About You

You are:

  • Friendly, patient, and organized when talking on the phone.
  • Comfortable answering calls, scheduling appointments, and taking payments over the phone.
  • Tech-savvy enough to use a computer, headset, and scheduling tools.

About Us

We’re the team behind Smith.ai, an AI‑powered virtual receptionist platform that helps businesses answer calls 24/7. Our agents are the human side of that experience: the warm, professional voice that turns callers into happy clients.

About the Role: Remote Phone Receptionist

  • Work from home on your own computer and USB headset.
  • Flexible scheduling. You set your availability within our core hours (ideally clustered around 10am–4pm PT, Mon–Fri).
  • Minimum 25 hours/week (up to 40), with at least 5 hours every Monday.
  • Split shifts are welcome (great if you’ve got school drop‑offs, workouts, or side gigs).
  • Compensation:
    • $15/hr for English only.
    • $16/hr for English+Spanish.

Responsibilities

What you’ll do:

  • Answer incoming calls and transfer them to the right person or department.
  • Schedule appointments.
  • Help take payments.
  • Provide clear, friendly support with a smile in your voice.

Why You'll Love This Role

You’ll love this if you:

  • Want real human connection behind a phone, not a robotic script.
  • Want flexible hours that fit your life, not the other way around.
  • Like feeling part of a supportive, remote team that values professionalism and kindness.
  • Want to work from home.

Requirements

What you’ll need:

  • Legal permission to work in the U.S. and pass a background check.
  • A computer (No Chromebooks) with 8GB RAM or higher + USB headset with mic.
  • Reliable internet and power (no spotty coworking‑space Wi‑Fi).
  • A quiet, distraction‑free workspace during your shifts.
  • A growth mindset: you’re open to feedback, learning new tools, and improving your phone presence.
  • Confidence presenting professionalism as a representative for the business.

Bonus Points

Bonus points if you have:

  • Previous experience in customer service, call centers, or receptionist roles.
  • Experience with scheduling tools (Calendly, Outlook, Google Calendar, etc.).
  • Comfort with basic payment talking points (card on file, secure links, etc.).
