Contact Centre Advisor (Customer Operations) in London

We're looking for detail-oriented, empathetic problem solvers to join our remote Customer Operations (COps) team.

At AerialBuz, we’ve built a new kind of marketplace. We are always here to help as every customer gets access to 24/7 customer support through a quick call, social media, emails and our app.

COps are the heart of AerialBuz

You'll be the first point of contact for any of our users who have questions, problems, feedback and compliments! COps are the face of AerialBuz and the main way our customers communicate with us.

We want to delight our customers in any way possible. Our mission is to make Drone Marketplace work for everyone, and while having a great app is part of that, we pride ourselves on providing world-class support. By solving customers’ problems, treating them fairly and being totally transparent, we believe we can make banking better.

Your working life and shift requirements

You will get paid £20,500 and a huge range of benefits (more details about these on our website here).

You’ll be working remotely on an ‘open availability’ contract basis, to make sure we're always here to help and allow 24/7 customer support through our calls, social media platforms, email or in-app chat. That means your shift pattern will change on a weekly basis.

To make sure we have enough cover on weekends, you'll work some other weekend days and get days off in the same working week. All of our full time COps are guaranteed 1 full weekend off each month.

You can read more about open availability at AerialBuz here.

You’ll know how to fix problems on the spot

Every person in COps has the power to solve problems quickly and with minimal fuss. We’ll give you all the tools and training you need so you know exactly how payments systems actually work, and you’ll listen to customers’ concerns with positivity, empathy and patience. Then you’ll fix whatever the problem is and stop it from happening again

You'll be the first point of contact for any of our users who have questions, problems, feedback and compliments!
