Role Overview
This is a fully remote, entry-level position ideal for individuals seeking a flexible online job without prior professional experience or educational requirements. Our recruiting firm is working with a global ecommerce support partner to place qualified candidates into live chat and email-based customer service positions. These roles pay between $25–$35 per hour depending on shift timing and performance bonuses. The positions are available internationally and require no phone interaction—entirely chat-based. Absolutely no college degree or prior customer service experience is necessary. Successful applicants will be trained, coached, and guided to grow into the role over time.
The Client & What You’ll Be Doing
Our client is a global third-party customer service provider supporting several well-known ecommerce brands in health, lifestyle, and digital products. Their client portfolio includes both subscription-based startups and retail companies that ship products worldwide. As a Chat Support Representative, you’ll be answering incoming questions from customers via live chat or email, helping with common inquiries such as shipping times, refund statuses, login problems, and subscription management. You’ll be expected to multitask between multiple conversations at once, maintain a friendly tone in writing, and use internal tools to log actions and notes. This is a fast-paced but well-supported role where written communication is everything.
Primary Job Tasks
Respond to customer messages in real time via the company’s chat and email system. Maintain friendly, clear, and concise responses to a wide range of inquiries.
Guide customers through standard troubleshooting procedures, such as password resets, tracking order shipments, or updating their account details.
Tag and categorize each conversation accurately within the internal CRM so that follow-up teams have full context. Quality tagging is an important part of the support process.
Multitask across 2–4 simultaneous chat conversations while meeting response time expectations. Our client provides systems and shortcuts to assist with this.
Escalate complex or policy-related issues to senior support staff when needed, following clear documentation protocols.
Learn the brand voice of each client supported and adjust your communication accordingly. The ability to match tone is a key performance metric.
Attend occasional video check-ins or async feedback sessions with team leads to review your chat quality and improve service delivery.
Track frequently asked questions and customer pain points to help the client improve their help documentation. Your input will help reduce future tickets.
Maintain data privacy protocols at all times, especially when handling payment or account-related queries.
Monitor your own performance using the dashboard provided and aim to hit basic metrics like average response time, ticket satisfaction score, and proper closure rate.
Participate in bonus-eligible challenges during high-demand seasons. Prizes and incentives may be offered for top-performing reps.
Complete brief end-of-shift summaries or notes for overlapping team coverage. This helps ensure smooth handoffs in the 24/7 coverage schedule.
A Typical Shift Breakdown
Early in Your Shift
You’ll log in and check any updates from team leads or product managers, including new policy changes or internal FAQs. The chat queue will likely already have a few waiting customers, so you’ll begin by responding to those tickets. These may include shipping requests, delayed order concerns, or simple troubleshooting questions.
Mid-Shift Workload
This is the busiest part of the day, where multitasking and focus matter most. You’ll be actively handling 3–4 live chats at once, using the brand’s saved replies and support documentation to guide users efficiently. You’ll take note of any recurring problems and tag conversations accordingly. You may also coordinate with backend support if a customer needs a manual refund or product exchange.
Wrapping Up
In the final hour, you’ll start wrapping up conversations and documenting your final tickets. You may respond to a few longer-form email inquiries that don’t require urgent turnaround. Finally, you’ll submit your shift summary to the team lead, flagging any unresolved cases that need to be picked up in the next shift cycle.
Who We’re Looking For
No degree required—this is a skill-based, entry-level role open to all applicants.
No experience needed—training is provided and paid.
Strong English writing and grammar skills.
Ability to type at least 40 WPM comfortably with few errors.
Calm under pressure and able to manage multiple conversations without getting flustered.
Detail-oriented: able to tag tickets, follow written procedures, and escalate when necessary.
Reliable internet connection and personal computer.
Able to work independently and maintain your own schedule.
Comfortable with written-only communication (no phone work involved).
Friendly and helpful tone in all communications.
Willingness to grow and receive coaching from remote managers.
Tips for Performing at a High Level
Writing & Typing Fluency
The most important skill in this role is the ability to write quickly and clearly. Aim for professional but conversational tone in all chats. Use brand-approved responses but personalize them when appropriate. Typing fast is helpful, but typing accurately is essential.
Learning Product Details
You'll be trained on the products and services of each brand supported. Learn the top five customer questions for each one, and know where to find internal documentation when you're stuck. You don't need to memorize everything—just know where to look.
Written Tone and Customer Care
Smiling through writing matters. Even in frustrating cases, you must maintain a kind, solution-oriented voice. Avoid cold or robotic replies. Reassure the customer that their issue is being addressed and that you're there to help.
Managing Live Workload
Use saved replies wisely, but never blindly. Use the CRM search function to quickly locate prior conversations or escalation rules. Stay focused during your shift and take scheduled breaks to reset.
Handling Remote Independence
There’s no boss watching over your shoulder. You must be self-motivated and take ownership of your daily workflow. Time management and consistency are vital.
Growing With Feedback
Your chats will be reviewed weekly by quality control. Embrace feedback as a way to improve. Most top performers were once brand-new to customer support—they got better through repetition and review.
Getting Started with the Client
Initial Application
Submit your resume and basic information through our job portal. No cover letter is required, but clear writing will be evaluated at this stage.
Written/Typing Skills Assessment
You’ll complete a short typing test and sample chat replies. This is designed to gauge fluency, tone, and response formatting.
Interview or Chat Simulation
Some candidates may be asked to participate in a timed simulation with a hiring manager via chat. This is to test real-time communication skills under pressure.
Remote Training (Paid)
Accepted applicants go through a 3–5 day remote training program that includes brand knowledge, systems use, tone alignment, and response timing.
Trial Period With Coaching
Once live, you’ll enter a two-week probation phase where you receive direct feedback from supervisors. All chats are monitored for quality, accuracy, and professionalism.
Ongoing Work Assignment
After the trial period, you’ll be assigned a fixed shift and weekly work schedule. Continued eligibility for bonuses and schedule flexibility depends on performance and consistency.
Workplace Environment
The client operates on a remote-first model. Teams are spread across time zones and use asynchronous communication via Slack, Notion, and Zoom. Recognition is frequent and built into the system—peer shoutouts and monthly awards are standard. The company supports autonomy but offers backup through round-the-clock supervisors. Though fully remote, you'll always have support just a message away. Collaboration is encouraged through shared dashboards and optional huddles. You are never alone, even while working independently.
Perks and Extras
Paid remote onboarding and skills training
Flexible scheduling with multiple shift options
Performance-based bonus structure
Home office equipment allowance
Free subscription to writing and productivity tools
Internal promotion paths for top performers
Monthly peer-nominated recognition program
100% remote with international work eligibility
