JOB OVERVIEW

Job Overview

We are hiring an exceptional German-speaking Email Customer Support Specialist for a premium Shopify health & wellness brand serving customers in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

Important:
This role is primarily focused on EMAIL SUPPORT.

You will not just answer customers — you will:

* manage communication quality,
* reduce friction,
* support operations,
* and act as a bridge between customers, suppliers, and internal systems.

This is a high-responsibility role, not basic support.

?

What Makes This Role Different

You are not just a support agent.

You are responsible for:

* keeping customers calm, informed, and confident
* preventing unnecessary refunds and chargebacks
* communicating clearly with suppliers when issues arise
* identifying problems early and thinking in systems

You will be one of the central communication points of the business.

?

Core Responsibilities

???? 1. Email Support (PRIMARY FOCUS)

* Respond to all customer emails in professional, structured, empathetic German
* Handle:
* pre-purchase questions
* post-purchase concerns
* delivery issues
* product usage questions
* Reduce confusion and prevent escalation through clear communication

?

???? 2. Supplier & Supply Chain Communication

* Communicate with suppliers regarding:
* shipping delays
* order issues
* product questions
* Act as a bridge between customer expectations and operational reality
* Ensure problems are resolved efficiently and clearly communicated

?

???? 3. Refund & Chargeback Awareness (VERY IMPORTANT)

* Understand when and how refunds should be handled
* Identify high-risk situations early (frustrated customers, delays, expectations mismatch)
* Help prevent:
* unnecessary refunds
* disputes
* chargebacks
* Support structured handling of refund-related cases

?

???? 4. Additional Support Channels

Secondary channels include:

* Meta / Facebook / Instagram
* TikTok
* WhatsApp

But again: EMAIL is the core focus

?

?? 5. Support Optimization Mindset

* Recognize repetitive issues and suggest improvements
* Help reduce ticket volume over time through:
* better communication
* clearer messaging
* smarter handling

?

Tools You Must Know

* Shopify
* Gorgias (required)
* Klaviyo
* Notion
* Zoom
* Loom
* AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT etc.)

?

Working Hours

* 3 hours/day to start
* 7 days/week
* Potential to scale to full-time

?

Ideal Candidate

You are NOT a beginner.

You are someone who:

* has worked with German ecommerce brands
* has strong written German skills
* understands DACH customer expectations
* has experience with Shopify + Gorgias
* can communicate clearly, calmly, and professionally
* understands how to de-escalate situations
* thinks in solutions, not replies
* can take ownership and work independently

?

Big Advantage If You Have Experience With

* health / wellness / medical products
* electronic products
* claim-sensitive industries (Meta / Google policies)
* refund handling and dispute prevention
* supplier communication
* operations-related customer support

?

Brand Tone & Communication Style

Your communication must reflect:

* professional
* calm
* structured
* trustworthy
* empathetic
* educational
* responsible

We focus on:

* natural, non-medication-based solutions
* helping customers understand their situation
* guiding them, not pushing them

Customers should feel:
???? understood
???? safe
???? supported

?

We expect:

* attention to detail
* responsibility
* long-term thinking
* consistency

In return:

* prefers simple, low-responsibility tasks

?

Test Task (VERY IMPORTANT)

Answer in German:

We are evaluating:

* empathy
* clarity
* professionalism
* trust-building
* tone
