You'll be responsible for managing customer inquiries through Zendesk, resolving order and product-related issues, and delivering an exceptional customer experience while collaborating closely with the operations and eCommerce teams. This is not a call center environment—the focus is on thoughtful, high-quality email support and problem-solving.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist customers with order updates, returns, shipping questions, warranty inquiries, and general product support.
• Resolve Shopify order issues including order modifications, refunds, cancellations, and fulfillment-related concerns.
• Investigate customer issues independently and coordinate with internal teams when required.
• Maintain excellent response times while ensuring a high level of customer satisfaction.
• Work closely with the Operations and eCommerce teams to improve customer experience and support processes.
• Identify recurring customer issues and recommend improvements to workflows and documentation.
• Utilize AI tools, including Claude, to improve efficiency and enhance customer support where appropriate.
• Document customer interactions and maintain accurate records within Zendesk.
• Contribute to building scalable customer service processes as the company grows.

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of customer support experience working directly for a Shopify eCommerce brand.
• 2+ years of experience supporting customers within the automotive, technical, mechanical, or engineering-related industries.
• 1+ hands-on experience using Zendesk as the primary customer support platform.
• Strong understanding of drop-shipping and how Shopify-based drop-shipping stores operate.
• Strong understanding of Shopify order management and customer workflows.
• Excellent written English communication skills.
• Experience handling customer issues through email and ticketing systems rather than high-volume phone support.
• Strong problem-solving abilities and attention to detail.
• Comfortable working independently in a remote environment.

• Experience working with AI-powered customer support tools such as Claude or similar AI assistants.
• Experience improving customer service workflows and documentation.
