Monitor service metrics and customer feedback to identify recurring problems and propose improvements to workflows or documentation.

Participate in training sessions and contribute to ongoing refinement of support tools and processes.

Build rapport with customers by demonstrating empathy, ownership, and a commitment to resolving their concerns.

Meet individual and team performance targets for responsiveness, resolution time, and customer satisfaction.

Qualifications

Minimum of 1-2 years of experience in a customer-facing or support role; experience with e-commerce, SaaS, or retail preferred.

High school diploma or equivalent required; associate degree or higher is a plus.

Proficiency with customer support platforms, CRMs, and ticketing systems; experience with Zendesk, Freshdesk, Salesforce, or similar tools is advantageous.

Technical aptitude sufficient to troubleshoot basic product issues, guide customers, and interpret logs or error messages.

Multitasking skills — manage multiple chat windows or tickets concurrently without sacrificing accuracy.

Strong organizational skills and attention to detail for accurate data entry and documentation.

Team player mentality with a willingness to learn, share knowledge, and support colleagues.

Why You’ll Succeed Here Our ideal Customer Service Representative is naturally inquisitive, resilient, and genuinely motivated to help others. You will thrive by combining empathy with process discipline, using available tools to diagnose and resolve issues efficiently while contributing ideas to improve the customer experience. This role offers a meaningful opportunity to influence product direction and operational quality by sharing customer insights with internal teams.

How To Apply Please submit a resume and a brief cover letter detailing your customer service experience and one example of a time you turned around a challenging customer interaction. Include your availability and desired salary range. Candidates who meet the requirements will be contacted for an initial phone screen followed by a virtual interview and practical support exercise.

Beyond the core duties, this position will involve periodic collaboration with product and engineering teams to replicate customer-reported bugs and validate fixes, contributing clear reproduction steps and customer context. You will be expected to participate in weekly cross-functional reviews to surface trends, contribute to the support knowledge base by authoring and updating articles, and assist in building self-service resources that reduce repeat contacts. Over time you will own specific operational improvements such as drafting escalation matrices, refining categorization tags for faster routing, or designing simple automations to streamline repetitive tasks.

The role may also include mentoring new hires, delivering small training sessions, and representing the voice of the customer in product planning meetings. We encourage continuous learning: you should propose measurable targets for reducing handle time and improving first-contact resolution, track progress using available dashboards, and celebrate wins with the team. Candidates who demonstrate leadership potential will be considered for senior support or operations roles. We prioritize psychological safety, open feedback, and measurable outcomes, and expect that you will engage constructively with peers to sustain high morale and consistent service quality.
