It’ll be up to you to get to know their business, build rapport, and help them get back on track with their product. You’ll be a product expert, able to spot fixes and recommend additional Sage products to save them time and effort. How people describe you: You’re logical, resilient, and can get your point across in a non-assertive way. You enjoy storytelling, and you’re good at it too. Not only that, but you are excellent at listening and like giving your advice. The complexity of technology doesn’t intimidate you, in fact you seek ways to learn more about it. You bounce back after failures and setbacks, and like hearing about how you can improve. On-the-job training: You’ll embark in a 6-week classroom training plus receive ongoing coaching. You deserve to feel the satisfaction of speaking to customers with confidence, so we’ve put a lot into this training programme. It will equip you to embody our values – human, simplicity, trust, and bold – in every customer call. Meet the team: They’re a top-rated contact centre in Cobalt Business Park. Not only that, the company as a whole was awarded #15 on the Financial Times’ Best Places to Work in the UK.

Colleagues are empowered to tap into Talent Marketplace, our internal platform for development opportunities and creating career goal roadmaps. 10 paid days for volunteering and learning: Through Sage Foundation, you can donate your skill-based support or manual labor to causes you care about 5 days per year. Another 5 days per year can be spent engaging in learning opportunities that interest you, because we care about your development at Sage. What to expect after you apply: Look for an email inviting you to take an online assessment. Yes, we know this is another step that takes time.
