Aira Agent Position:
Working as an Aira agent is unlike most jobs because every customer call is varied and unique. Agents can be called upon by Aira customers for assistance with anything from ordering a morning coffee on the way to work to planning a dream journey around the globe. Since no two calls are the same, Aira agents are chameleons who are ready to adapt, quick to troubleshoot, and who always provide superb customer service.
How does Aira work?
Aira is an information-providing service that empowers individuals to live with greater freedom and independence. We deliver instant access to visual information; in fact, Aira’s technology has been described as having vision in your pocket. As a certified Aira agent you simply log onto our specialized dashboard from your personal computer at home and begin answering live video calls from our customers.

Who are Aira’s customers?
Many of Aira’s customers, known as Explorers, are blind or have low vision. While the majority of our Explorers live in the United States of America, we also have Explorers in Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand.

Sound exciting but not sure you’re up for the challenge? Don’t worry! We have developed a specialized training and certification process to ensure you'll be ready and able to help all of Aira’s customers with these activities of daily living.
