Virtual Customer Support Associate

Role: Virtual Customer Service Associate
Job Type: Seasonal
Location: Work from home in Maharashtra, India

Our mission at Amazon is to be Earth's most customer-centric company, and our award-winning Customer Service team is a key part of achieving that goal. Doing our best for our customers is where we get our energy, and that's why you'll find we approach things differently here. You won't be asked to read from a script or learn dialogue by heart. Instead we'll provide you with the training you need to problem solve for our customers. You'll bring your unique personality to every customer conversation and deliver the exceptional support experience our customers love.

What will you do as a Customer Service Associate?
As an Amazon Customer Service Associate, you have a very clear purpose: to prevent issues, solve queries, and delight our customers. You'll be the first point of contact for our customers by answering their requests through phone, chat and/or email – this includes everything from order and product questions to payment matters and website guidance. Our Customer Service Associates use a variety of tools to navigate, research, and review solutions, and communicate effectively with customers.

What are your hours?
This role requires working variable hours to match when customers need us most. You will work overnight/day/late shifts and your work week is minimum 40 hours. In order to match our customer demand, we schedule based on a variety of different shift patterns within the operating hours of 6am and 11 pm Sunday to Monday. You may be required to work national holidays. You will learn more about your exact schedule closer to your start date.

What strengths will you bring?

• Hard-working, articulate, and detail-oriented
• Friendly and customer-focused in every situation
• Ability to learn quickly and embrace change
• Comfortable multi-tasking in a high-energy environment.

What benefits will you receive?

• Medical insurance
• Pension plan
• Internet allowance
• Lifestyle benefits and retail discounts through our Amazon Extras program
