[Hiring] Customer Support Agent @Inspiration Commerce Group

Role Description

Italist and HEWI are two luxury fashion marketplaces — one focused on new-season pieces sourced directly from Italian boutiques, the other on pre-loved luxury goods — and together they serve shoppers across the globe. As a Customer Support Agent, you'll be the first point of contact for our customers: answering questions, resolving issues, and making sure every interaction leaves them feeling heard and taken care of. This is a fully remote role. You'll work closely with a small, tight-knit CS team and be expected to bring professionalism, empathy, and a real sense of ownership to every ticket you touch.

What You'll Do

• Handle inbound customer inquiries across email and chat through Gorgias, our customer support platform — covering order status, returns, shipping, sizing, and everything in between — for either Italist or HEWI.
• Resolve issues efficiently and thoroughly, escalating to the team lead when a situation calls for it.
• Navigate Shopify and our customs admin to look up orders, track shipments, and assist with post-purchase queries across both stores.
• Maintain accurate records and follow established SOPs, while flagging anything that seems broken or improvable.
• Represent two luxury brands with warmth and professionalism in every customer interaction.
• Collaborate with teammates across time zones to ensure consistent coverage and quality.

Qualifications

• You have hands-on experience in a customer-facing support role — e-commerce or fashion experience is a plus.
• You're calm under pressure, empathetic with frustrated customers, and quick to find solutions.
• Ownership Mentality: You don't wait to be told what to do. If a ticket needs solving, you solve it — and if something keeps going wrong, you flag it rather than work around it quietly.
• You're comfortable working independently in a remote environment with minimal hand-holding.
• Experience with Gorgias or similar helpdesk tools (Zendesk, Freshdesk) is a meaningful advantage; familiarity with Shopify is a plus.
• You're fluent in English; additional languages (Italian, French, German, Arabic, Japanese) are a genuine advantage given our customer base.
• You're okay with some structure and some ambiguity — startups are a mix of both.

Benefits

• A starting salary in the €1200–€1,700 range (gross) per month for a 40h work week + 20 days of vacation per year (compensation range varies based on candidates experience and performance during interviews).
• A fully remote, flexible work environment — we hire adults and treat them like adults.
• Real exposure to luxury e-commerce operations across two global brands.
• A small team where your work is visible, your feedback is heard, and there's room to grow.
