The Wayfair Opportunity:

At Wayfair, we believe a phenomenal customer experience combined with a supportive employee structure has resulted in our award-winning Customer Service Team.

This isn't just about taking another phone call— this is about empowering our customers to create spaces reflecting who they are, what they need, and what they value. You’ll play a crucial role by providing a best in class experience when it’s most needed. Wayfair will give you the training, tools, and  decision-makin g ability to help our customers find solutions that work best for them.

You will empathetically help customers navigate a variety of post-order issues such as: shipping questions, damages, returns, replacements, assembly services and order  notifications. No scripts. No canned responses. These are true human to human interactions where you can make a meaningful impact. Wayfair will invest in you with continuous development, career  opportunities, and will surround you with a team of great people.

What Does a Senior Service Associate Do?

• Demonstrate Reliability: Attendance and commitment to being present and on time for your full shift each day is crucial. This helps ensure we're ready and available to help our customers when they need us most. For unexpected events or issues, we require our  representative s to be proactive in their communication and planning whenever possible.
• Handle a High Volume of Contacts: You will handle an estimated 50-60 phone calls per shift. This is a fast paced environment and highly structured. There is little down time in this position as you are typically on back to back calls during your shift.
• Meet Our High Performance Bar: You’ll work to exceed customer satisfaction, excel in meeting customer service efficiency metrics, and other  responsibiliti es as assigned.
• Professionally Engage Customers: You’ll need a passion for people. You'll be the voice of Wayfair and work to build a relationship with customers who contact us by inbound phone call, chats, and emails. Topics can range from returns, replacements, delivery, product availability, order status, and more.
• Listen Actively and Show Empathy: You will actively listen to understand customer concerns and leverage internal resources to find the best solution to thoroughly address their problem.
• De-Escalate Customer Concerns: Most customers contact us because they’ve had a problem and need your help. You will use your conflict management skills to balance the needs of the customer with the options from the business while always maintaining a professional composure.
• Problem Solve: Solutions aren’t a o ne-size-fits-a ll approach so customer service  representative s do not read from pre-populated scripts. You will be given a level of autonomy to help customers find the right solution. You’ll need to think analytically to solve customer problems in a first contact resolution approach.
• Be Tech Savvy & Multitask: You’ll need to juggle navigating multiple browsers, tabs, tools, and screens in order to quickly and effectively answer questions. The ideal customer service representative will be familiar with computers and can effectively navigate technology on a daily basis, and enjoys learning new programs.
• Escalate Systemic Issues: Help us continuously improve. You’ll identify areas where improvement is needed on behalf of Wayfair customers and share any trends with leadership.
