Role Summary

The CustomerService Specialist is a frontline, omnichannel problem solver. They handle the majority of day‑to‑day customer contacts across products and channels, follow clear workflows and SOPs, and deliver consistent, high‑quality support. Specialists are expected to resolve the current issue and reduce future contacts through education and expectation‑setting, and to identify appropriate cross‑sell opportunities or value‑add outreach that support customer outcomes and Esusu’s goals.

Key Responsibilities

Customer Support, Issue Resolution & Next‑Issue Avoidance

• Handle customer inquiries across all assigned channels (email, chat, messaging, voice) with accuracy, empathy, and efficiency.
• Use next‑issue avoidance techniques in every interaction:
• Ask clarifying questions to fully understand context.
• Anticipate common follow‑up issues and proactively educate customers (timelines, what happens next, dependencies).
• Direct customers to self‑service tools and help content to reduce repeat contacts.
• Document all interactions clearly in Zendesk (or other tools), including tags, dispositions, and internal notes.
• Develop and maintain working knowledge of multiple Esusu products and services (e.g., rent reporting, loan products, D2C/mobile app), and use that knowledge to support customers.
• When appropriate and consistent with policy, introduce relevant features, plans, or services (light cross / up‑sell) that genuinely help the customer achieve their goals.
• Participate in value‑add outbound calling or messaging (education campaigns, activation, adoption) when scheduled, following scripts and SOPs while tailoring to customer needs.
• Complete all onboarding, product, process, and refresher training on time.
• Participate actively in shadowing, simulations, and workshops, asking questions and sharing frontline insights.
• Provide feedback to the Senior Customer Service Specialists and Customer Service Leads on which training content and formats are most helpful or confusing, especially as products change.

Collaboration, Quality & Continuous Improvement

• Meet or exceed targets for First Response Time, handle time, adherence, CSAT, and QA.
• Act on QA and coaching feedback to continuously improve.
• Surface recurring customer pain points, bugs, or content gaps using the agreed tags/workflows so they can be addressed by Seniors, Leads, and cross‑functional partners.
• Support cross‑training efforts, including rotating to new products or channels as business needs evolve.

Skills & Qualifications

• Experience in customer service or support (contact center, BPO, SaaS, fintech, or similar) preferred.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English; Spanish is a plus.
• Comfortable working in a high‑volume, fast‑paced environment.
• Ability to follow detailed processes while staying attentive to context and nuance.
• Familiarity with tools like Zendesk, Quiq, and Google Workspace is a plus (or willingness to learn quickly).
• Demonstrated reliability, professionalism, and commitment to customer outcomes.
