About the Role

In short: You’re part of the team that keeps the Everyday Holiday feeling going long after checkout, helping customers feel looked after, heard, and glad they chose Zimi.

In more detail: As our Customer Service Associate, you’ll support our Customer Service Lead, in delivering warm, efficient service across email, live chat, and social DMs. You’ll handle day-to-day enquiries - order updates, returns, exchanges, sizing questions- with the care and attention every Mister Zimi customer deserves.

This is a hands-on support role, working to keep the inbox moving, customers happy, and the small stuff from becoming big problems. The Customer Service Lead owns the strategy, systems, and reporting side of CS; your focus is the customer in front of you, done consistently and well.

We’re flexible on hours: this role can be shaped as casual, part-time, or full-time depending on the right person and what suits your availability.
