Customer-focused service professional with 7+ years delivering first-contact resolution and high-accuracy support.
What I'm looking for
I’m a customer service professional with 7+ years owning customer relationships end to end—from first contact to resolution. I take full responsibility for complex enquiries while staying calm, accurate, and accountable under pressure.
I’m recognised for clear, empathetic communication and sound judgement on sensitive issues. I’m comfortable handling high-volume customer interactions across phone, email, and face-to-face, with a strong written approach for email and real-time support environments.
In my most recent role as an Account Manager (Brand Concession – Sisley Paris UK), I’ve led on-site customer service standards and after-sales support inside a strategic retail partnership. I resolved the majority of enquiries at first point of contact and maintained disciplined CRM accuracy and reliable follow-up.
I also built and led service capacity as a Department Team Manager (Primark), coaching a team of 8–12 and stepping into duty cover during peak periods. I bring a proactive, buddy-minded, ownership-led approach—paired with practical product and policy knowledge and strong CRM discipline—so customers experience consistency and fairness.
