Are you passionate about performance cars? Do you spend an unhealthy amount of time on auto enthusiast forums researching modifications and discussing them with anyone willing to listen? If you’re determined to find a job that combines your career with your passion, this is your chance! This is an exciting opportunity for those who would like to jump-start a career in the motorsport industry, but don’t have the technical knowledge our Senior Product Expert positions require.

As a Jr. Product Expert, you’ll play a vital role in bridging the gap between our Sales and Customer Service teams and supporting company growth. You’ll work on the front lines in a fast-paced environment interacting with track enthusiasts and racers daily. Your objective is to decrease response times and provide world-class customer service that APEX is known for.

The majority of your interactions will be via email, car forums, and over the phone. Although you’ll take pride in your one-on-one customer interactions, real success will come from your ability to identify shortcomings of our current systems and processes and help management implement new efficient and effective solutions to improve the customer experience. You will have a front-row seat to how the company functions from the inside out, and once you’ve mastered your role you will have the opportunity to take on new challenges and roles.

• Get hands-on with the community by engaging in relevant automotive forums, where you’ll answer questions, maintain our commercial threads, and post customer features and technical articles.
• Defeat trolls by keeping yourself composed and writing responses so sensible that it blows their minds.
• Represent our company and products as we introduce ourselves into new automotive communities, makes, and models.
• Be our customers’ spokesperson and represent their “pain points” as APEX selects new products to develop for the community.
• Learn to support additional products as the catalog expands.
