Skills
About the Role
You will own customers' inquiries from start to finish, keeping the customer updated at all times during the resolution process. You will primarily work on the live inbound phone channel for the entirety of your shift, but you should be prepared to flex onto email and chat channels based on business needs. You will work a full-time 40-hour per week schedule during hours of operation and meet quality and productivity standards. You will deliver exemplary customer service using a search-first mentality, researching questions through internal resources before asking for further support. You will expand your critical thinking skills to answer progressively more complex customer inquiries, stay up-to-date with new products and features, and communicate updates to customers clearly. You will collaborate closely with other advocates and across the company to influence product development, and you will be flexible to accommodate annual volume spikes from December through March, including weekend overtime and blackout periods for paid time off.
