About the Role

We are hiring Part-Time Online Customer Service Representatives to handle customer inquiries via live chat, email, and social media messaging from home.

You will represent a growing online brand and be the first person customers interact with when they have questions, issues, or feedback.

  • Maintain response time standards — reply to chats within 60 seconds and emails within 2 hours during your shift
  • Escalate complex, sensitive, or unresolved issues to the full-time senior customer support team with full context notes
  • Contribute to the customer feedback log by tagging and categorizing common issues for the product and marketing teams

Requirements

  • High school diploma or GED — customer service experience is helpful but not required
  • Excellent written English — clear, concise, warm, and grammatically correct in every customer message
  • Typing speed of 40 or more words per minute — essential for maintaining live chat response time standards
  • Available 20 to 25 hours per week on a consistent part-time schedule — morning, afternoon, or evening options
  • Personal computer and reliable home internet — no phone headset required for this written-only support role
  • Professional, solutions-first attitude and genuine care for creating positive customer experiences

Pay and Benefits

  • Part-time remote — choose from morning, afternoon, or evening shift windows
  • Weekly pay via direct deposit — consistent and on schedule every pay period
  • No phone calls required — all support delivered via chat, email, and messaging
  • Performance bonuses for top-rated agents with consistently high customer satisfaction scores
  • Option to transition to a full-time senior customer service role after 60 days of consistent performance
