Customer Relations Leader

Hello! We’re Teya. Teya is a payment and software service provider, headquartered in London serving small, local businesses across Europe. Founded in 2019, we build easy to use, integrated tools that enable our members to accept payments and boost business performance.

At Teya we believe small, local businesses are the lifeblood of our communities. We’re here because we don’t believe there’s a level playing field that gives small businesses with a fighting chance against the giants of the high street. We’re here because we see banks and legacy service providers making things harder for them. We don’t think the best technology or the best service should be reserved for those with the biggest headquarters. We’re here to fight for a future where small, local businesses can thrive, and to commit the same dedication they offer all of us.

Become a part of our story. We’re looking for exceptional talent to join our mission. We offer a chance to create impact in a high-energy and connected culture, while benefiting from continuous learning opportunities, a supportive community which is proud to serve our mission, and comprehensive benefits.

What will you be doing? We are seeking a dedicated and hands-on Customer Relations Leader to join our passionate CR team. In this role, you’ll lead a team of Customer Relations Agents, ensuring their performance, quality of support, and training are aligned with Teya’s mission to empower small and medium-sized businesses. You’ll balance team management with day-to-day operations, driving excellence through strong routines, clear metrics, and high-quality interactions. As a Customer Relations Leader, you are the team’s go-to person for guidance, support, and communication, and you play a crucial role in identifying and proposing improvements to internal processes that make agents’ work more effective and merchants’ experiences more seamless.

To Do That, We’re Looking For Someone To:

• Lead a team of Customer Relations Agents, monitoring key performance metrics and ensuring routines are followed to maintain high-quality service.
• Coach and mentor team members by providing feedback, on-the-job support, and structured training sessions that focus on continuous development.
• Own and coordinate communications to the team, making sure everyone is informed and aligned with changes, updates, or priorities.
• Monitor quality standards of merchant interactions, ensuring agents consistently deliver excellent service and follow internal guidelines.
• Proactively identify areas for improvement in team routines, tools, or processes, and propose actionable solutions to drive efficiency and effectiveness.
• Support the day-to-day operations by managing team schedules, resolving escalations, and jumping into operational tasks when needed.
• Foster a positive and collaborative environment where team members are motivated, supported, and committed to our mission.

What are we looking for? You’ll be expected to lead by example, balance execution with management, and always keep the customer experience at the heart of your decisions. To succeed in this role, we’re looking for someone with:

• Experience in customer support or operations within a fast-paced environment, ideally in a leadership or coordination role.
• A track record of coaching and developing team members, including delivering training and feedback that drives individual performance.
• Strong operational mindset – able to manage schedules, track metrics, and ensure routines are followed to keep performance on track.
• Excellent communication skills, both for internal coordination and team-wide updates.
• A problem-solving mentality, with the ability to quickly identify issues and suggest solutions that improve workflows and agent experiences.
• High attention to detail, organisational skills, and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a dynamic setting.
• A collaborative, people-first attitude and a desire to build a strong, supportive team culture.

The Perks:

• Physical and mental health support through our partnership with GymPass giving free access to over 1,500 gyms in the UK, 1-1 therapy, meditation sessions, digital fitness and nutrition apps.
