Who are We Looking For?
On a small team like ours, every new hire is critical, so we don’t shy away from setting high expectations. We are looking for a confident self-starter who can use their ambition, creativity and amazing people skills to help drive sales, build brand loyalty, and take care of all types of customers.
The ideal candidate will love interacting with customers and clients, have a hunger to learn about both B2B and B2C sales channels, and have an affinity for measuring and hitting key performance indicators.
The Position
The Customer Service Specialist supports the Director of eCommerce, acting as our primary point person for exceptional B2C customer care. You’ll act as the caring, capable, friendly face of our product brands online and over the phone. You’ll provide exceptional customer service via chat, e-mail and phone. You’ll answer questions, solve problems, take a few orders, and generally surprise and delight our current customers. You’ll help us identify opportunities, track issues and generally be our eyes and ears out on the web – all while using this entry-level position as a career springboard to a larger role in our fast-growing Sales, Marketing, Product Development or Operations teams!
Success in this role will require hard work, a willingness to roll up your sleeves, attention to detail, and an eagerness to learn new skills. In return for your effort, your passion and your attention to detail, you’ll have a chance to make a meaningful contribution from day one, and to grow quickly within our organization. At Venturi, Customer Service is a launching pad, not a destination. We will train you on our systems and processes. We will support you. We will give you clear direction and valuable learning opportunities to expand your business skills. And over time, you’ll learn marketable skills from savvy, seasoned pros who share your drive for success, gaining valuable real-world experience that can catapult you into your next role.

This position is a genuine opportunity to flourish. You’ll hold ownership of programs and results. You’ll have permission to fail, as long as you’re failing forward.
