• Supporting the activation of services once contracts are signed, ensuring accurate data is collected and implementation requirements are clearly understood
• Managing smaller orders and installations (typically under 10 users), maintaining delivery standards in line with agreed service levels
• Using internal CRM tools (e.g., Microsoft Dynamics) to manage workflow from contract signature through to provisioning and billing
• Drafting and issuing customer-facing documentation, including tailored voice configuration templates and bespoke call flow diagrams
• Carrying out user and hardware allocation, voice platform setup, and configuration of specific requirements
• Using external portals to provision third-party services that enhance the overall voice solution
• Liaising with provisioning colleagues to conduct number availability checks and prepare porting documentation
• Providing support across internal departments and acting as a point of reference for voice-related queries
• Representing the voice and UC function in a professional and collaborative manner
Key Requirements
• Confident communicator – both verbally and in writing – with the ability to present information clearly
• Highly organised, methodical and capable of managing multiple tasks and priorities
• Flexible, adaptable, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment
• Strong attention to detail and a problem-solving mindset
• Team-oriented but able to take initiative and work independently
