• Utilise speech analytics tools to uncover performance insights and inform business decisions.
• Manage workload effectively, ensuring SLAs and quality standards are consistently achieved.

• Strong background in contact centre operations or a customer‑facing role.
• Skilled in analysing data and presenting findings to senior stakeholders.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management abilities.
• Detail‑oriented with a proactive and organised approach to work.
• Able to work independently and as part of a collaborative team.
• Passion for customer service and a drive to continuously improve experiences.

• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Personal development opportunities and clear progression
• Friendly, supportive team culture with regular socials
