What will you be doing?

As a Merchant Support Advocate, you’ll be at the vanguard of ShipStation’s customer interaction.

You will tackle emails, live chats, and phone calls. Simultaneously, you will build and improve our customer experience structure to preemptively address customer concerns before they happen.

 You’ll accomplish those tasks by developing an exhaustive understanding of the application and working closely with ShipStation’s team of excellent engineers, designers, sales and marketing folks. If you are interested in being part of a cutting-edge SaaS software start-up that is loved by its customers, take a moment to apply!

What are we looking for?

  • Superb communication skills: You LOVE being on the phone.  You understand that effective communication is about more than what you say, it’s about taking the time to listen and understand. You can make complicated concepts sound easy or describe in detail the simplest of interactions.
  • A deep understanding of software and the web: You won’t need to know how to code, but terms like PHP, SQL, and JavaScript shouldn’t be foreign to you. You can quickly learn complex procedures, troubleshoot potential bugs on the fly (pun intended), and visualize customers’ screens from their description alone.
  • An empathetic desire to help: For you, a new inquiry isn’t just a case to close, but an opportunity to understand someone’s story and make their life better. Our purpose as a company is to help online businesses to thrive.
  • Prior customer-facing experience: Whether it was working the cash register at Coles or working as an Apple Genius, you must have experience working with customers.
  • Strong interpersonal skills – ability to work with people with a variety of skills
  • Insane ability to “Get Ship Done!” – Can you make good choices that serve both the customer and company? We need folks who are passionate about delighting and retaining customers.
  • B2B or SaaS support
  • Content creation for blogs and support articles
  • Running your own e-commerce business
  • Willing to accept hugs from customers
  • Anything else you’re awesome at! (we’d love to know)

What do we offer?

  • Truly dynamic environment where you’re challenged every day
  • Strong team environment where we win and lose (rarely) together
  • Honest, transparent culture that encourages high performance
  • Become part of a business that is transforming the ecommerce fulfilment market
  • Real-time training, coaching and mentoring from leaders and colleagues
  • Opportunities to travel regularly in Australia and internationally
  • New office environment, sit/stand desks, flexible holidays and more

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
