The role emphasizes responsiveness, accurate notes, and escalation when needed; a 40-hour week, flexible shifts, and access to Zendesk, Intercom, and HubSpot platforms.

Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• No experience required; related experience answering customer questions through chat, email, or another service channel is preferred.
• Ability to read customer messages carefully, identify the main question, and ask for relevant clarification without making assumptions.
• Clear written communication, including accurate spelling, grammar, proofreading, and a professional tone when customers are confused or frustrated.
• Basic understanding of service tickets, customer interaction histories, and how approved reference information supports consistent responses.
• Willingness to learn the named support, chat, and CRM systems, including ticket updates, conversation searches, and clear handovers.
• Ability to prioritize waiting messages, maintain accurate notes, and recognize when a request needs a team lead's guidance.
• A reliable computer, high-speed internet, and quiet private workspace, with availability for the 40-hour weekly commitment and agreed working days and shift times.
• Authorization to work in the United States.
• Fully remote work from home, with customer conversations and team coordination handled through digital channels.
• Structured onboarding and training on a support platform such as Zendesk, a live chat such as Intercom, and a CRM such as HubSpot.
• Regular check-ins with the customer service team lead to review questions, discuss feedback, and reinforce consistent service practices.
• Opportunities to build message prioritization, proofreading, customer questioning, and ticket follow-up skills through everyday support work.
• Health coverage, paid leave, a 401(k), bonus opportunities, and stipends.

Responsibilities

• Receive incoming customer emails and service tickets through a support platform such as Zendesk, reviewing the request and earlier exchanges before responding.
• Answer customer messages through a live chat such as Intercom, using clear greetings, focused questions, and straightforward explanations suited to the conversation.
• Check customer contact information and relevant interaction history in a CRM such as HubSpot before discussing an existing request or updating its status.
• Clarify the customer's question, identify missing information, and consult approved product or service information rather than guessing at an answer.
• Guide customers through routine account navigation and service questions, explaining each step in plain language and confirming whether the guidance helped.
• Record the question, checks completed, response provided, and next action in the service ticket so another teammate can understand the exchange.
• Keep customers informed when an answer requires further review, setting appropriate expectations without promising an outcome or an unconfirmed response time.
• Escalate unresolved questions, repeated difficulties, or requests outside your authority to the customer service team lead with concise context and supporting notes.
• Review pending tickets, follow up when requested information becomes available, and confirm the outcome before marking an exchange complete or handing it over.
• Meet quality expectations through accurate answers, appropriate turnaround, complete notes, and consistent follow-up; use feedback to improve future chat and email responses.
