Customer Service Associates are ski gear experts and can provide customers with the best equipment recommendations to match their ability, preferences, and budget.

  • Perform binding adjustments for customers as needed.

  • Process returns, refunds, and order cancellations.

  • Edit customer orders before fulfillment, and communicate interdepartmentally to make appropriate adjustments. Including:

    • Documenting customer requests/interactions in CRM using clear and concise rhetoric

    • Physically communicating with members of other departments with customer requests/order adjustments that directly affect those departments

  • Assist the shipping team with basic tasks (box making, order picking) on busy shipping days.

  • Assist in cleaning the storefront and putting up all gear on the storefront floor continuously throughout the day, and potentially re-stocking inventory in the store.

  • Maintain cleanliness of Customer Service office and workspaces. Including: taking out trash/recycling, cleaning/maintaining kitchen and coffee machines, and restocking merchandise left around workspaces. 

  • Stay up to date on current product offerings at Powder7 and new or incoming gear.
