- Answering queries from customers, partners and colleagues, troubleshooting and resolving where possible, or escalating more complex issues through our internal channels

**Does this sound like you?**:

- Experience in a customer service / administration environment
- Payroll experience would be advantageous, but training will be provided
- Self-motivated with a passion for great service delivery
- A genuine commitment to delivering the highest standards of customer service
- An unusually high attention to detail, with the ability to spot errors or notice when things “just don’t look right” - and motivated to follow these through to resolution
