About the Role
At Swizzonic, we help our customers make the most of their online presence. As a First Level Support (FLS) Agent, you will be one of the main points of contact for our customers, helping them with their questions about domains, email, hosting and website solutions.
We are looking for someone who enjoys helping others, has a good technical understanding and likes working as part of a team. You will support our customers by phone, chat and tickets, helping them find solutions and making sure they receive the assistance they need.

We believe in taking responsibility, sharing knowledge and helping each other, while giving everyone the opportunity to work independently and develop their skills.
Responsibilities:
Customer Service & Support
Build a relationship of trust with every customer, representing the values of Swizzonic.
Provide first-level support for domains, DNS, email, hosting, dedicated and virtual servers, and website creation tools.

Investigate issues, identify possible causes and find solutions using your knowledge and the resources available.
Explain procedures and solutions in a clear and understandable way.
Understand customer needs and recommend suitable products or services when appropriate.
Case Management
Take responsibility for your assigned tickets and customer inquiries, ensuring they are handled correctly and followed up on in a timely manner.
Organize and prioritize your work according to customer needs, urgency and internal guidelines.
Keep customers informed about the progress of their cases and the next steps.
Refer issues that cannot be resolved at first level to the Second Level Support team, ensuring all relevant information and steps already taken are clearly documented.

Share knowledge, solutions and experiences with the team so that everyone can learn and improve together.
Ask for help when needed and be willing to support your colleagues when they need assistance.

A logical approach to solving problems and the ability to use available resources to find answers independently.
Confidence in using digital tools, ticketing systems and internal documentation.
A customer-oriented and commercial mindset, with the ability to understand customer needs and recommend suitable solutions.
Basic knowledge of domains, DNS, email services, web hosting and website management would be an advantage, but it is not essential, as training will be provided.
