Who We're Looking For
A distributed customer engagement firm is hiring new remote team members to join as Live Chat Assistants. This position is a fit for people who enjoy typing, problem-solving, and helping others—without the pressure of phone calls or meetings. No degree is required, and you don't need any past work experience to succeed in this role.
You’ll be chatting with customers via web-based interfaces, answering their questions, helping them find what they need, and escalating more technical inquiries to specialized departments. You’ll use prepared scripts, support templates, and an intuitive dashboard to guide your interactions. We’re offering flexible scheduling, 100% remote work, and hourly pay up to $35.
Key Functions of the Role
Respond to Customer Messages in Real Time
Customers will initiate conversations via the live chat widget on websites. Your responsibility is to welcome them, understand their needs, and guide them to a solution. All communication happens through typing—no voice calls or video required.
Rely on Templates to Answer Questions
You won’t be expected to know everything on day one. Instead, you’ll be provided with a structured library of answers, explanations, and follow-up messages. Your job is to choose the right response and apply it with care and clarity.
Know When to Escalate
If a customer asks a question beyond your scope—like a technical outage or an account issue—you’ll use a simple escalation feature to send the conversation to the appropriate department. You’re not expected to solve every problem, only to route customers quickly and politely.
Keep Internal Notes Updated
At the end of each conversation, you’ll enter a short summary and select a label category (e.g., “Shipping Delay,” “Refund Request”). This ensures a smooth handoff and helps teams track common issues across the platform.
Your Remote Workspace
You’ll access everything through a browser-based system. As long as you have a laptop or desktop and a stable internet connection, you can work from home, a café, or wherever you feel most productive. You won’t be tied to a fixed location or expected to check in via video calls or meetings.
Shifts are available around the clock and can be selected weekly. Whether you prefer mornings, evenings, or weekends, you’ll have options to match your availability.
