Emergency Preparedness Specialist

This role is ideal for candidates with a background or strong interest in emergency preparedness, tactical equipment, or military/law enforcement environments. About MIRA Safety

MIRA Safety designs and manufactures professional-grade protective equipment for military, law enforcement, first responders, and civilians. Our products include gas masks, filters, hazmat suits, and emergency preparedness solutions used in high-risk, high-consequence environments.

We operate in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment where ownership, execution, and preparedness matter. Our team is mission-driven, detail-oriented, and committed to educating customers so they can make confident, informed decisions when it matters most.

As we continue to grow, we are seeking disciplined, driven individuals who want to help build a globally trusted preparedness brand.

This is not a traditional call center position.

The Emergency Preparedness Specialist serves as both a frontline customer advocate and a trusted preparedness consultant on the phone. This role focuses on educating customers on complex protective equipment, guiding purchasing decisions, overcoming objections, and identifying appropriate upsell and cross-sell opportunities while delivering a professional, high-trust customer experience.

You will manage customer interactions end to end and work closely with Sales, Customer Service, and Leadership to support revenue growth and long-term customer success.
