The Opportunity

Schedule: Monday–Friday or Tuesday–Saturday, 12:30 PM–9:00 PM EST

We’re looking for a Customer Support Agent to join our growing North American Support team.

In this role, you’ll be the first point of contact for salon, spa, and medi-spa owners and their teams. You’ll help clients troubleshoot software issues, answer product questions, and guide them through everyday workflows — making sure every interaction leaves them feeling heard, supported, and confident.

This is a great opportunity for someone who loves problem-solving, enjoys working in a fast-paced environment, and cares about helping small businesses succeed.

What You’ll Do

• Respond to incoming calls, live chats, and emails from Phorest clients, resolving issues quickly and effectively wherever possible.
• Diagnose and troubleshoot software questions, from day-to-day workflows to printer setup and basic network configuration.
• Use remote-access tools to support clients through technical issues in a clear, calm, and helpful way.
• Build strong product knowledge across the Phorest platform so you can guide clients with confidence.
• Escalate more complex or critical issues to senior support teams with clear, thorough documentation.
• Act as the voice of the customer by sharing product feedback, recurring issues, and feature requests internally.
• Collaborate with Support, Product, and Engineering teams to ensure client issues are resolved fully and efficiently.

Who you are

• Experience in the salon, spa, or medi-spa industry, or at least one year in a technical support or customer service role where you directly resolved client issues.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts in plain language.
• A calm, methodical approach to problem-solving — you investigate thoroughly, document clearly, and follow through.
• Comfort working independently in a remote environment, with a dedicated quiet workspace during your shift.
• Familiarity with standard computer operations, including web browsers, email tools, software installation, and basic networking concepts.
• Availability to work the required schedule as business needs dictate.

Nice to Have

• Previous experience using or supporting Phorest software.
• Experience with point-of-sale software.
• Familiarity with tools like Zendesk, Slack, or Notion.
• Experience supporting small business owners.
• Previous experience mentoring teammates or supporting team development.
