Remote Recruitment is hiring a Customer Retention Specialist for a UK-based employer, fully remote from South Africa. You will keep UK customers from leaving, and win back the ones already halfway out.

•
Negotiate retention offers within agreed commercial limits
•
Run win-back campaigns on lapsed accounts

What’s on offer
•
100% remote — work from anywhere in South Africa
•
09:00–17:00 UK time (11:00–19:00 SAST), Monday to Friday
•
Long-term placement with a stable UK business, not short contract work
•
A UK employer who invests in the people who stay
