Job Description
Customer Support Specialist
Purely Optimal Inc.
Role Description As a Customer Support Specialist, you will own member inquiries from first message to resolution. The bulk of the role is handling email support, reading carefully, answering clearly, and resolving issues in as few replies as possible, alongside live chat and occasional voice support. You will work closely with the operations team to keep members moving through bookings, cancellations, and account questions without friction. What You'll Do - Handle email inquiries as the core of the role, triage the inbox, prioritize, and resolve member tickets with clear, accurate, friendly replies. - Support members across channels: email, live chat, and occasional phone, on bookings, cancellations, modifications, membership, and billing questions. - Guide members through the platform and resolve issues at first contact wherever possible. - Verify identity and handle account details securely, following member verification and data-handling procedures. - Coordinate with operations and suppliers to resolve at-property or booking issues, and escalate the right cases at the right time. - Keep canned responses and help content sharp so common questions get fast, consistent answers. - Spot patterns in recurring issues and flag them to the operations team so we fix root causes, not just tickets. Qualifications - Travel industry experience (required). You have worked in travel or hospitality before, whether at an OTA, travel agency, airline, hotel, or booking platform, and you understand how bookings, cancellations, and itineraries actually work. - Excellent written and spoken English, clear, warm, and professional. - 1–2+ years in customer or member support, ideally email-based or in a ticketing environment. - Strong writing instincts, able to explain something complex simply and resolve it in one well-crafted reply. - Calm and empathetic under pressure, with a genuine solutions-first mindset. - Organized and detail-oriented, comfortable managing a busy ticket queue without dropping threads. - Tech-comfortable, quick to learn helpdesk, CRM, and booking tools. - A reliable internet connection and a quiet, professional remote workspace. Requirements - Salary: USD 200–500 per month, depending on experience. - Shift: Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST). You must be available to work US business hours regardless of your home time zone. - Engagement type: Remote, full-time, freelance basis (monthly invoice). - Training period: First 2-4 weeks may run on a daytime schedule overlapping with the operations team before transitioning to the standard EST shift. Benefits - Remote-first with a flexible, results-driven culture. - Real impact, you are the human members rely on when it matters most. - Room to grow into senior support or operations as the company scales. - A direct line to the operations team, your insights shape how we improve. How to Apply Send your CV, a short note on your support experience, and a one-minute video (required) telling us why you are a fit for this role. Optional but encouraged: a brief sample of how you would reply to a member email asking to cancel a booking, we care most about how you communicate.

Role Description The Curious Cardinals Marketplace connects K–12 students with exceptional mentors — college students and young professionals who inspire curiosity and help kids discover what they love to learn. As a Customer Support Specialist, you're the first voice families hear when something needs attention. You handle it with warmth, clarity, and calm, whether it's a confusing bill, an unreliable mentor, or questions about possibilities. This role is for you if: - Your communication is exceptional — on the phone and via email. - You stay composed under pressure. - You find genuine satisfaction in turning a frustrated customer into a relieved one. - You enjoy crafting emails that balance being apologetic and firm, actionable and non-pressuring. Responsibilities - Live Support & Triage - Serve as the first point of contact for inbound parent requests that require or would benefit from a live call. - Jump on live calls to address questions, complaints, and concerns with warmth and efficiency. - Handle mentor issues: validate the family's frustration, communicate next steps, and initiate a rematch when appropriate. - Route families to the right resource when the situation calls for it. - Straightforward Rematch Management - Own end-to-end rematches for straightforward, guardian-driven cases (e.g., a mentor has flaked or stepped off an engagement). - Use AI tools and templates to generate engagement descriptions and coordinate next steps efficiently. - Maintain accurate HubSpot records for all cases you own. - Billing Support - Deeply understand the Curious Cardinals billing structure. - Explain billing clearly and patiently to families — over email and on calls. - Resolve billing disputes and conflicts; escalate to the ops team when needed. Success Metrics - Speed of Resolution — how quickly inbound requests are acknowledged, addressed, and resolved. - Close Rate on Owned Rematches — of the straightforward rematches you own, how many result in the family moving forward with a new mentor. - Situations "Salvaged" — of the customers you speak to, how many we're able to retain despite the friction they experienced. Qualifications - Clear, Warm Communicator — You're a natural on live calls, especially with frustrated or confused customers. Your written communication is equally polished. - Organized & Detail-Oriented — You juggle multiple open tickets at once without letting anything fall through the cracks. - People-First Mindset — You stay patient and warm even when families are frustrated or unreasonable, but you also know how to set gentle limits and share things a customer may not want to hear, effectively. - Self-Starter — This is a remote role; you manage your own queue and flag issues proactively before they escalate. - Comfortable with Digital Tools — We use Claude, Slack, Gmail, and HubSpot daily; you pick up new tools quickly. Bonus Points - Client-Facing Background — Prior experience in customer support, customer success, hospitality, or a similar role — especially with live phone support. - Billing Experience — You've handled billing questions or disputes before. - AI-Curious — You're excited to use AI tools to work faster and do your job better. - Passionate about reimagining the future of K–12 education.
