You’ll work directly with the Co-Founder and Strategy & Operations Associate to manage day-to-day customer operations, including inbound calls and emails, sales inquiries, shipping coordination, and post-sale follow-up. You’ll also coach a two-person customer service team, review their work, delegate daily priorities, and help ensure a consistently strong customer experience.
This is a high-autonomy, startup-like environment suited to someone who enjoys wearing multiple hats, solving problems, developing a small team, and taking initiative.

• Answer customer questions and complete required paperwork.
• Support customers throughout the sales process.
Post-Sale Support
• Coordinate shipping and delivery-related needs.
• Resolve delivery issues and help ensure a positive post-sale experience.

Required Experience & Skills
• Strong customer service and communication skills.
• Comfortable working remotely and independently.
• Comfortable spending up to half of the day on the phone.
• Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and resourceful.
• Strong ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Experience in sales, customer support, and managing a small team is preferred.
• Familiarity with Google Workspace and Microsoft Office is a plus.
• Familiarity with public safety training or firearms industry products is a plus but not required.
• No formal education or specific experience requirements.
What Makes You a Strong Fit
• You take ownership rather than waiting for instructions.
• You’re confident communicating with customers and handling different situations throughout the day.
• You enjoy coaching and developing a small team.
• You’re comfortable wearing multiple hats in a growing company.
• You’re resourceful and able to solve problems independently.
