Customer Service Representative (High-Volume Support, Zendesk & Live Chat) – Remote | U.S. Hours

Position Type: Full-Time, Remote
Working Hours: U.S. Client Business Hours (flexibility for evenings/weekends)

About the Role

We’re hiring a Customer Service Representative (CSR) to handle high-volume inbound support and deliver a fast, professional, and customer-first experience.

This is not a low-volume support role — you will manage 50–100+ tickets per day across multiple channels while maintaining quality and speed.

If you’re someone who can stay calm under pressure, communicate clearly, and resolve issues efficiently — this role is built for you.

  • Escalate complex cases to Tier 2 or technical teams

Ticket Management & SLA Execution

  • Maintain complete and accurate documentation for every interaction
  • Track open tickets and ensure timely resolution

  • Share customer insights to improve product/service

Compliance & Quality

  • Follow privacy and compliance standards:
    • GDPR
    • HIPAA (if applicable)
  • Maintain confidentiality of customer data
  • Ensure consistent quality across all interactions

What Makes You a Strong Fit

  • You are patient, empathetic, and solution-focused

  • You stay calm under pressure
  • You are adaptable and quick to learn

Required Experience & Skills

  • 1–2 years experience in:
    • Customer service
    • Call center
    • Support roles
  • Experience with at least one platform:
    • Zendesk / Freshdesk / Salesforce Service Cloud

Nice to Have

    • E-commerce
    • Healthcare
    • Finance

What a Typical Day Looks Like

  • Respond across phone, chat, and email
  • Resolve issues quickly and accurately
  • Update knowledge base when needed
  • Collaborate with internal teams for escalations
  • Track customer sentiment and feedback

In short:
You ensure every customer interaction is fast, clear, and resolved.

Key Metrics (KPIs)

  • First Contact Resolution (FCR)
  • Average Handle Time (AHT) within SLA
  • CSAT / NPS ≥ 90%
  • Ticket backlog managed within SLA
  • Quality and consistency of responses

Why This Role Stands Out

  • High-impact frontline role
  • Clear performance metrics and expectations
  • Exposure to multiple industries and tools
  • Opportunity to grow into QA, team lead, or operations roles
  • Fast-paced, structured environment

Interview Process
