As our Head of Customer Service you'll be responsible for our entire support function across all of PC Group's brands. This means that you will manage the processes, the people and the quality of how our customers receive support. PC Group prides itself on delivering the highest quality support to all customers - check out our TrustPilot page and Google Review page to see for yourself!
At PC Group, managers & leaders have to strike the right balance between being at times, hands-on and at others, strategic. The phones will be ringing, the emails will be pinging and the chats will be dinging - it is your job to ensure calm, control and quality throughout.
You'll have a range of people, systems and processes at your disposal and working closely with our Head of Operations. You'll seek to refine and improve all aspects of the company's support function as we drive for growth at the highest level.
On a typical day, you and your team will interact with customers through phone, email, and live chat to deliver high-quality service. PC Group has made a point of market differentiation through the provision of excellent customer support. With that in mind, throughout the weeks and months, you will step out of the operations to focus on the people management & process improvement side of your role.
On the people side, this means being a genuine, hands-on leader, not just managing performance from a distance, but coaching your team through real situations. Whether that's debriefing a complex escalation, helping a newer team member build their confidence, or spotting that someone has a particular strength worth developing, you'll be actively shaping how the team grows. You'll run quality checks, share learnings from customer feedback, and foster the kind of collaborative culture where people feel supported to do their best work. When performance concerns arise, you'll handle them constructively and in partnership with the Head of Operations, always with development, not just accountability in mind.
On the process side, you'll be the person asking "why does this keep happening?" when recurring issues surface, and then doing something about it. That might mean reviewing an end-to-end workflow that's creating friction, updating documentation to reflect a regulatory change, or working cross-functionally with the Compliance, Technology, or Commercial teams to remove a blocker that's affecting service quality. You'll keep a close eye on performance trends and service data, turning what you see into clear recommendations and tangible improvements and making sure those changes actually stick once implemented.
