Who Are We:
Whym aims to be the brand of consumer trust for social selling. We create confidence, convenience and controls that cause customers to refer to our purchase experience as “addicting.”
Sellers can meet customers wherever they are, and Whym helps to identify intent-to-buy. When the customer is ready to make a purchase decision, Whym is the shortcut during the "take my money" moment.
A brand or business that wants to engage with a customer over text message has 500+ social applications & messaging providers to choose from today. Whym can be used to take payments over any of these channels - no integration needed.
Join us and build the brand of consumer trust for social selling.
Who Are You:
This position is part of a remote team, working at a groundbreaking financial technologies startup with a product already in market. Opportunity to convert to full-time in the future (if desired).
