What you’ll do:

• Accurately, quickly, and efficiently handle customer contacts via phone (for billing and retention, technical troubleshooting, content questions, etc.). Training for handling chat and email contacts will come later.

• Translate technological jargon in a way that users like your parents or grandparents could easily understand.

• Take key user feedback, and quickly and concisely pass it to the appropriate department (so we can keep improving the user experience).

The skills you have:

• Strong communication - both verbal and written

• Flexibility and can work anytime within our Customer Care Department Hours: currently 7 am - 6 pm Pacific (7 days/week)

• Goal-driven and outcome-oriented in prior work experiences
