Hi, I’m Samantha Madison. I’m a customer-focused support specialist with 6+ years delivering high-quality remote support at Shopify, plus over a decade in customer relations and business management. I excel in multi-channel support, technical troubleshooting, and data-driven problem solving, and I’ve led initiatives across billing, AI-assisted service, and app integrations. I’m comfortable working in distributed, remote-first teams across time zones and thrive on clear communication and calm, effective issue resolution. I bring a strong blend of customer care, business operations, and product mindset—thanks to hands-on experience in small business leadership, marketing, and supplier relationships. I’m passionate about delivering positive customer outcomes while collaborating with cross-functional teams to improve processes and service quality.
