• Helping each member of your team with their personal and professional development, listening, guiding them through hard times and celebrating their successes.

What will you be doing day-to-day?

• Regularly reviewing the quality and compliance of your team’s customer interactions to identify areas of potential improvement, both individually and structurally
• Supporting your team to collect on customer accounts in arrears ensuring good outcomes for both the customer and the business.
• Motivating your squad – we’re changing fast and need to make sure COps stay engaged during challenging periods of demand.
• You will also the be point of contact for team member escalations, so need to be comfortable taking and making phone calls
• Ensuring the secure storage and maintenance of sensitive personal data and performance related documents for reports
• Ensuring that all documents containing personal data relating to your squad members, including performance and wellbeing documents, are securely stored and well maintained
• Aggregating the feedback from your Squad into Borrowing and operational leadership to ensure we continue to improve on our processes and tooling.
