- Serve as the communication liaison between customers, technical staff, and sales specialists
- Escalate complex situations appropriately while maintaining ownership of the outcome
Process Transactions & Order Support
- Accurately process Trades Returns, Exchanges, and used-item requests
- Handle payments including Credit Card, Check, Direct Deposit and PayPal transactions
- Support inquiries related to Trades, Website, Amazon, and eBay orders
- Maintain accuracy and documentation across customer accounts and order records
Coordinate Cross-Team Communication
- Screen and route calls to appropriate sales or technical specialists
- Support off-site customer service team inquiries and information requests
- Monitor and respond to Dynamics messages, Voicemail, Email, and eBay messages consistently
- Partner with internal teams to resolve pending customer and operational issues
Drive Service Efficiency
- Identify recurring customer concerns and help prevent repeat issues
- Maintain an optimistic, solutions-focused approach to problem solving
- Assist with operational support needs within the department when required
- Responsibilities may evolve over time; employees may be asked to take on additional duties as needed to support business priorities.
What Will Help You Thrive
- Customer service experience with direct problem resolution
- Strong written and verbal communication skills (Spanish a plus)
- Comfort learning and discussing photography equipment or technical products
- Ability to manage multiple open cases while maintaining accuracy
- Self-directed, accountable, and comfortable working independently or within a team
- Positive, people-oriented, and service-driven mindset
This role requires three on-site days weekly to ensure in-person collaboration, improved communication, effective teamwork, and real-time problem solving to enhance team synergy and productivity. A standard 40 hour work week is expected.
