Position Summary
A fast-growing global retail technology platform is expanding its after-hours support operations and is now hiring Remote Night Shift Chat Support Representatives. This role pays $25 to $35 per hour and is entirely remote—no commuting, no phone calls, and no prior experience required. The client is seeking individuals available during overnight hours who are self-motivated, fast typists, and comfortable handling multiple live conversations. If you’re looking for a night shift job you can do from home, with full training and no degree needed, this is your entry point into the remote work world.
About the Role
The client is an international digital commerce brand serving tens of thousands of customers each month. To ensure 24/7 service availability, they are onboarding new team members to work late night and early morning hours. As a Chat Support Representative, you’ll communicate with customers exclusively through live chat and email, resolving common questions about product orders, shipping, billing, and technical support. You’ll follow internal workflows, use macros for efficiency, and escalate complex cases to the appropriate department. The role is designed for those who prefer working during nighttime hours and want the stability of a consistent support schedule with room for advancement.
Key Responsibilities
Live Chat Interaction: Engage in fast-paced live chat conversations with customers in need of order support, subscription help, product clarification, or account troubleshooting—handling multiple concurrent chats.
Email Ticket Responses: Manage and resolve overnight email support tickets that don’t require live interaction. Respond clearly and professionally within set service-level expectations.
Internal System Navigation: Work within platforms like Zendesk or Gorgias to tag, update, and close support cases accurately, while maintaining detailed records.
Troubleshoot Order Issues: Investigate delayed shipments, misplaced orders, or customer-facing errors and provide actionable solutions within the first touchpoint.
Guide Product Returns & Replacements: Walk customers through the returns process and authorize replacements or refunds as allowed under policy.
Follow Support Macros and Templates: Use pre-approved messaging for efficiency while adding personalization to maintain customer satisfaction and brand voice.
Collaborate with Day Team: Leave clear notes for daytime agents and contribute to seamless support transitions by documenting open issues and escalations.
Review Internal Updates: Monitor late-breaking product, policy, or system announcements to stay current on client offerings and practices.
Contribute to Team Chat and Updates: Participate in overnight Slack discussions and report insights or trends that could improve workflows or reduce ticket volume.
Adhere to Security Protocols: Ensure privacy and security compliance when accessing customer records or processing account-related changes.
Achieve Performance Targets: Maintain productivity goals including first-response time, case closure rate, and customer satisfaction feedback.
Report Bugs and Trends: Submit unusual reports or recurring problems to technical teams to support ongoing platform improvements.
How Your Day Will Look
Night (Start of Shift)
Log in to the client’s support system and check for leftover open tickets from the previous shift. Review flagged items, urgent customer escalations, and any product updates. Begin answering live chat inquiries as customers across global time zones reach out for support.
Late Night
During peak late-night volume, you’ll handle simultaneous live chats while resolving email tickets in between. Typical conversations may include refund requests, address changes, and lost package inquiries. If system updates are happening, you may help customers navigate any temporary issues.
Early Morning Wrap-Up
As the shift nears its end, you’ll finish documentation, tag unresolved cases for the incoming team, and close out low-priority threads. You’ll summarize issues encountered during the shift and log handoff notes before ending your work session.

Detailed Skill-Building Tips for Success
Typing Speed and Clarity
Speed matters in live chat—practice daily with tools like Ratatype or Keybr. Prioritize accuracy first, then build your pace. Short, well-written messages outperform rushed and error-filled responses.
Mastering Product Knowledge
Use downtime to read internal help docs and product guides. Understanding how everything works makes you more confident, reduces mistakes, and speeds up response time.
Tone and Empathy via Chat
Your words are the only thing customers hear. Use phrases like “I completely understand” or “Thanks for your patience” to humanize your responses, especially late at night when customers are stressed.
Multitasking Efficiency
Open canned response libraries, CRM dashboards, and your browser side by side to handle multiple chats without slowing down. Use screen real estate wisely and bookmark frequently used tools.
Staying Calm Under Pressure
Late-night customers can be frustrated. Stay composed, use templated phrases to buy time, and remember your team is only a Slack message away if you need help.
Ongoing Learning and Feedback Loops
Even after training, you’ll have access to micro-courses, guides, and QA scorecards. Take time each week to review what went well and where you can improve.
Onboarding Process with the Client
Step 1: Resume Submission
Submit your resume via the application form. You'll answer a few questions about your preferred shift times and system setup.
Step 2: Initial Screening
If selected, you’ll participate in a 15-minute asynchronous interview—submitting written responses that simulate real chat scenarios.
Step 3: Skills Assessment
You’ll complete a quick typing test and a simulated live chat exercise to evaluate communication tone, clarity, and ability to handle customer scenarios.
Step 4: Paid Virtual Training
Successful candidates will undergo a 6-day paid training program held over Zoom and learning portals, covering tools, protocols, and soft skills.
Step 5: Live Practice Shifts
During your first week, you’ll shadow a senior agent and begin responding to low-risk tickets with supervision and immediate feedback.
Step 6: Shift Integration
After passing onboarding metrics, you’ll join your assigned schedule and gain access to all systems, support channels, and real-time chat queues.
