About Us

Our mission is to make hourly work easier for local businesses and their employees. Homebase currently serves more than 100,000 small (but mighty) businesses with everything they need to manage their hourly teams: employee scheduling, time clocks, team communication, hiring, onboarding, and compliance. We are not Human Capital Management. We are not HR Software. We’re tools built for the busiest businesses, so owners and employees can spend less time on paperwork and more time on what matters. The Homebase team brings small business expertise from Intuit, Square, OpenTable, Yelp, Gusto, and First Data. Based in San Francisco and Houston, Homebase is backed by leading venture investors Bain Capital Ventures, Baseline Ventures, Cowboy Ventures, and Khosla Ventures.

You

You have a passion for small businesses and helping them succeed. You have experience leading a small (but mighty) customer service team, both with in-house employees and agents through a vendor, and like to forge the best path for growth. You have worked in contact centers helping customers with SaaS platforms. You are not afraid to roll up your sleeves and help customers. You like to solve problems and can move fast. You love working in an unstructured, fast paced environment and you are not afraid of change or leading your team through change. You make decisions based on data.
