About the company
Want to be part of a team that will embrace and encourage your motorsports obsession? Are you looking for a long-term career in customer service? Do you want to work for a company that cares about getting things right for our customers, not just churning through tickets? If this sounds like you, keep reading because Apex is looking for a Customer Service Specialist to join our team.
Who are we?
Apex Wheels creates Real Performance wheels for drivers everywhere. That means designing and manufacturing wheels that don’t just look the part, but truly improve performance in a measurable way. Born on the track and raised in California, Apex was founded in 2007 as a passion project by diehard motorsport enthusiasts and has produced function-first, race-proven wheels ever since. Now boasting a team of 40+ staff members, all Apex products are designed by an in-house team of engineers who are just as passionate about motorsports as you.
Objective
The Customer Service Representative delivers exceptional front-line support to Apex Wheels customers, ensuring every inquiry and order is handled accurately, efficiently, and with enthusiasm. This role focuses on mastering core systems and processes, providing timely solutions, and embodying Apex’s commitment to performance and precision in every customer interaction.
How to apply
In the space provided for your cover letter, tell us about your connection to automotive or motorsports culture. If you’re not an enthusiast, tell us what you are passionate about outside of your work.
Job Summary
As a Customer Service Representative at Apex Wheels, you’ll be the human connection between passionate enthusiasts and the performance products they trust. This is not a call center job defined by rigid scripts. It’s about solving real problems, anticipating customer needs, and crafting experiences that make Apex customers lifelong fans.
You’ll join a small, tight-knit Customer Experience team that’s in a phase of strong growth and process refinement. Our systems and workflows are well-established but still evolving, meaning your feedback and initiative will directly influence how we scale. This position will partner daily with our Fitment, Fulfillment, and Production teams to ensure every order ships right, on time, and with the attention to detail that defines our brand. You’ll also collaborate cross-functionally to flag recurring pain points, shape better tools, and strengthen the bridge between our customers and our internal teams.
This job can work from your home in any contiguous US state - we’ll give preference to candidates in states where we already have an established workforce. Work hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM - 5 PM Pacific time. This schedule is not flexible or negotiable, as those are the core hours we are available to our customers.
Your biggest challenge won’t be learning our systems. It’ll be mastering the balance between speed, accuracy, and empathy. You’ll need to proactively manage a high volume of customer interactions while spotting opportunities to prevent issues before they start. In doing so, you’ll help turn reactive service moments into proactive experiences that build trust.
Success in this role will be measured first by your ability to deliver timely, accurate, and friendly resolutions. Short-term wins include mastering Apex’s systems, achieving high customer satisfaction scores, and meeting key performance metrics. Long-term success means becoming a go-to problem solver and trusted customer advocate who helps to inform Apex’s next-generation service model.
If you are already feeling stuck in Customer Service or want to be behind the scenes, this isn’t a good fit. This is a highly interactive, customer-facing role and is ideal for someone who is energized by regular phone-based communication and relationship-building. If you enjoy talking shop with customers, we encourage you to apply.
While much of your work happens through digital channels, you’ll spend your days connecting with customers and teammates across departments, not quietly processing tickets in isolation. If you love diving into details, take pride in delivering a five-star experience, and want your work to tangibly improve both the customer journey and internal processes, you’ll thrive here.
