Your mission is to provide leadership to the Customer Support Team establishing and maintaining high levels of quality, efficiency and other processes required for an exceptional level of customer support. The team is the primary point of contact for the Wise customers and forms a large part of the company’s profile. As such, all enquiries need to be acted upon with competence and professionalism.

It is the primary duty of the Customer Support Team Lead to ensure that expectations are clearly set and that members of the team are highly engaged, motivated, armed with all necessary equipment and software, have opportunities to contribute to tactics and strategy, and opportunities to learn and grow.

Here’s how you’ll be contributing to our Customer Support team:

• Maintain a high level of communications within the team internally and externally

• Developing and maintaining customer satisfaction measurement metrics

• Defining and implementing the procedures and policies to ensure that high-quality service is delivered to customers (both internal and external) and adherence to strict SLA’s

• You’re an exceptional communicator. Nothing falls through the cracks with your cross-team communication and listening skills, you’re a master presenter, and you’re calm and comfortable when either giving or receiving feedback

• You’re a team-builder. You’re not hidden in a corner office somewhere, but rather work among your teams - You are hands on! Developing your team, and ensuring that we’re delivering on the business needs by guaranteeing that our procedures and processes are continuously improved, simplified and aligned clearly at all levels.
