We’re particularly interested in people who have:

- Strong knowledge of outbound sales, dialler strategy and contact centre technology.
- Experience using CRM, telephony, MI and performance data to drive decisions.
- A strong coaching and development mindset.
- Experience building or improving QA and performance frameworks.
- A good understanding of GDPR, PECR and customer consent .
- The confidence to be visible, hands-on and close to the operation .
- A genuine passion for continuous improvement and finding smarter ways of working.
Experience with AI/speech analytics, HubSpot or similar CRM platforms and multi-channel customer contact would be advantageous.
Why this role?
