The Customer Success Specialist serves as the first point of contact for prospective and current clients across multiple communication channels. Reporting to the Operations Lead while working closely with the COO and Marketing team, you'll build trusted relationships by providing thoughtful guidance, clear communication, and consistent follow-through at every stage of the customer journey.
This part-time role is ideal for someone who enjoys helping people solve problems while bringing structure and organization to every interaction. You'll respond with accuracy, communicate with confidence, and make sure every client receives timely, complete answers without losing sight of the bigger picture. Rather than simply answering the same question repeatedly, you'll recognize patterns, identify opportunities for improvement, and collaborate with the team to strengthen our systems and overall client experience.
Success in this role comes from balancing genuine customer care with attention to detail. You'll be trusted to resolve issues independently, communicate with warmth and professionalism, follow established processes, and know when a situation calls for thoughtful judgment. Your ability to build relationships, maintain consistency, and keep communication organized will directly influence the experience our clients have with Thanks for Visiting.

Inbox coverage — every channel, every day Monitor and respond to inbound messages across Instagram, Facebook, email, SMS via Chatra, YouTube, podcast platforms, and paid ad comments within the response windows below.
First and final resolution Answer questions clearly, troubleshoot basic access and user issues, and close every thread in a single interaction whenever possible. The goal is zero open loops.
Conversion support Identify where a prospect is in their journey and give them the right next step — a free resource, Bootcamp registration, or Strategic Host application — without acting as a dedicated salesperson.
Bootcamp and workshop onboarding Ensure every new participant has access before the program begins. Confirm survey completion. Reach out proactively when someone needs a nudge, not after they message asking why they can't get in.
Edge Case Ownership You are empowered to resolve issues for confused or frustrated contacts independently. Direct escalation to the Operations Lead should only occur when decision-making authority is required for matters such as removals, refunds, or situations that fall outside your established guidelines. We trust your judgment to determine when a case exceeds those boundaries, as leadership does not set a limit on your autonomy.
Trend reporting Surface common questions, friction points, and objections to the team every Friday. You are the earliest signal we have that something in our messaging or operations needs attention, and we expect you to treat that function seriously.
Demonstrated customer-facing experience in a role where you were the person responsible for holding the relationship when things got hard, not just completing tickets.
Demonstrated comfort with AI tools, not as a copy-paste shortcut but as infrastructure thinking. You've used AI to build something, automate something, or surface something that made a workflow faster.
Strong written communication — warm, concise, and on-brand without needing edits. Every reply you send is final-draft quality, not a starting point for someone else to clean up.
Ability to de-escalate a frustrated or confused contact and close the thread without escalating to leadership, unless the situation requires a decision outside your guidelines.
Comfort covering non-standard hours during live events. Three quarterly Bootcamps and monthly workshops run on a fixed schedule. The inbox does not pause, and neither do you.
Self-directed across high-volume, multi-channel coverage. You manage your own workload and surface problems before leadership notices them.
Direct experience working inside the online marketing or digital education space.
Firsthand familiarity with the short-term rental industry, whether as a host, property manager, or someone who has worked closely with STR operators. You will learn our world either way, but prior context shortens the ramp.
Experience with Google Workspace, Go High Level, Chatra, or comparable customer success and community platforms used inside a digital education business.
Track record of building or improving internal systems, such as response templates, escalation frameworks, or reporting dashboards, not just maintaining existing ones.
