• Handle refund requests, missing item claims, and delivery issues efficiently and professionally.
• Maintain and update customer support macros to ensure a quick and streamlined response process.
• Work closely with the operations team to provide customers with real-time shipping updates.

What We’re Looking For

• A highly organised and detail-oriented individual with strong problem-solving skills.
• Experience or a strong interest in B2B operations, logistics, or wholesale fulfillment.
