About Us

Pomelo places the best offshore talent with top brands, startups, and agencies across the globe. We enable hard-working and ambitious talent to work remotely from their home countries, while gaining exposure into how the world’s top companies operate.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Customer Service & Community Engagement Specialist with amazing communication skills and customer empathy to join a new e-commerce/Shopify brand. Initially, you'll focus on social engagement - finding relevant conversations, building relationships, and making our brand feel human. As we scale, you'll shift to handling customer inquiries across all channels while keeping light community management duties. You'll build our entire CX infrastructure from scratch, including documentation, SOPs, and knowledge bases.

Beyond reactive support, you'll proactively reach out to customers, anticipate common issues, and handle escalations or PR situations with grace. You'll be our customers' voice internally - gathering feedback, spotting trends, and working with product, marketing, and fulfillment teams to improve the experience. This isn't a ticket-answering job. You'll shape how customers experience our brand, influence product decisions with customer insights, and grow into a leadership role as we scale
