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.

• Design and deliver blended learning programmes across our voice, chat and email teams


• Delivering training across onboarding, skills development, quality improvement and leadership pathways


• Rebuild our onboarding journey in Customer Service so we set our advisors up for success from day one
