• Excellent communicator: You’re clear, calm, and capable - whether handling a tricky customer or coaching an agent.
• Organised and deadline-driven: You know how to prioritise, multi-task, and stay on top of things without reminders.
• Collaborative: You work well with other departments to get things done.
• Solutions-focused: You see problems as puzzles, not roadblocks - and you bring the team along with you when solving them.You identify gaps, take initiative, and get things done.
• Professional, positive, and passionate about delivering top-notch service - every time.
