Customer Service & Operations Associate

About Us:
Capitalize is a mission-driven company solving critical problems in the $20 trillion retirement savings market with delightful products, scalable technology, and a world-class team.
At our core, we?re helping Americans better save for retirement by modernizing the $1 trillion in retirement account transfers (401(k) rollovers) that happen annually and currently involve manual, paper-based processes. By doing so, we?re assisting the almost 20 million Americans who change jobs each year with a 401(k) do the right thing with their assets rather than lose them to fees and taxes.
We?ve raised $35mm from leading venture capital investors including RRE Ventures, Canapi Ventures, Greycroft, and others, and we?ve been recognized as one of TIME?s 100 Best Inventions and by Forbes as one of the Top 50 Fintech Companies in the US.
