We're Capital on Tap 👋
💳 Capital on Tap started because small businesses were underserved. Big banks were slow, their products weren't fit for purpose, and small business owners often couldn't access what they needed. We set out to fix that.
Today we're a financial platform - not just a credit card company. We offer a best-in-class business credit card, SME-focused spend management platform, a savings product that hit £1 billion in funds within its first year, and a growing suite of tools and financial products that make running a small business easier.
1,000+ employees, £20bn in annual card spend, 200,000+ customers, 17,000+ Trustpilot reviews averaging 4.7 stars, and we're profitable. We've done a pretty good job so far, but we're just getting started!

Customer Service / Customer Operations 🚀
Customer Operations is the beating heart of Capital on Tap, making sure everything runs smoothly for our customers. Customer Service is at the frontline of Customer Operations - the first people our customers talk to when they need help and the face of the business.
What You'll Be Doing 🗃️
Reporting to the Head of Customer Services, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our contact centre, leading teams that serve our UK and US business customers. This role goes beyond day-to-day people leadership: you will be the driving force behind how the contact centre evolves, using technology and a deep understanding of why customers contact us to reduce friction, improve efficiency, and deliver an outstanding customer experience.
- Drive the contact centre forward by identifying and implementing technology and tooling that improves efficiency, colleague experience, and customer outcomes.
- Build a deep understanding of the root causes of customer contact, using data and insight to inform process redesign, self-serve options, and contact deflection strategies.
- Translate contact driver analysis into tangible action plans that reduce avoidable contact and improve first-contact resolution.
- Build and lead a high-performing team, focusing on professional growth and personal development.
- Champion engagement, recognition, and team development to foster connection, alignment, and a shared sense of purpose.
- Lead, mentor, and support customer-facing colleagues and Team Leaders to cultivate a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
- Oversee team performance and service delivery standards, providing expert support for escalations while maintaining a proactive approach to problem-solving.
- Collaborate with other departments to optimise customer interactions, influence product and process improvements, and identify training needs.
