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.

    • Email
    • Live chat
    • Social media
  • Resolve issues on first contact whenever possible
  • Escalate complex cases to Tier 2 or technical teams

Ticket Management & SLA Execution

  • Prioritize tickets based on urgency and SLA
  • Maintain complete and accurate documentation for every interaction
  • Track open tickets and ensure timely resolution
  • Keep backlog under control and within SLA targets

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

Nice to Have

    • E-commerce
    • Healthcare

Why This Role Stands Out

  • High-impact frontline role

  • Exposure to multiple industries and tools
  • Opportunity to grow into QA, team lead, or operations roles
  • Fast-paced, structured environment
