About the Role

Poshmark is the largest community marketplace for fashion, where anyone can buy, sell, and share their personal style. As a Community Associate, you provide front-line support to our growing community — today primarily over email, messenger, and social channels, and increasingly through live chat as we roll out this new real-time channel.

You'll triage and resolve time-sensitive inquiries about orders, accounts, shipping, and payments, and provide product education, all while maintaining a high bar for customer satisfaction. As live chat rolls out, you'll also take on real-time conversations: understanding intent and writing clearly under time pressure, making routing and escalation calls in the moment, and building up to handling multiple chats at once as you gain experience. The ideal Community Associate...

Understands user issues with empathy

Exercises strong problem-solving skills

Is patient in understanding and responding to our users

Is comfortable switching between async (email) and real-time (chat) modes of support as needed

What You'll Do

Email & General Support

Engage with Poshmark users via email, messenger, and/or social support

Respond to users in a timely, friendly, and professional manner

Demonstrate empathy through thoughtful and prompt resolutions for the community

Research, troubleshoot, and recommend solutions for open orders and account-related issues

Gather feedback and suggestions from the community

Strive to exceed volume and CSAT (customer satisfaction) goals

Help with other projects and administrative work as needed

Live Chat (as rolled out)

Respond to live chat conversations promptly and accurately - helping users with orders, shipping, payments, listings, and account questions in real time

Understand user intent and write clearly and concisely under time pressure; set expectations during research or hold time (e.g., “Give me one moment while I look into this”) so the customer is never left wondering what's happening

Apply the escalation framework to each conversation: i) resolve directly, ii) warm-hand-off to a specialized team or iii) log an offline case — capturing the right details and keeping the customer informed

De-escalate frustrated customers using active listening and ownership language, adapting your approach mid-conversation as needed

Navigate the chat platform, knowledge base, order/CRM history, and internal case tools quickly enough to find answers live, without stalling the conversation

Progress through a structured concurrency ramp: one chat during training, two after graduation, and up to three in normal production (more during peak sales/seasonal events), advancing only once quality and speed are consistently on target

Use approved macros and response templates as a starting point, not a script — personalize responses so the conversation still feels human
