Job description

The King Difference

This is not just a customer service role where you follow a script and close a ticket.

This is a solutions-focused role where you own warranty and service cases end to end — navigating product issues, repairs and service challenges with a creative mindset and genuine accountability.

You will use AI-enabled tools to work smarter, communicate transparently with customers throughout their journey, and deliver resolutions that reflect the premium King Living standard.

You will work closely with Customer Service, Warranty, Delivery and internal teams to route issues to the right place and follow through to resolution — and you will report back the themes and trends you see every day to help King Living get better at the things that matter most to customers.

If you are a customer-first professional with strong problem-solving instincts and a genuine drive to make things right — this is the role for you.

What You Will Own

Warranty Resolution & Case Ownership

Own post-sale warranty and service enquiries from start to finish — troubleshooting concerns with a creative, solutions-focused mindset that balances process with a great customer experience.

Customer Communication & Coordination

Maintain transparent, timely communication throughout every case — managing expectations, setting service windows and coordinating internally to keep resolutions on track.

AI-Driven Support

Apply AI tools and automations to improve accuracy, turnaround and customer messaging — identifying opportunities to improve first-contact resolution.

Escalation & Operational Support

Identify high-risk or complex issues and elevate appropriately — maintaining strong product knowledge to advise customers accurately on care, materials and coverage.

Process & Improvement

Ensure resolutions align with quality standards and contribute to process improvements and knowledge base articles that make the team better over time.

Who You Are

You will likely come from a customer service, warranty or after-sales support role — ideally within furniture, retail or a service-based industry. What matters most is your empathy, your ownership mindset, and your commitment to resolving every case with care and speed.

You are a solutions-focused customer service professional who takes genuine pride in delivering great outcomes for customers.

• Proven background in customer service, preferably in furniture, retail or service-based industries
• Strong conflict resolution, de-escalation and communication skills
• Familiarity with CRM platforms — Salesforce Customer 360 experience is an advantage
• Understanding of warranties, consumer guarantees and product fault assessment
• Comfortable using digital tools, AI-enabled systems and knowledge bases
• Problem-solving mindset with a genuine focus on customer satisfaction
• Strong product knowledge — or the curiosity and drive to build it quickly
