Description du poste

At Shiftmove, customer retention is where empathy meets impact. Every conversation with a customer is a chance to listen, understand, and create value that lasts. Our Retention team plays a key role in turning challenges into opportunities, identifying why customers leave, addressing their concerns, and, whenever possible, rebuilding long-term partnerships.

As Shiftmove continues to grow across Europe, your primary mission will be combining the care of Customer Experience with the drive of Sales. You’ll use your empathy, communication, and negotiation skills to protect revenue, strengthen relationships, and shape how customers experience Shiftmove long after they sign their first contract.

Join us in creating meaningful conversations that drive real business results, one win-back at a time.

What You Will Do

• Contact customers based in France who have submitted termination requests to understand the reasons behind their decision
• Listen, empathise, and negotiate win-back opportunities by highlighting the value of our solution
• Collaborate with internal teams (ADV, Sales, Support, Product) to share key feedback and insights from churned customers
• Track and categorize churn reasons to help shape company's retention strategy
• Develop and refine your negotiation, communication, and customer psychology skills through real customer interactions
• Contribute to building better offboarding and win-back processes as the function evolves

In the near future, this role will evolve into a more strategic position, proactively engaging customers before contract renewal dates, showcasing the value they’ve gained, and helping them envision continued success with us.
