We're expanding, and we're looking for a Customer Service Advisor to join us in the UK.

The Mission:

You'll be joining our scale up journey as a Customer Service Advisor, where you'll work closely with both the Collecting Cars and Watch Collecting businesses, providing excellent customer service locally and internationally, whilst helping us continue to shape and mature our support capabilities. With your prior experience in a customer facing role, you’ll have a focus on assisting our customers with their enquiries both pre and post auction, whilst playing a crucial role in identifying improvements in our processes and identifying sales opportunities with clients to maintain customer retention.

• Respond promptly and professionally to customer inquiries via email and phone, addressing a wide range of questions related to watch and car auctions.
• Cultivate and maintain strong relationships with both sellers and buyers, building trust and rapport to ensure positive auction experiences.
• Accurately record and track all customer interactions, case details, and relevant information within Salesforce.

• Contribute to process continuous improvements within the customer service team, identifying areas for increased efficiency and customer satisfaction.
• Collaborate with other departments, such as sales, tech, upload to provide a cohesive and comprehensive customer experience.
• Handle sensitive customer information with discretion and maintain confidentiality.
• Be an A player.

• You’re detail-oriented and able to catch issues early on
• You have a passion for great customer outcomes
• An interest in both Cars and Watches whilst not mandatory, is highly desirable
• Fluency in either Italian, German, Swedish, Dutch, French, Cantonese or Mandarin would be highly advantageous

The Pit Stop:

Parsons Green, London. You'll be predominantly based here, our London HQ. You'll need full UK working rights for this position.

The Fuel:

• 25 days holiday (plus an additional day each year after 2 years tenure).
• Private medical insurance for you and your family with Vitality.
• Company pension contribution.
• The opportunity to attend amazing automotive and watch events.
