Your day-to-day:

Each day, you’ll be a lifesaver to customers speaking to them on an inbound call line to solve their technical and complex problems. It’ll be up to you to get to know their business, build rapport, and help them get back on track with their product. You’ll be a product expert, able to spot fixes and recommend additional Sage products to save them time and effort.

How people describe you:

You’re logical, resilient, and can get your point across in a non-assertive way. You enjoy storytelling, and you’re good at it too. Not only that, but you are excellent at listening and like giving your advice. The complexity of technology doesn’t intimidate you, in fact you seek ways to learn more about it. You bounce back after failures and setbacks, and like hearing about how you can improve.

On-the-job training:

You’ll embark in a 6-week classroom training plus receive ongoing coaching. You deserve to feel the satisfaction of speaking to customers with confidence, so we’ve put a lot into this training programme. It will equip you to embody our values – human, simplicity, trust, and bold – in every customer call.

You’ll work alongside people who are technical-minded and embrace the variety that each call brings. They’re supported by managers who care so they can keep caring for customers.
