The opportunity

You will manage the end-to-end resolution process for complex and escalated issues, complaints, and disputes.

You will have the ability to work on-call after hours for 1 week every 5-6 weeks as part of our rostered team coverage.

You'll have the opportunity to grow your skills in a high-energy, fun and supportive team who are just as passionate about supporting each other as we are about supporting our customers. We also work business hours, rostered between 7am and 5pm on weekdays, so there is the bonus of no weekend or evening work outside of the on-call roster.
