Company mission
Honest is the network doing mobile right. It's on a mission to show a broken industry there’s a better way to do mobile.
Role
Who you are
- You might be a graduate, you might not be. You might have years of work experience, you might not. We're looking for someone to help make sure our customers keep being the happiest mobile customers around
- You have experience interacting with customers - mostly consumers - and providing them great customer service
- You enjoy talking to people, understanding their problems and helping to get them fixed for them
- You’re a good writer and can explain complex topics clearly and simply to anyone, particularly those who are less comfortable with technology
- You're excited about technology, are comfortable using and understanding tech and are happy explaining things to non-technical people
- You like solving problems
- You love getting your hands dirty and don't mind trying out new things
- You care about sustainability and making our planet a better place
- You see the potential in bringing Honest Mobile's transparent, community-focused approach to hundreds of thousands of people
What the job involves
- The telecoms industry is known for its terrible customer support. At Honest, we're changing that, with a team of people who genuinely care, supported by the best tools and technology. You’ll be the newest member of our customer support team, and will be an integral part of the future of Honest Mobile
- Help Honest Mobile’s customers with anything they need and make sure they are delighted, even when something hasn't quite gone to plan. You’ll be their first point of contact on instant chat and email
- Take ownership of and be proactive with communications to customers where you can see potential problems
- Help maintain and improve our customer support scores and processes:
- Our Net Promoter Score is the best in the mobile industry (over 70) and our Trustpilot Rating of ‘Excellent’ puts us at the front of the pack. You will be helping to delight our customers and improve our customers’ experience
- We respond to customers in seconds rather than letting them wait on hold - being quick and friendly is very important to us
- Work with our team to improve processes for our teams, and provide feedback to help automate them where possible
- Help write and update FAQs and support articles for our most common questions to help customers find the information they need
- 40 hrs /week shift pattern including some evenings, weekends and bank holidays
- While we’re helping you get up to speed, your hours will be focused on the core working week, 9-6, Monday to Friday
- Once you’re up to speed, your 40 hours a week will be across our operating hours of 8am until 7.30pm, and covering one weekend in every three as part of those hours
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Honest Mobile was launched in response to seeing a gap in the modern market for mobiles. Mobile networks were lagging behind, set in their old ways with complicated contracts, overcharging, and keeping customers on hold -being the norm.
To challenge this, the company built Honest Mobile from the ground up to create a better mobile network for customers and the planet. With £150k in funding, Honest Mobile has created the first carbon-neutral mobile network where customers can float between networks. And on top of this, its a registered B-Corporation and plants trees on behalf of its customers.
The mobile industry has many established players who have already spent time dealing with the challenges that Honest Mobile currently faces, like price competitiveness, WiFi functionality, and rural coverage. However, by aiming to capitalise on the consumer trend of eco-consciousness, which many of the existing companies in this space neglect, Honest Mobile aims to grow its customer base. Its performance on Seedrs, an equity crowdfunding platform for startups where it raised more than £3M in an oversubscribed campaign, shows that it is clearly gaining traction in the market.
With sustainability at the core of its mission, the company has released the UK's first recycled SIMs – made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic. Honest Mobile's next step? Getting get rid of SIMs altogether!
