Our People are not Perfect, Traditional, Complacent or Cautious

This role sits within a structured, SLA-driven Customer Support Hub delivering multi-channel service and operational execution across phone, chat, email, and back-office workflows.

This is not a script-based or volume contact centre role. You are expected to understand policy, apply judgement, and manage complex customer interactions with composure and clarity.

You will own customer cases across channels while maintaining full utilisation through structured administrative execution during non-live periods. Performance is measured across quality, SLA adherence, documentation accuracy, and operational productivity.

Only candidates with demonstrated excellence in multi-channel support environments will be considered.

Key Responsibilities

• Multi-Channel Customer Ownership: Manage inbound phone, live chat, and email inquiries end-to-end, applying policy confidently and explaining decisions clearly without relying on scripts.

• Complex Case Handling: Maintain control of complex or emotionally charged conversations, ensuring high service quality across all communication channels.

• Hybrid Back-Office Operations: Process claims administration, triage, and manual case filing while maintaining audit-ready documentation in ticketing and associated systems.

• Operational Excellence: Meet or exceed SLAs, QA benchmarks, and productivity targets with high case accuracy and minimal rework.

• Compliance & Continuous Improvement: Follow SOPs and regulatory standards, exercise sound judgment on resolution vs. escalation, and proactively flag process gaps or compliance risks.

• 3+ years experience in a multi-channel customer support environment with measurable SLA targets

• Native or professional fluency in German (C1/C2 level) with exceptional written and verbal communication skills 

• Demonstrated experience handling complex or sensitive cases independently

• Proven ability to switch between phone, chat, email, and administrative tasks without quality loss

• Strong written communication and documentation capability

• Experience operating within regulated, compliance-driven, or policy-based environments

Candidates who rely heavily on scripts, struggle with structured written communication, or require close supervision in policy interpretation will not proceed.

Highly regarded:

• Experience in insurance, fintech, travel, or regulated environments

• Familiarity with Zendesk or similar case management tools

• Exposure to SLA-driven operational environments

• Additional language proficiency beyond English is highly regarded and may be utilised to support regional customer demand.

• Clear and controlled verbal communication

• Strong written clarity and structured documentation

• Attention to detail

• Operational discipline

• Time management and workload prioritisation

• Emotional composure under pressure

• Accountability and reliability

• Consistent SLA compliance across all channels

• High QA performance with minimal corrective feedback
