Description
A career without limits
As the nation’s flag carrier, we take great pride in connecting Britain with the world and the world with Britain.
It’s something we’ve been doing for over 100 years, ever since we launched the world’s first international scheduled air service between London and Paris.
This originality has been in our blood since day one. It’s the spirit we share with the people that fly with us, our partners, and our colleagues.
So, whether you are a reassuring voice on the end of a phone, a smile at the door, under a wing keeping the turbines spinning or landing us gently in far-flung places, a job at British Airways is yours to make.
We know great things can happen when you’re inspired to think big and bring your ambition to work every day, which is why, at British Airways the sky is never the limit.
The Role
Every day, our Customer Care team supports our customers to have the best possible journey with British Airways and our partners. From helping with bookings, finding that perfect holiday, supporting customers with additional needs or finding solutions when things change, our global teams are there to care.
And, as part of our transformational £7bn investment in our customer experience, we’re upgrading our customer care proposition, technology and estates to deliver new levels of care for our customers.
Join British Airways as a Senior Manager - Contact Centre, where you’ll take on a significant leadership role at the heart of our Customer Care operation. You’ll be responsible for leading a large, multi-channel contact centre of up to 500 colleagues, driving performance, delivering commercial outcomes and developing leadership capability across the site. This is an opportunity to make a visible impact, influence how we serve our customers and play a key role in the future of our contact centre operation.
