Join Our MMission to Inspire Health & Wellness Globally!
At Heart Smart, we’ve been helping people worldwide since 2015 through online programs supporting heart health, type 2 diabetes, obesity-related chronic conditions, menopause, gut health, and more.
Our mission is simple yet powerful:
“We exist to inspire the world to eat, live, and move better.”
As we continue to grow, we’re looking for a highly empathetic, solutions-focused Conflict Resolution Specialist to help ensure our clients feel heard, supported, and valued—even when they are unhappy, frustrated, or considering leaving the program.
About the Role
As a Conflict Resolution Specialist, you will be responsible for managing client concerns, complaints, difficult conversations, and cancellation or resignation requests.
You will act as a calm and professional point of contact when clients experience challenges with their program or overall experience. Your role is to understand the underlying issue, de-escalate situations, identify appropriate solutions, and work toward positive outcomes for both the client and Heart Smart.
This role requires someone who can remain composed under pressure, communicate with empathy, and confidently navigate challenging conversations without becoming defensive or taking things personally.

- Identify opportunities to resolve concerns before a client decides to leave.
- Understand the client's goals and determine whether an alternative solution may better support their needs.

- Maintain a balance between client satisfaction and the commercial interests of the business.
Communication & Relationship Management
- Communicate confidently with clients across email, phone, video calls, and other communication channels.
- Maintain a calm, positive, and professional tone during difficult conversations.

- Follow established processes while using sound judgment when dealing with unique situations.
