  • Follow call scripts, knowledge base articles, and SOPs while using sound judgment to personalize service.

  • De-escalate challenging interactions and manage conflicts with patience and positivity.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Technical Support, Billing, Logistics, Product) to close the loop on complex cases.

  • Identify recurring issues and share feedback to improve processes, FAQs, and product documentation.

  • Maintain data privacy and comply with all security, quality, and regulatory standards.

  • Availability to work night shifts aligned with U.S. time zones (EST/PST), weekends, and holidays if rostered.

  • Typing speed of 35+ WPM with high accuracy (preferred).

  • Reliable high-speed internet and a quiet, distraction-free workspace (for remote roles).




Experience



  • 0–2 years in customer service/contact centers (freshers are welcome).

  • Prior experience in U.S. process/customer support is an advantage.

  • Exposure to CRM tools (e.g., Zendesk, Freshdesk, Salesforce Service Cloud) is a plus.




Working Hours



  • Fixed or rotating shifts aligned with United States business hours (e.g., 6:00 PM–3:00 AM or 9:00 PM–6:00 AM IST equivalents, depending on client/time zone).

  • 5-day work week; rotational offs as per process needs.

  • Overtime/holiday work may be required during peak periods, with applicable compensation per policy.
