• Stay current on product updates, training materials, procedures, and internal process changes.

• Accurately identify customer needs and guide them toward the appropriate solution.

• Confirm customer understanding and clearly communicate next steps.

• Document customer interactions and relevant information accurately.

• Collaborate with internal teams when additional assistance or escalation is required.

• Provide occasional support to Spanish-speaking customers when needed.

• Previous experience in a role where handling customer calls was a regular and significant responsibility.

• Advanced English proficiency — C1 preferred, with strong B2 candidates also considered.

• Clear and effective spoken communication skills for interacting with U.S.-based customers.

• Strong patience, empathy, active listening, and customer service skills.

• Ability to learn, retain, and explain a significant amount of product information.

• Comfortable working in an environment where products, processes, and training materials may change regularly.

• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to remain calm when assisting frustrated or confused customers.

• Availability to work within the required U.S. Central Time operating hours.

• Availability for schedules that may include weekends.

Nice to Have

• Previous experience supporting customers based in the United States.

• Fluent or advanced Spanish.

• Experience supporting a large or complex product catalog.

• Experience assisting older customer demographics.

• Previous experience in e-commerce, consumer products, retail, home improvement, gardening, or another product-based customer service environment.

Schedule & Working Conditions

What Success Looks Like

You may be a strong fit for this role if you:

• Feel comfortable spending a significant part of your workday speaking with customers by phone.

• Can explain the same topic patiently in different ways until a customer understands.

• Enjoy becoming knowledgeable about products and using that knowledge to solve problems.

• Can remain calm and professional when customers are frustrated.
