What will you do?

You will guide and support our outbound telesales team to achieve customer retention targets. You’ll play a key part in ensuring the success of our campaigns, maximizing conversion rates, and driving revenue growth.

Beyond hitting targets, you’ll be responsible for maintaining top-tier quality standards—making sure everycustomer interaction is accurate, compliant, and professional. You’ll also take an active role in coaching and training your team, helping them sharpen their skills and bridge any gaps.

Clear and timely communication will be crucial, ensuring that everyone is aligned and well-equipped to perform at their best. Regular team briefings and performance reviews will be part of your routine, keeping everyone focused and on track.

Familiarity with CRM systems and relevant software will be an added advantage.

If you’re a results-driven leader who is passionate about sales, team development, and customer experience, this is your chance to make an impact.
