Customer Service Manager
Bolton
£34,000 - £35,000 + benefits
Take the pressure of sales targets out of your career without giving up the customer relationships you love.
Here, you’ll focus on building long-term customer loyalty and improving the experience for a growing manufacturing client base. You’ll have the space to think strategically, resolve issues professionally and make a real impact on how customers perceive the business.
Enjoy a clear path to progression, with extensive training and development programmes that will sharpen both your commercial and leadership skills. And with wellbeing initiatives, a social club and perks like cycle to work and death in service cover, you’ll have the support you need both inside and outside of work.
And with flexible office-based hours, you’ll be able to fit your week around life as well as work.
What you’ll do
You’ll own and improve the customer experience from initial RFQ and onboarding through to dispatch. That means turning first-time orders into repeat business and keeping customers happy, informed and supported throughout their journey.
Specifically, you’ll:
* Be the central point of contact for customers, providing updates, resolving issues and managing escalations
* Follow up on RFQs to confirm orders or understand why they weren’t placed
* Work closely with sales and procurement to improve order visibility, forecasts and service levels
* Conduct regular feedback surveys and use the insights to close gaps in service
What you’ll need
* Strong customer-facing experience in manufacturing, with a track record of handling disputes professionally
* Some commercial or sales background, ideal if you’re an inside sales person who wants to focus more on service than targets
* Confident communication and the ability to influence across teams
