Job Description & How to Apply Below
Remote Recruitment is hiring a Customer Retention Specialist to work remotely from South Africa for a UK-based employer. You will be the person customers speak to when they are thinking about leaving — listening properly, understanding what went wrong, and finding a solution that works for both sides. This is a role for someone who enjoys conversation, stays calm under pressure, and takes satisfaction in turning a frustrated customer into a loyal one.
Keyresponsibilities
- Speak with customers who have requested to cancel and understand the reason behind it
- Offer suitable alternatives, plan changes, or resolutions to keep the account open
- Follow up on at-risk accounts flagged by the wider team
- Record outcomes and cancellation reasons accurately in the CRM
- Share recurring themes and feedback with the account and product teams
- Meet monthly retention and call quality targets
- Two or more years in customer service, retention, or account management
- Clear, neutral spoken and written English
- Familiarity with CRM systems such as Hub Spot, Zoho, or Salesforce
- Comfortable handling objections without becoming pushy
- A quiet home workspace, a reliable computer, and stable fibre or LTE internet
- Availability 09:00 to 17:00 UK time (11:00 to 19:00 SAST)
- R16,000 to R22,000 per month, depending on experience
- 100% remote — work from anywhere in South Africa
- UK working hours with your evenings free
- Paid UK public holidays and annual leave
- Long-term placement with a stable UK employer
