JOB OVERVIEW

About Us

VK Commerce is a fast-growing eCommerce company operating across Europe and the English-speaking markets. We sell products through Shopify and are looking for an exceptional Customer Service Specialist to become a core part of our remote team. You will handle both customer support and social media management across our brands. This is a permanent, long-term position — not a short-term gig or a training opportunity.

The Role

You will be the front line of our customer experience, handling inquiries, complaints, refunds, and post-purchase communication through email and social media. Your mission is to turn unhappy customers into loyal buyers, create efficient workflows, and ensure our customer experience is consistently world-class. This is not a call center job — it is a leadership role in managing brand communication, reputation, and customer satisfaction.

What You'll Own

• Manage and respond to customer tickets across email, live chat, and social media with speed and empathy.
• Handle refunds, returns, exchanges, and complaints professionally — de-escalating issues and turning negative experiences into positive ones.
• You must know how to turn unhappy customers into loyal buyers, create efficient workflows, and ensure the overall customer experience is world-class.
• Manage our Instagram and Facebook pages — upload scheduled posts, respond to comments and DMs, and maintain a consistent brand presence across all accounts.
• Maintain brand-aligned response templates and SOPs, and proactively improve them.
• Identify recurring customer issues and recommend process improvements to reduce ticket volume.
• Collaborate with the wider team on order-related questions, shipping updates, and post-purchase follow-ups.
• Manage customer interactions and social media presence independently with minimal supervision.

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience in eCommerce customer service or support management (non-negotiable)
• Proven track record of managing high volumes of tickets/messages daily with accuracy and empathy
• Deep working knowledge of Shopify and at least one of: Gorgias, Zendesk, or Freshdesk
• Excellent written English — your responses must be grammatically flawless and natural-sounding
• Strong de-escalation skills and ability to maintain a 5-star customer experience under pressure
• Ability to create and maintain SOPs and response templates
• Experience managing Instagram and Facebook business pages — comfortable uploading posts, engaging with followers, and handling DMs
• 100% reliable, proactive, and comfortable working independently in a fast-paced environment

Why Work With Us

• Stable, long-term position with consistent weekly hours
• Full autonomy no micromanagement
• Opportunity to work on multiple successful stores across Europe and the
English-speaking markets
• Flexible schedule results matter more than hours
• Join a motivated, growth-driven eCommerce team with the tools and structure to succeed

Trial Period

You will complete a 3-day paid trial where we assess your speed and accuracy in handling real customer messages, your ability to write empathetic and brand-aligned responses, and your initiative in improving systems or templates. If you perform exceptionally, this becomes a permanent role with consistent weekly work and growth opportunities.

How to Apply — READ CAREFULLY

To be considered for this role, your application MUST include the following. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed.
• Subject Line: Start your application message with the words "CS Expert — [Your Name]" so I know you read this post carefully.
• Experience Summary: List the eCommerce brands or stores you have supported, the tools you used (Shopify, Gorgias, Zendesk, etc.), and the average daily ticket volume you handled.
• Customer Response Test: Write a professional, empathetic reply to the following customer complaint:

Customer Email:
"I ordered a dress 2 weeks ago and it still hasn't arrived. I've emailed you 3 times and nobody responds. This is ridiculous. I want a full refund immediately or I'm filing a chargeback. Worst shopping experience of my life."

• Why You: In 2–3 sentences, tell me why you believe you can outperform most applicants in this role.
