Job description

We're Capital on Tap

Capital on Tap started because small businesses were underserved. Big banks were slow, their products weren't fit for purpose, and small business owners often couldn't access what they needed. We set out to fix that.

Today we're a financial platform - not just a credit card company. We offer a best-in-class business credit card, SME-focused spend management platform, a savings product that hit £1 billion in funds within its first year, and a growing suite of tools and financial products that make running a small business easier.

1,000+ employees, £20bn in annual card spend, 200,000+ customers, 17,000+ Trustpilot reviews averaging 4.7 stars, and we're profitable. We've done a pretty good job so far, but we're just getting started!

Cardiff | Remote with flexibility to be in office when required.

Customer Service

We're not just another contact centre - we're the team small business owners rely on every day. You'll have the space to solve problems creatively, make confident decisions, and see the real impact of your work.

As a Team Leader, your role is to drive performance, engagement, and development within your team while creating a supportive and accountable culture. Your success will be reflected in your team's performance, satisfaction, and wellbeing.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead a team of around 10 agents to deliver exceptional customer and business outcomes.
• Develop team capability through 1:1s, coaching, huddles, and team meetings.
• Support the Customer Service Manager in delivering positive departmental improvements.
• Build strong relationships with internal stakeholders.
• Act as an escalation point for team support, particularly during out-of-hours shifts.
• Remove barriers preventing agents from delivering excellent service.
• Just Pilot: We never settle for "good enough". We pilot new ideas fast, ask questions to figure it out, and scale quickly.
• Why Not Today? Fast is as slow as we go - speed and simplicity gives us a competitive advantage.
• Be a Buddy: We tap in from day one to help the team, we do the right thing even if it's hard.
• Owners and Dates: We don't chase people. If you own a task and agree to a date, the expectation is that it gets done.
• Feedback: We want our employees to flourish, so we regularly provide direct and constructive feedback.
• Natural leadership ability with resilience to manage a dynamic out-of-hours team.
• Contact centre experience (financial services experience is a bonus).
• Passion for coaching and developing others with proven coaching success.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to identify process improvements.
• Comfortable analysing and using basic data to support decisions.

• Track record of delivering strong results (shift or unsociable hours experience is a plus).
