Do your bit by joining our Customer Service Delivery Team in Glasgow as a Customer and Operational Support Assistant.

You will be an excellent communicator, bridging the gap between our amazing team and our fantastic clients.
We're all about that fast-paced excitement, so if you enjoy fast paced environments, you're going to fit right in.
