Company Description

Hello! We're Teya.

Teya is a payment and software service provider, headquartered in London serving small, local businesses across Europe. Founded in 2019, we build easy to use, integrated tools that enable our members to accept payments and boost business performance.

At Teya we believe small, local businesses are the lifeblood of our communities.

We’re here because we don’t believe there’s a level playing field that gives small businesses with a fighting chance against the giants of the high street.

We’re here because we see banks and legacy service providers making things harder for them. We don’t think the best technology or the best service should be reserved for those with the biggest headquarters.

We’re here to fight for a future where small, local businesses can thrive, and to commit the same dedication they offer all of us.

Become a part of our story.

We’re looking for exceptional talent to join our mission. We offer a chance to create impact in a high-energy and connected culture, while benefiting from continuous learning opportunities, a supportive community which is proud to serve our mission, and comprehensive benefits.

As a Customer Relations Leader, you are the team’s go-to person for guidance, support, and communication, and you play a crucial role in identifying and proposing improvements to internal processes that make agents’ work more effective and merchants’ experiences more seamless.

To Do That, We’re Looking For Someone To

• Lead a team of Customer Relations Agents, monitoring key performance metrics and ensuring routines are followed to maintain high-quality service.
• Coach and mentor team members by providing feedback, on-the-job support, and structured training sessions that focus on continuous development.
• Own and coordinate communications to the team, making sure everyone is informed and aligned with changes, updates, or priorities.
• Monitor quality standards of merchant interactions, ensuring agents consistently deliver excellent service and follow internal guidelines.
• Proactively identify areas for improvement in team routines, tools, or processes, and propose actionable solutions to drive efficiency and effectiveness.
• Support the day-to-day operations by managing team schedules, resolving escalations, and jumping into operational tasks when needed.
• Foster a positive and collaborative environment where team members are motivated, supported, and committed to our mission.
