We’re looking for someone who enjoys working with people and is comfortable operating in a busy, target-driven and customer-focused environment.

You’ll ideally bring:
- Previous experience in customer service, contact centre, sales or another customer-facing environment.
- Confident and professional communication skills, particularly over the telephone.
- A genuine customer-first approach and the ability to build positive, long-term relationships.
- A proactive approach to resolving queries, taking ownership of customer issues and finding solutions.
- A strong commercial mindset, with the confidence to identify sales opportunities, up-sell and cross-sell relevant products and services.
- A proven motivation to work towards targets and KPIs, with a drive to meet and exceed individual and team goals.
