Customer Support Representative (24/7) — Modavinio

Status: Full-time, remote.
Schedule: Must guarantee 24/7 coverage via shifts, weekends, and holidays.
Note from hiring manager: We’re still evaluating the right mix of human support and AI. We seek a human rep who can deliver excellent service now and also help us decide where AI adds value (and where it doesn’t).

About Modavinio

Modavinio is an online boutique for Italian-inspired luxury designer fashion serving customers in the US, EU/UK, and Switzerland.

What you’ll do

  • Provide real-time customer support across live chat, email, and (later) phone/social—24/7 coverage with defined SLAs.

  • Create, process, and track RMAs/returns; liaise with carriers (UPS, DHL, FedEx, USPS) and warehouses/3PLs.

  • Triage and resolve escalations, de-escalate tense situations, and coordinate with merchandising, operations, and fraud review.

  • Maintain customer records in CRM; keep the knowledge base/FAQs current and propose new help content.

  • Monitor and meet KPIs (first-response time, resolution time, CSAT, refund turnaround, chargeback win rate).

  • Use and evaluate AI tools (macros, suggested replies, auto-triage) and recommend where automation is appropriate vs. human-only handling.

  • Flag UX/site issues (e.g., broken links, size-chart questions) and provide structured feedback.

  • Process & accuracy: Detail-oriented, follows SOPs, documents thoroughly, and thinks in terms of SLAs and KPIs.

  • Tech & AI literacy: Comfortable using help-desk automations, AI reply suggestions, and canned responses; able to judge AI output quality.
