As we continue to expand across the APAC region, we’re looking for a dynamic, customer‑centric professional to join our remote team in the United States. This role is a 1‑year contract position that offers the flexibility of remote work while placing you at the heart of our global support operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Escalation Lead: Serve as the primary escalation point for complex or unresolved customer cases originating from our APAC user base. Conduct in‑depth investigations, coordinate cross‑functional teams, and deliver timely resolutions that exceed customer expectations.

• Cross‑Functional Coordination: Work closely with Product Management, Account Management, Fraud Prevention, and Compliance teams—often across multiple time zones—to clarify open questions, share critical information, and ensure root‑cause investigations are thorough and accurate.
• Complaint Management: Collaborate with the Complaint Management team to handle a structured caseload of customer complaints. Follow defined workflows, maintain meticulous case documentation, and ensure all tickets are tracked to closure.
• Queue & SLA Management: Monitor ticket queues in real time, prioritize cases based on SLA targets, and maintain high CSAT and quality scores across the APAC region.
• Process Documentation: Contribute to the creation and refinement of support playbooks, knowledge base articles, and best‑practice guides that empower Tier 1 agents and reduce future escalations.
• Stakeholder Reporting: Prepare regular reports on escalation trends, resolution metrics, and customer feedback for senior leadership, highlighting opportunities for service enhancement.

• Proficiency with ticketing systems such as Zendesk, Freshdesk, or AWS Support Center, including the ability to maintain accurate case documentation.
• Strong analytical mindset: ability to apply established procedures to identify patterns and resolve non‑standard cases within a clear framework.
• Excellent organizational skills and the capacity to manage multiple priorities while meeting stringent SLA deadlines.
• Self‑starter who thrives in an independent, structured environment and can work effectively across time zones.

Preferred Qualifications

• Fluency in an additional APAC language beyond the primary language requirement.
• Experience in e‑commerce, marketplace, or fintech environments, especially within APAC markets.
• Familiarity with payment workflows, buyer/seller dispute resolution, or fraud prevention processes, including region‑specific payment methods common across APAC.
• Background in quality assurance, process documentation, or customer experience improvement initiatives.
• Knowledge of compliance and regulatory frameworks relevant to online marketplaces in APAC.
