Do you have experience managing complaints directly from customers in a B2C start-up?
Looking for a new challenge where you can see the real impact of your efforts and be part of something big?

We founded Fixter to bring car maintenance into the 21st century. Because we believe booking an MOT in this day and age should be as simple as booking a taxi, or ordering a takeaway. Simple, streamlined and stress-free. And completely on demand.
Bringing together car industry specialists and state-of-the-art digital experts, Fixter provides a complete end-to-end service with world-class customer experience, designed to liberate car owners from the stress of booking a high street garage service.

We have recently joined forces with Renault Group to continue our UK expansion and launch our service in France and the rest of the EU.
This is an incredible opportunity for someone who is looking to make a huge impact, within a start-up that aims to simplify the life of all car owners across the UK and EU.
As part of our Customer Support team, you will manage any escalated queries from our customers regarding our service and will liaise with our garage partners to provide a solution – monitoring the customers’ complaint from start to finish to ensure it is resolved in a timely manner.

- Assisting the Customer Service team in handling general customer queries (aside from complaints) where necessary – by managing incoming calls, emails and live chat requests
The ideal candidate will:
