  • Experience in coaching and inducting team members to train and develop their Customer Service skills and technical knowledge
  • Familiarity with ecommerce ordering processes, including RMA/returns and using 3rdparty platforms such as ERP and CRM (e.g. MS Dynamics AX/D365, SAP, etc.)
  • Conflict resolution, problem solving and interpersonal skills with an ability to look at the big picture
