Job description

London, UK

Every employee at OpenTable has a tangible impact on what we do and how we do it. You’ll also be part of a global team that includes our sister brand, KAYAK and its portfolio of global metasearch brands. Hospitality is all about taking care of others, and it defines our culture.

OpenTable is growing quickly so come join us and participate in the excitement! The most important thing you can bring to this role is a real passion for helping people. While there is some technical nature to the role, if you have an interest in connecting to people and the skills for logical thinking, we can teach you the rest. If you come with some computer networking or technical knowledge, even better.

The goal is not to get the customer off the phone as fast as possible (unless that’s what the customer wants). We expect you to go out of your way to not only fix the problem, but have the customer finish the conversation with a smile and with restored faith in OpenTable. Our global customer base is diverse so you’ll need to be able to adapt to their various styles accordingly.

• You start every single day with energy and enthusiasm (even if it takes a few cups of coffee to get there)
• You have the ability to know what’s right for the customers and our company, and will lobby to ensure both needs are met - even if it means digging deep to find creative solutions
• You’re the one your family and friends call when their electronics are acting up, or when they need help getting new devices set up
• Value your integrity, and respect the trust our customers place in OpenTable’s products/ brands and would never lie to our clients just to make them happy
• You enjoy the flexibility and challenges that come with a script free environment
