What you'll do

  • Monitor and respond to tickets across our support inboxes, hitting response-time targets (4 business hours standard, 1 hour for high-priority issues like billing disputes or threats)
  • Correctly categorize and tag every ticket for accurate reporting
  • Handle common cases directly using our documented playbook and canned response library — access issues, billing/commission questions, refund requests, subscription changes, while personalizing every reply rather than pasting a stock response.
  • Recognize sensitive situations, refund threats, chargeback risk, legal/review mentions — and escalate immediately per our clear escalation ladder
  • Keep the queue clean: no ticket left without a first response by end of day
  • Work primarily out of our Helpdesk platform, with Slack for team coordination and Trello for client/refund tracking

What they require

  • 1+ years in a customer support, help desk, or email/chat support role
  • Excellent written English, clear, warm, and typo-free; you can write like a helpful human, not a script
  • Experience with a ticketing/helpdesk platform (Zendesk, Freshdesk, Gorgias, HelpScout, or similar) — we'll train you on our specific stack
  • Comfortable working independently on a remote team, following detailed SOPs without needing constant oversight
  • Strong judgment under pressure — able to read when a situation needs empathy, when it needs firm policy, and when it needs immediate escalation
  • Reliable internet and a distraction-free home setup
  • Available to work full time 9 hours per day Mon-Fri
  • Preferred: prior experience in online education, coaching, subscription, or membership-based businesses

Benefits

  • Fully remote, work from anywhere within [insert accepted regions/timezones]
  • Compensation between $1,000–$1,500/month
  • Clear, well-documented processes, you're never guessing what to do, we have a full internal playbook for nearly every scenario
