Customer Account Manager - Stratford-on-Avon, Warwickshire, United Kingdom - Made Employment Ltd
Description
Customer Account Manager
Working for one of the UK's leading Field Services companies specialising in providing external field agency solutions primarily to the utilities sector. Our Head Office is based in Stratford upon Avon.
This is a full-time position working from our Head Office for 2 or 3 days each week and remotely (home based) for the remainder. This is based on a 37.5 hour working week; Monday to Friday.
Job Purpose
As a Customer Account Manager, you are responsible for the daily management of accounts referred to us from our Clients. Working with Customers who are primarily in arrears you will help by ensuring their account is resolved by agreeing and negotiating repayments that are affordable and sustainable to the Customer. This will also include options of a direct debit, the booking of a pre-payment meter or a arranging a meter 'change of mode' on certain account types. In performing this role there may also be a need to complete varied activity in relation to occupancy updates, metering issues, dispute registration and highlighting household vulnerability. The management of these accounts is performed by way of telephony or written communication, and will take place ahead of, or after, a Field Representative performs a site visit. The aim is to ensure the relevant account is resolved in a timely and efficient manner, with the best possible outcome achieved for all concerned. This must be done by understanding the customer's individual situation, showing empathy and respect, and providing fair outcomes and positive experiences all times.
It is imperative that the customer is fully aware of our reason for dealing with the account and should be encouraged to resolve the account, in a fair and professional way, at the earliest possible opportunity. At all times the customer must be aware of intended action and what can be done to prevent this. At all
times customer vulnerability must be considered when performing activities on the account. This role will also involve liaising with our Clients and our Field Representatives to ensure the most appropriate course of action is taken, with the relevant details provided to the customer as necessary.
Our work is closely monitored and highly regulated so it is necessary to ensure all processes are followed carefully and correctly, and that company records (including paperwork) are updated fully and accurately.
