Funny name, serious business
We make eco-friendly products and donate 50% of our profits to provide clean water and help build toilets for the billions of people who lack proper access. So far, we’ve contributed over $18 million AUD (roughly $12.5 million USD) to fund sanitation projects around the globe. Basically, we’re really good at doing good.
With hubs in Australia, the Philippines, China, the US, UK and Europe, our amazing team of 200+ work to make the biggest possible impact for people and the planet. Over the next couple of years, we’re hoping to increase our annual donation tenfold to get us closer to our dream of everyone in the world having access to clean water and sanitation services.
A bit about the role
We have a team of delightful, dedicated, and enthusiastic people across the Philippines and Australia, who do everything they can to make sure our customers have the best experience possible.
Our customers mean the world to us, they’re dedicated to helping our business grow and supporting our mission. Every interaction with them is a chance to help them out and make them smile.

In this 6-month engagement, you’ll be a vital support for our core team members, ensuring our customers consistently receive top-notch care.

Our customers’ needs are constantly changing. We seek someone who actively listens to understand these shifts, proactively seeks clarification, and delivers solutions before problems arise.
You’re tech-savvy!
Technology is your friend. You’re comfortable navigating through different tools at the same time. You’re excited to share your life-saving tools and might have come across our tech stack like Zendesk, Shopify, Guru and Monday.com.
