• Collaborate with field agents to resolve complex cases and escalate when needed.
• Ensure all customer interactions comply with regulations and company policies, treating customers fairly.
• Build strong, cooperative relationships with customers that reflect our company values.
• Assist with small order placements, deliveries, and ensure all documentation is completed and filed.
• Contribute to small projects, administrative tasks, and ad-hoc duties to support the wider business.
