Who We Are
GrowthAssistant connects top marketing and operations talent with fast-growing companies that depend on great execution to scale. Founded in 2021 and named by Forbes as one of the best startups to work at, we're a permanently remote team that runs on integrity, proactive candor, and a bias toward action — and we prioritize the human experience in everything we do. We hire for skill and for heart, and we invest in our people for the long haul.
The Opportunity
We're hiring a Customer Service Support Assistant to help a fast-growing direct-to-consumer e-commerce brand deliver fast, empathetic support across email and live chat during peak business periods, including weekends and high-volume promotional seasons. In this role you'll manage a high volume of customer inquiries with speed and accuracy — handling product questions, order and shipping concerns, modifications, and cancellations — while working within platforms like Shopify and Gorgias, coordinating with warehouse and fulfillment teams, and helping reduce ticket backlog so every customer gets a seamless, solution-oriented experience.

-
eCommerce & Platform Management: Navigate Shopify to review orders and customer accounts, use Gorgias to manage and resolve tickets, work within OMS/WMS systems to track fulfillment, and apply AI-assisted support workflows where applicable.
-
SLA & Queue Monitoring: Monitor ticket and chat queues to meet SLA targets (4-hour first response, 2-day resolution), keep documentation accurate, and escalate urgent or complex issues appropriately.
-
Process Improvement: Support continuous improvement of support workflows and the overall customer experience, helping reduce backlog during weekends, promotions, and peak sales periods.
What You Bring
-
Customer Service / eCommerce Support Experience: Previous experience in customer service or eCommerce support, including handling both email and chat.
