Customer Experience Representative (Part-Time)
Are you a person who takes ownership of your work and the impact you make on the customer experience? Do you have the attitude that behind every problem that need solving – is an opportunity to help?
With TekSavvy, you’ll support customers across Canada. We don’t believe in a tiered approach to customer support. You’ll be given in-depth and ongoing training to become great at what you do. You’ll develop improved technical skills – and if you’re a tech or gadget genius already - that’s a strong asset. You’ll be empowered to understand the needs of each customer and to respond to them, including technical support and standard customer service requests. Our team works as one. We encourage and invite peer-to-peer learning and development. We’ll help you to grow and to self-manage your growth aspirations.
