Summary
Every answered question should leave a customer with clear guidance and a practical next step. As a Phone Support Advisor, you help callers understand service information, compare available support options, and resolve routine concerns without unnecessary transfers. You sit within the customer support team, work under a customer service team lead, and coordinate with other support colleagues when questions need further review. This fully remote position lets you work from home in Pennsylvania, United States, while providing thoughtful, consistent guidance over the phone. The role requires a 40-hour weekly commitment. Working days and shift times may vary.
Job Responsibilities
- Receive incoming calls through a contact-center phone system such as Five9, review the caller's stated concern, and establish what guidance they need.
- Confirm relevant customer account information using approved verification steps before discussing service details, keeping conversations focused on the caller's request.
- Review previous interactions in a CRM such as HubSpot so customers do not need to repeat information already available.
- Ask focused questions, listen without interrupting, and explain service features, available options, and routine next steps in clear, everyday language.
- Consult approved reference materials to give accurate guidance, checking unfamiliar information rather than guessing or promising an outcome outside your authority.
- Create and update service tickets in a support platform such as Zendesk, recording the question, advice provided, and outstanding actions.
- Guide customers through straightforward service steps, check their understanding, and adapt explanations when someone needs a slower or more detailed walkthrough.
- Escalate unresolved questions, repeated service concerns, or requests outside established guidance to the customer service team lead with concise supporting notes.
- Follow up on open tickets when updates are available, coordinate outstanding actions with support colleagues, and confirm the customer understands the resolution.
- Maintain quality through accurate answers, appropriate turnaround, complete notes, and dependable follow-up, using call feedback to improve future conversations and close completed tickets.

- Ability to listen actively, ask clarifying questions, and give practical guidance without overwhelming customers with unnecessary information or unfamiliar terminology.
- Basic familiarity with customer accounts, service tickets, reference materials, and the difference between resolving a routine question and escalating one.
- Comfort learning the named phone, CRM, and support systems while navigating screens and maintaining an attentive conversation with the caller.
- Clear spoken and written communication, including concise interaction notes that help another support colleague understand what happened and what remains open.
