• Coordinate with property managers, applicants, and third-party providers to keep requests moving forward.
• Accurately document all interactions and actions in the CRM and internal systems.
• Follow established workflows, escalation protocols, and compliance requirements.
• Support general administrative and office-related tasks as needed.

Required Skills and Knowledge

• Ability to remain composed and professional during difficult or high-pressure conversations.
• Basic understanding of customer service principles, including active listening and issue resolution.
• High attention to detail and ability to follow documented procedures consistently.
• Comfort working with multiple software systems, including CRM platforms (training provided).
• Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple requests simultaneously.
• Ability to maintain confidentiality and handle sensitive information appropriately.

Preferred Qualifications

• Previous experience in customer service, call center support, administrative support, property management, healthcare administration, or service-based roles.
• Experience handling escalations, complaints, or emotionally charged interactions.
• Familiarity with regulated or compliance-driven environments is a plus but not required.

Work Environment

• In-office position based in downtown Boise.
• Business casual dress code.
• Collaborative, fast-paced office environment.

Compensation and Benefits

• Hourly rate: starting at $22 per hour, based on experience.
• 21 days of Paid Time Off (PTO) annually.
