Summary:

Job Responsibilities:
- Review incoming customer emails and service tickets in a support platform such as Freshdesk, identifying the question, requested outcome, and urgency before responding.
- Check customer contact information and previous interactions in a CRM such as HubSpot so advice reflects the customer's situation and earlier support conversations.
- Ask focused questions to understand service difficulties, separate symptoms from causes, and identify missing information without requesting unnecessary personal details from customers.
- Consult approved product and service information to explain available options, account navigation, service features, and the next steps needed to address each issue.
- Guide customers through standard troubleshooting steps, confirm what they see, and adjust explanations when an initial approach does not resolve the reported problem.
- Record the issue, checks completed, guidance provided, and agreed next action in the service ticket so another colleague can continue the conversation accurately.
- Coordinate with internal service specialists when a request needs additional investigation, sharing relevant context and keeping the customer informed about progress and outstanding questions.
- Escalate unresolved issues, repeated service problems, or requests outside the role's authority to the customer service team lead with a concise summary.
- Follow up on open tickets when promised, check whether the proposed solution worked, and close requests only after confirming the outcome or required next step.
- Meet quality expectations through accurate guidance, appropriate turnaround, complete notes, and consistent follow-up; use feedback from ticket reviews to improve future responses.
Qualifications:
- High school diploma or equivalent.
- No experience required; related experience helping customers, answering service questions, or resolving routine issues is preferred.
