Who you are
You are looking for a challenging and rewarding experience. You are inspired by our vision and the opportunity to define a new category in an incredibly fast-growing market.

At HopSkipDrive, we know that challenges require different approaches, unique perspectives and new ways of thinking. We are building a team of creative problem-solvers from many different backgrounds.
As a Safe Ride Support Specialist, you will need to exude calm under pressure and quick thinking to prioritize the safety of the HopSkipDrive community.
