water. We believe that the more you surf, the better you feel. Amazed at the high price of quality wetsuits, we made it our mission to design the wetsuit we couldn’t find, at a price we could afford.
What you’ll do
As Marketing & Support intern you’ll be immersed in the heart of our E-commerce business. You’ll learn all about delivering exceptional 1st and 2nd line customer support through our single channel support platform. When you’re not talking to customers, you’ll be assisting our marketing team in the daily operation: Preparing social media posts, engaging with followers, writing blog and SEO content and talking to our ambassadors about their surf adventures.
The SRFACE formula
Freedom
We work wherever we want: From the beach, Bali, Portugal, it's up to you. If the waves are on, we'll make it work.
Grow & learn
Work with and learn from an experienced team of like minded entrepreneurs and surfers. We value responsibility, honesty, transparency and excellence and we’re always looking for ways to improve our business, and ourselves.
Purpose & team
We started this business so we could change the industry while surfing and enjoy the adventure together. We’re looking for like-minded people to join our team.
A typical day as Marketing & Support intern
We believe in learning by doing. You start your day by checking our customer support dashboard with our Operations & Support Manager. Are there any open tickets or follow-ups to address? After emailing a customer with a proposal for their warranty request and emailing our fulfilment partner about a lost package, you check into our project management app Asana and start working on your scheduled and newly assigned tasks for the day. You help a couple of potential customers find the right wetsuit size and advise someone on the best wetsuit thickness for their next surf trip. The waves are on, so you’re going for a quick lunch surf session!
Whenever you’re not talking to customers and after your inbox is cleared, you jump on a short call with our Ecommerce & Brand Manager to discuss the next blog post you’re writing: “10 tips to buying a wetsuit online”. You draft the article in the afternoon and browse our content library to find some good images for the post. You finish the day with writing some captions for upcoming social media posts.
