Customer Support Associate (Off-Hours Coverage)

<p dir="auto"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The Customer Support Associate (Off-Hours Coverage)  role exists to make sure Coast customers are never left without support — including evenings and weekends. You'll be the primary point of contact during off-hours, resolving customer inquiries, troubleshooting product issues, and delivering a high-quality experience across email, chat, and phone.</span></p><p dir="auto"></p><p dir="ltr"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Because ticket volume varies throughout the shift, this role also takes on meaningful project and operational work during quieter windows — from improving our help center content to supporting billing and internal operations.
