Actively drive the sale — turn pre-sales conversations into completed purchases by guiding customers to the right build and recommending compatible add-ons, improving conversion, attach rate, and average order value .

Support the onsite-troubleshooting pilot as needed, applying phone/chat diagnostic skills in an in-person context as this capability is tested. Log customer interactions, resolutions, and recurring issues accurately to support quality tracking and continuous improvement. Own each customer's issue end to end — set clear expectations, follow up, and make sure the customer never has to chase a resolution. Meet customer service quality and satisfaction (CSAT) targets and follow CS service levels, policies, and SOPs. Required Experience in a customer-facing technical support, PC retail, or computer building/repair environment. Working knowledge of PC hardware components (GPUs, CPUs, motherboards, memory, storage, power supplies) and common Windows OS troubleshooting.

Comfortable acting as a go-to technical resource for frontline agents and peers. Familiarity with vendor certification programs for PC hardware or components.
