Full Description

As a Customer Support Specialist at CodeVista, you'll play a vital role in ensuring our clients receive prompt and effective assistance. This entry-level position is fully remote, allowing you to work from anywhere in Canada with reliable internet access. Our team values self-starters who thrive in independent settings while staying connected through modern collaboration tools.

Your primary responsibilities will include responding to customer inquiries through multiple channels such as email, live chat, and phone support. You'll troubleshoot common issues related to our software products, guide users through basic setups, and escalate complex problems to senior team members when necessary. Expect to document interactions in our customer relationship management (CRM) system, like Zendesk, to maintain accurate records and track resolution times.

In this remote role, you'll use tools like Slack for team communication, Zoom for virtual meetings, and Google Workspace for daily tasks. We emphasize asynchronous communication to respect diverse time zones, but core hours from 9 AM to 5 PM EST will ensure overlap with the team. Training will be provided through online modules and one-on-one sessions to build your confidence in handling support tickets.

Entry-level candidates will appreciate the focus on foundational skills. You'll learn about customer service best practices, active listening, and empathy-driven responses. No advanced technical knowledge is needed; basic computer proficiency with Windows or macOS is sufficient. We're looking for individuals eager to grow, with opportunities for advancement into specialized support roles.

CodeVista fosters a supportive remote culture with regular virtual team-building activities, monthly check-ins, and access to mental health resources. Your contributions will directly impact user satisfaction, helping us maintain our reputation for reliable service. Join us to start your career in customer support with flexibility and purpose.

This position requires strong written and verbal English skills, as our primary audience is English-speaking. Proficiency in French is a plus for broader Canadian reach. Time management is key in a remote setup—use tools like Trello or Asana to prioritize tasks. We're committed to diversity and inclusion, welcoming applicants from all backgrounds to our virtual office.

Requirements

• High school diploma or equivalent
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Basic computer literacy and familiarity with email and chat tools
• Strong problem-solving abilities and attention to detail
• Self-motivation and ability to work independently in a remote environment
• Time management skills to handle multiple inquiries
• Willingness to learn customer support software and processes
• Empathy and patience in customer interactions
