  • Creative Problem Solving: When hurdles arise, find creative, fair solutions that keep the driver mobile and happy.

  • Operational Resilience: Maintain high standards and a positive attitude even during busy periods, managing your workload effectively.

What you’ll need

  • Bilingual Fluency (English & German): Fully fluent in both languages and comfortable handling UK operations while also supporting international customers in German.

  • Excellent Phone Manner: Natural communicator who builds rapport quickly and stays calm under pressure.

  • A Passion for Service: Enjoy helping people and go the extra mile to ensure a memorable experience for customers.

  • Resilience and Grit: Thrive in a fast‑paced scale‑up environment, viewing challenging conversations as opportunities to win trust and comfortable with ambiguity and change.

  • Attention to Detail: Eye for small things; ensure no detail is missed in contracting or delivery processes.

  • A Team Player Mindset: Works well in a close‑knit team, shares feedback and suggests process improvements.

  • Knowledge of Cars/EVs (Preferable): Background or interest in the automotive industry or electric vehicles is an advantage and helps you hit the ground running.
