About Home Coffee Solutions
Home Coffee Solutions (HCS) is one of Canada's largest and fastest-growing specialty coffee equipment and coffee and tea retailers. We run a busy e-commerce store and a showroom in Mississauga, and we ship to customers across the country.
Our customers range from first-time espresso buyers to seasoned home baristas. We want every one of them to leave with the right gear, the right beans, and the confidence to make a great cup. We're looking for a bilingual teammate who shares that passion and wants to represent third-wave specialty coffee.
The Role
As a Bilingual Customer Service & Sales Product Specialist, you'll be the friendly, knowledgeable voice of HCS in French and English. You'll guide customers through the whole journey, from choosing a machine to getting it set up and dialled in afterwards, by phone, email, live chat (Gorgias), and in person in our Mississauga showroom.
This is a sales role as much as a support role. You'll help people find the right product, and your recommendations will drive real results for the business.
What You'll Do
Help customers buy
- Recommend products and suggest the right accessories, beans, and upgrades, in French and English
- Present and demonstrate machines to customers and small groups in the showroom
- Guide customers through our Shopify store,
orders, and checkout questions
- Work toward individual and team sales and service targets
Support them after the sale
- Answer calls, emails, and live chats in Gorgias quickly and professionally
- Give clear help on product questions, order status, returns, warranty, and brewing tips
- Provide technical support for manual, semi-automatic, and automatic machines
- Process refunds, exchanges, and returns according to company policy
- Keep accurate records of every interaction and follow up until the issue is resolved
- Work with our warehouse, logistics, and service teams, and escalate complex issues to the right person
Help us get better
- Create and update Gorgias macros, FAQs, and self-service resources
- Collect customer feedback and flag recurring issues to management
- Stay current on product knowledge, new releases, and coffee trends
What You Bring
- Excellent spoken and written French and English (required)
- 2+ years in customer service, ideally in eCommerce or retail, with a record of resolving customer issues well
- Comfort with sales conversations, and motivation to hit sales targets as well as service metrics
- Experience with a help desk platform such as Gorgias, Zendesk, or Freshdesk
- Strong problem-solving, active listening, and attention to detail
- Ease handling a high volume of phone and digital inquiries, and juggling several tasks at once
- Comfort with customer support tools and systems
- Ability to work independently and as part of a small, collaborative team
- A positive attitude and a commitment to great customer experiences

- Gorgias experience: you already know the platform we work in every day
