Business Development Representative
Skimmer is on a mission: to modernize the pool and spa service and repair industry. We’re a private equity-backed company with 6300+ customers using Skimmer’s pool service platform to transform their businesses.

Our customers love us almost as much as we love them (check out our reviews and our NPS score of 68!)
