Are you passionate about delivering exceptional customer service and helping people overcome technical challenges? Do you enjoy problem-solving and making a real difference in customers' lives?
If so, we'd love to hear from you!
As a Customer Champion, you'll be the first point of contact for our Retail Consumer customers, providing both customer support and technical support across multiple contact channels. You'll deliver a warm, friendly, and high-quality service, helping customers with everything from account queries and billing questions to broadband troubleshooting and technical issues. You'll also guide customers towards self-service solutions where appropriate, ensuring they feel supported every step of the way.
Is this role right for you?
Customer and technical support can be incredibly rewarding, but they can also be fast-paced and challenging at times. Roles like this require resilience, adaptability, strong problem-solving skills, and the ability to communicate clearly with customers of all technical abilities. Before applying, take a moment to reflect: do you thrive in high-pressure situations, enjoy investigating and resolving issues, and genuinely care about helping people, even when it's tough? If so, we'd love to hear from you.
