The Client & What You’ll Be Doing
The client is a leading platform providing digital services to customers across multiple industries, including tech, education, and consumer products. Their customer base is global, and users rely on responsive, human-centered support.

Use Support Macros and Internal Docs: Reference brand-approved templates and internal knowledge base articles to deliver clear and consistent support.
Track and Document Tickets: Record all customer conversations and assign appropriate tags, summaries, and follow-up actions for other team members.
Escalate Complex Issues: Route issues to the billing, QA, or engineering teams when problems fall outside your control or involve platform errors.
Flag Process Improvements: Suggest better language for templates or identify areas where the help documentation may be unclear or outdated.
Meet Performance Targets: Strive to maintain high levels of customer satisfaction, fast response times, and accurate ticket completion.
Engage in Asynchronous Team Communication: Collaborate with team leads and peers through Slack, Notion, and scheduled updates.
Stay Informed About Product Updates: Read daily announcements and bug reports to ensure your responses reflect current platform status and policies.

Writing & Typing Fluency
Speed matters—but accuracy and tone are even more important. Use spell-check tools and chat formatting guidelines to ensure every message is clean and professional.
