About this Opportunity
This position demands versatility, as we are in a fast-paced environment. We are searching for people who will get the job 'done' and go beyond the call of duty. There are often opportunities for promotion and for that reason, we look for people who show a special quality to take our department and company to the next level.

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
- Solutions-oriented when working with remote customers
- Curious about technology and a quick study
- Strong typing skills - at least 50 wpm or more
- Prior inbound and outbound experience preferred
Other things that would make you further stand out:
