Reporting directly to the Head of Operations, you will play a key role in leading a busy customer success team while remaining hands on in the day to day operation.

·Process customer orders, quotations and invoicing.
·Resolve customer issues quickly and professionally.
·Liaise with Warehouse and Supply Chain to ensure orders are delivered on time and in full.
·Identify opportunities to improve customer service and operational efficiency.

About You:

We're looking for someone who enjoys being part of the team and isn't afraid to roll their sleeves up.
You'll have previous experience leading a customer service team within a busy environment and be confident managing performance, coaching colleagues and making decisions under pressure.
Ideally you'll have experience within construction, or another technical product environment.

You'll Have
·Previous experience leading a customer service team.
·Experience managing KPIs and team performance.
·Strong leadership and coaching skills.
·Excellent communication and problem solving abilities.
·The ability to prioritise in a fast paced environment.
·A proactive and organised approach.
·Strong IT skills, including Microsoft Office and ERP or order management systems.
·A commercial mindset with a focus on delivering exceptional customer service.

What's on Offer
·Salary up to £40,000  
·Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 4:30pm
·25 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays
·Christmas shutdown from Christmas Eve until the first working day in January, days allocated out of your annual leave
