About the job

About Dockwa

Dockwa is on a mission to modernize the $230+ billion marine industry. Founded in 2015, we started by streamlining how boaters and marinas connect through real-time transient slip bookings and quickly expanded to provide a full operating system for marinas nationwide—automating workflows, increasing revenue, and delivering efficiencies across the board. But we’re just getting started. Our ambition is to bring modern, impactful technology solutions to an industry that has traditionally been offline, and we’re looking for passionate individuals to help us lead the charge.

Our Mission

We believe in transforming a historically traditional industry by empowering marinas with intuitive, powerful software. By building an all-in-one platform that integrates reservations, payment processing, and workflow management, we aim to elevate the operational efficiency of our partners and create a seamless customer experience for boaters.

Our Team

We’re a dedicated group of builders, innovators, and problem-solvers. As part of the Customer Support team, you’ll collaborate not only with your direct colleagues but also with Sales, Product, and Marketing teams. We believe in fostering a community of continuous improvement and shared success—where each person is empowered to make a lasting impact.

Our Culture

Dockwa thrives on a culture of collaboration, innovation, and ownership. We value autonomy and the spirit of learning by doing. Our team members are driven by a shared goal: to redefine an entire industry. We champion a culture where people feel connected to our core values—operating with integrity, focus, and the curiosity to solve real-world problems every day.

The Role

As a Customer Support Representative, you will provide frontline support to both our boater and marina customers, helping to facilitate network engagement, improving technical familiarity with our software, and ensuring that people are spending more time on the water as a result of using our products.

Our Support Team operates in an omni-channel environment (email, phone, live chat), quickly responding to customer requests to deliver a human and consultative support experience through personal communication, creative problem-solving, and a thorough knowledge of how our software and the marine industry works.

Delivering exceptional customer experiences and providing actionable feedback to our Success, Sales, and Product teams based upon your interactions with our customers is central to this role. Expectations for success are deeply intertwined with our principles and values as a company.

There is a strong preference for this candidate to be located in the Eastern Standard Time zone.
