• Strong IT Skills - Familiarity with common office software (Microsoft Office, Google Workspace), customer service platforms (Intercom is a +.).
• Outstanding Literacy - Ability to communicate effectively in writing with attention to detail, grammar, and spelling. You will often need to draft clear, concise responses to customer queries.

• Skilled in probing questions, needs discovery, and translating insight into concrete outcomes
