At M&S, our customers contact us when something matters to them. As a Customer Resolution Advisor, you'll step in when a query or complaint has already been escalated and needs careful investigation, clear ownership and a thoughtful response. You’ll spend a significant amount of your time speaking with customers on the phone, understanding concerns, gathering information and helping to reach the right outcome.
You’ll bring together information from customers, stores, suppliers and wider business teams to understand what has happened and help reach the right outcome. This is a high-volume, fast-paced role where no two cases are the same. It will suit someone who enjoys problem solving, writing clear customer responses and staying calm when conversations are sensitive or complex.
If you’re looking for a quiet role with simple, scripted enquiries, this probably won’t be the right fit. But if you’re resilient, curious and motivated by doing the right thing for customers, we’d love to hear from you.
Due to high interest, this role may close earlier than advertised. We recommend applying as soon as possible.

- Keeping your promise to the customer every time, with a goal of first-time resolution. Responding to customer queries through different channels such as telephone, e-mail and web chat
- Identifying potentially brand damaging situations and ensuring that relevant departments/individuals are engaged and consulted until issues are resolved.
