Gateway Fiber is seeking an outstanding individual to fill the role of Customer Service Lead. Gateway is a rapidly growing—private equity-backed—residential fiber broadband internet provider. As data requirements for residences and businesses continue to expand, Gateway is creating a leading, national fiber-to-the-home platform to serve this critical unmet need in our communities. Gateway provides a faster, more reliable internet paired with a simple pricing model and exceptional customer service.

With the support of its financial sponsor, Crosstimbers Capital Group, the company is initially investing more than $150 million to build a future‑proof network in Greater St. Louis and is actively developing plans to expand nationally.
