Asesor de Atención al Cliente (Vida Cero Carbono)

Job Description

At OVO, we understand that a one size fits all approach doesn't work for everyone. That's why we created the OVO Way of Flexibility.

All our roles are hub based (Bristol or Glasgow), providing a dedicated space for collaboration, connection and teamwork. You'll also have the flexibility to work from home.

For this role, you'll need to be based within a reasonable distance from our offices (30 miles) and able to travel into our Glasgow hub. The expectation is 2 days per week in office during the training period and then will be 2 days per month once you're in your squad.

Everyone belongs at OVO

At OVO, we are on a mission to solve one of humanity's biggest challenges, the climate crisis. And we know it takes all of us to change the world. That's why we need diverse people from all gender identities, ethnicities, ages, sexual orientations, life experiences and backgrounds to join us.

Teamworking for the planet

Everything we do here spins around Plan Zero. So, naturally, the team you'll be joining plays a gigantic role in making that happen. Here's how:

Our way of working enables us to treat our customers as individuals. We understand their needs in a personal and relevant way, resolving their queries as quickly as possible; we call this Account Management.

We're working together in squads with the same zero-carbon goal in mind; it's not just a way of working - it's a culture and a mentality. Squad life is all about self-managing as a group and making decisions together.

With Plan Zero at front of mind, we're all about making things better, looking for opportunities to deliver customer value in a constantly evolving landscape. Squads are encouraged to try innovative approaches, learning and adapting quickly are core to our development culture.

We embrace challenges, continuously provide feedback and pro-actively seek opportunities to improve, innovate, and progress towards a zero carbon future.

This role in a nutshell

As a Zero Carbon Living Advisor, your role is to provide consistently outstanding service to OVO's customers across the entire customer lifecycle; this will include some of OVO's most vulnerable customers. You serve to solve, ensuring customer's needs are met whilst informing and educating on our Plan Zero mission and connecting them with products and services that support home decarbonisation.

Your key outcomes will be

• Engaging with OVO's customers, communicating with passion across phone, and occasionally via email.
• Quickly understand the root cause of customer contact, taking ownership for solving queries first time to prevent repeat contact.
• Coach your teammates in areas where you have a deeper level of knowledge or skill - this might be to help answer a customer query in the moment or to enhance the overall knowledge across the squad.
• Take ownership for the success of the entire squad. We believe the strength of the squad is each individual advisor, but the strength of each advisor is the squad.
• Autonomously manage your day, ensuring the overall objectives of the squad are achieved.
• Prepare, attend and actively contribute at squad meetings as appropriate.
• Identify and implement continuous improvement efforts in both squad ways of working and customer experience.

• Be empowered to have strong conversations to promote our products & services that we offer to our customers to help promote a Zero Carbon Living.
• Take accountability for your own development and using the tools provided to allow yourself to have strong conversations around our new and existing products.

• Enjoy working in a fast paced customer service environment, and have a real passion for providing outstanding customer service and an eye for continuous improvement.
• Demonstrate our OVO values and be an advocate of Plan Zero.
