What Makes the Role Exceptional
Customer service is being retained in-house, and this role offers full ownership of the function from inception - from establishing the framework and systems to eventually recruiting and leading a team. It is a standalone, high-autonomy position for someone ready to build rather than inherit.

- Establish the customer service framework, systems, and processes ahead of first completions
- Own the purchaser journey from point of exchange through to completion and induction
- Build relationships with purchasers, understanding and managing their expectations
- Select and implement a residents' portal and digital engagement tools
- Develop training materials and induction videos for the wider team
- Recruit and manage a second customer service professional within around six months
- Liaise with the appointed property managers and amenity operators
- Represent the development when showing designers and stakeholders around site
