- Deliver multi-channel support: Resolve customer questions and concerns via phone, email, and text with empathy, clarity, and strong problem-solving skills.
- Troubleshoot & guide: Help customers identify and fix issues with their hearing aids by walking them through clear, step-by-step solutions and bringing in additional support when needed.
- Drive retention through resolution: Address concerns early, follow through on open issues, and apply sound judgment to prevent avoidable returns while maintaining a high-quality customer experience.
- Build product & hearing health expertise: Develop deep knowledge of Audicus products and hearing health concepts to confidently guide customers and set accurate expectations.
- Advocate for the customer internally: Capture insights, flag trends, and collaborate with Audiology, Operations, and Product teams to improve tools, processes, and the overall customer experience.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
- Confident and personable on the phone, including the ability to handle longer, emotionally nuanced conversations
- Empathetic and patient, with the ability to calmly de-escalate frustrated or confused customers
- Strong problem-solver who’s comfortable navigating gray areas and finding the best path forward when there isn’t always a perfect solution
- Adaptable and resilient - you thrive in a growing company where processes evolve and priorities can shift
- Comfortable learning new tools, products, and workflows as the business scales
- Thoughtful decision-maker who can balance customer needs with business constraints
- Dependable and punctual - you show up for customers and teammates and take ownership of follow-ups through resolution
Candidates who are most successful in this role are proactive self-starters who enjoy speaking to customers on the phone as well as through email communication. They get creative and innovative to solve problems, understand the value of working cross-functionally to achieve company goals, and consistently demonstrate a strong ability to communicate both thoughtfully and efficiently in their work.
