  • Resolve formal complaints and draft replies for the ombud when needed.
  • Give one-on-one feedback with a clear action and a follow-up date.
  • Take escalated calls that agents cannot resolve.

What you need

  • At least 2 years as an agent and 1 year coaching or supervising
  • Know your way around contact centre metrics
  • Strong Excel: pivot tables, VLOOKUP and simple charts
  • Flexible for shift cover across the week
  • Matric, with a relevant diploma an advantage
  • Written English good enough for client reports

Nice if you have
