• Talking to customers that might be in financial difficulty.

• Be passionate about customers and always seek to provide a first class service.
• A fast learner that has meticulous attention to detail.
• Fluid and comfortable in a fast paced environment where you might be pulled in different directions.

• Helpful and patient (it’s a job with a thousand questions!)
• Strong emotional resilience and empathy to support customers through challenging conversations at pace
• A self starter that can use their own initiative to problem solve and make sound decisions.

Why else you'll love it here 💚:

•  💰 Wondering what the salary for this role is? Just ask us! On a call with one of our recruiters it's something we always cover as we genuinely want to match your experience with the correct salary. The reason why we don't advertise is because we honestly have a degree of flexibility and would never want salary to be a reason why someone doesn't apply to Octopus - what's more important to us is finding the right octofit!
