Fractured Atlas is seeking a customer service representative (CSR) to join our team. A CSR will provide guidance and support on all our products and services to our artist members with accuracy and efficiency. The best CSRs are genuinely excited to help others, have an incredible amount of patience, and can function in a fast-paced environment that is continually changing while remaining calm and collected. They’re patient, empathetic, and proactively communicative. Customer service representatives can put themselves in their customers’ shoes and advocate for them when necessary. The ideal candidate is a natural problem solver. They are confident at troubleshooting and diligent at investigating an issue if they don’t have enough information to quickly resolve it. The goal is to respond efficiently and accurately to customer inquiries, ensure excellent standards, and maintain high customer satisfaction.
At Fractured Atlas, we are committed to
anti-racism, anti-oppression principles in all areas of our internal and external work. This commitment is grounded in our belief that change is possible, and that our work, and that of the artistic community more broadly, will grow stronger as oppression is eliminated.
