The role…

In this role, you’ll engage with customers mainly by phone and email, with some support through online chat and social media, contributing to a positive Pure experience. Whether they are starting or ending their journey with us, this is your opportunity to strengthen or restore our relationship by providing tailored solutions that meet their evolving needs.

You’ll handle a wide range of inbound and outbound inquiries, from assisting new customers with sign-ups to reaching out to those who’ve recently cancelled to explore ways to win them back. Your goal is to deliver sales excellence through a customer-centric approach, communicating with intent and purpose to meet both customer and business objectives.

No two days (or dogs!) are the same, so you’ll need to think quickly and creatively to find brilliant, innovative solutions to customer challenges. You’ll have the freedom to go above and beyond to make customers happy, ensuring their satisfaction is always a priority.

As part of a small, close-knit team, your primary responsibility will be to sell our products to new customers and retain those at risk of leaving.

You’ll also collect valuable customer insights and feedback, helping to guide strategic decisions and shape the future direction of the business. Your contributions will play a key role in influencing our company culture, voice, and approach, bringing fresh perspectives to everything we do.

Standard working hours are Monday to Friday, from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. With weekend working on a rotational basis. The specific working hours will be discussed during the interview process.
