Service Management Agent

Blue Arrow is looking for individuals to work with BT - one of the UK’s most well-known and successful digital and telecoms companies. As a highly reputable organisation, BT prides itself on standing out from the competition through providing the very best levels of service. If you too are service driven, we are keen to hear from you.

Whilst delivering outstanding customer service, you will be supporting BT’s customers with queries to resolve any issues and develop the overall service relationship.

Communicating via both telephone and email, you will need to be friendly, composed and keen to solve problems with the ultimate goal of helping others. Good listening skills are imperative, as is open mindedness and lots of empathy.

You will act as a point of escalation for customers therefore the capacity to remain calm under pressure and put people at ease is essential. You should also always be able to demonstrate resilience and positivity, and be willing to take ownership for resolving customer issues.

Central to the Service Management Agent role is the ongoing upholding and improvement of BT’s Net Promoter Scores (NPS). Working with internal stakeholders, you will also be accountable for ensuring all contractual Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are met.

You will further be responsible for implementing action plans that enhance and improve BT’s service offerings, so strong technology skills, the will to learn new systems and a great understanding of customer care processes are all desirable. You will need to carry out root cause analysis and be able to identify suitable corrective actions before implementing measures and processes that resolve those specific issues.

In addition to improving BT’s processes, you must be committed to using all tools available for self-development as well. BT will provide opportunities in the form of a learning and development zone, and peer and management support to ensure you are able to continuously expand your own expertise, and in turn, the company’s service levels.

The ideal candidate will be comfortable with working in a fast-paced office environment and with a high number of customers. You will be a practiced and confident communicator, able to connect well with others - both internal and external contacts. The ability to speak clearly and write well are essential qualities for this position in respect of:

• Liaising with customers both on the phone and email

• Recording interactions on BT’s central CRM system

• Developing and sharing improvement plans internally

In summary, the most successful applicants will be those motivated to be the best and provide the best possible customer experience.

Prior customer care experience is essential for the Service Management Agent role but need not be limited to the digital or telecoms industry.
