What you’ll be doing...

A little about Visible:

Named one of Fast Company’s most innovative companies and Adweek’s Challenger Brand of the Year, Visible is a three-year old company that is centered on reimagining what wireless should be: simple, accessible and inclusive. Visible is the first digital-only wireless carrier in the US, which means we provide exquisite service and focus on making everything about wireless easy, passing the savings from no stores, no call centers and no paper bills to our members. We have built our member experience around communities and challenging the traditional family plan model in the industry - and we’re having a lot of fun doing it.

Visible is headquartered in Denver, CO, and the team is growing rapidly. We are a team of passionate people building the future of mobile phone service from ground up. No single day will feel the same, and change is the only constant. If you love all of that, plus the challenge of delivering the best experience to our customers in the simplest ways (and knowing that simple requires a lot of work behind-the-scenes), check us out at https://visible.com. We are Visible.

Visible is a division of Verizon and powered by Verizon’s award-winning networks, but operates uniquely inside the larger entity. A “startup with suspenders” - taking all the best elements of startup scrappiness with a mind toward disruption, innovation, and culture, and leveraging the assets and benefits of the larger corporation’s backing. We like to think of it as the best of both worlds. Much like we are remaking wireless in blending the lines between prepaid and postpaid, and between the value and premium markets.
