About the role:
Are you a customer-focused appointment setter and want to work at one of Seattle’s most successful startups? OfferUp is seeking an appointment setter who is passionate about customer service.
In this role, you will communicate with customers through live chat to answer questions, set appointments, and help car shoppers with their purchasing experience. You will function at the front line of customer service and act as a liaison between the customer and dealership.
What we love about this role:

You’ll thrive in this role if you have: (All OfferUp employees are required to receive full Covid-19 vaccinations, per CDC guidelines. OfferUp will review accommodation requests due to a medical reason, or because of a sincerely held religious belief.)
- Customer service – since chat agents work directly with customers to solve end-user issues and answer questions, it’s essential that they have strong customer service skills
- Computer literacy – must be able to easily operate a computer, especially in terms of checking and responding to emails as well as utilizing live chat services and software. Familiarity with G-Suite and Salesforce is preferred
- Problem-solving skills – the ability to solve problems is just as integral to a chat agent’s work as solid communication skills. When presented with a problem, chat agents must be able to find a solution calmly and efficiently, even if the customer is impatient or disgruntled
- Organization skills – Chat agents should have strong organizational skills and be able to effectively sort large amounts of information. Chats will be coming in for different locations all at the same time, so being able to handle the traffic will require an organized system.
- Good attitude – though it may go without saying, it’s worth noting that the most successful chat agents address customers in an upbeat and positive manner. Even when facing complex problems or difficult questions, it’s important that chat agents maintain a good attitude.
Helpful, but not required:
- Automotive Experience
- You speak an additional language
