The Role
Customer Service Agents get yelled at by moronic customers. Customer Service Agents mindlessly mash keyboards to regurgitate answers found in the FAQ. Customer Service Agents memorize corporate policies and blame the handbook when all else fails. Customer Service Agents check the clock every eight seconds until it's time to go home.
If you clicked this job posting thinking that a "Customer Experience Representative" sounded familiar - that it sounded like the dozens of suffocating, braindead "Customer Service" jobs you've worked in the past - go ahead and close this tab. The job isn't right for you.
At dbrand, our Customer Experience Representatives go above and beyond to offer unique, personalized interactions with our legion of fanatic customers. Solving customer's issues is only half the battle. The other half? Serving as an official mouthpiece for a brand that's renowned for their colorful, offbeat customer correspondence. You're just as likely to send someone a flippant reaction .gif as you are to help them find a lost package - both are equally valid uses of your time. Want to ship a customer a cake with a custom-tailored insult written in icing? Encouraged. We're on the hunt for intelligent, motivated individuals with razor-sharp judgement that we can mold into the Customer Experience Representatives of tomorrow. Does that sound like you? If so, keep reading.
The Environment
The Environment
Still here? Excellent. Let's fast-forward a couple of months. The Environment is probably your home - or, if you're into home invasions, someone else's. Your interactions with your team, while fulfilling and excellent, are still largely relegated to Google Meets, internal group chats, and a Discord server for after-work gaming sessions.
As you and your team get into a rhythm for the day, the sound of your keyboard switches are firing off. Having once again excelled where peers of your past would have faltered, you allow yourself a moment of calm triumph before jumping back into the Zendesk inbox.
The energy of your environment comes to a halt as you don your headphones. You pound an espresso and are ready to crush some more emails. The hours feel like minutes as the Zendesk inbox approaches zero for the second time in the day.
Not so fast. You’re not there yet. To make this dream a reality – to get the opportunity to maintain our world-class brand reputation and enhance the experience for our millions of customers worldwide, you’re going to have to prove yourself. Make it past the gate and your future self won’t be able to thank you enough. Let’s see if you’ve got what it takes...
The Characteristics
- Agile: You’re nimble. You’re adaptable. You thrive in an environment where priorities can change in an instant.
- Analytical: Your decisions are driven by only one thing: data. You continue to master all the tools necessary to surface insights.
- Collaborative: You enjoy purposeful meetings. You value the contributions of your coworkers as much as those of your CEO.
