Description

iwoca is breaking down the barriers that stop Europe’s 20 million small businesses from accessing finance. Traditional bank loans have slow application processes, inflexible terms and burdensome criteria. In contrast, we use cutting-edge technology to offer flexible access to credit with a five minute application process and a decision in hours.

Since 2012, we've lent over £900 million to over 50,000 businesses across Europe. Our customers include everything from cafés to car dealers, salons to solicitors. Along the way we have built a sophisticated technology platform, won numerous awards and grown a fun, and vibrant team.

However, we’re still near the start of our journey – our aim is to finance a million small businesses within a decade and so we need more smart, hands-on people to help us reach this goal.

Requirements

The role:

At iwoca, we really love our customers, we want them to have the best possible experience. We understand that financial matters can be confusing and frustrating for small businesses, so our Account Managers work hard to understand our customers’ financial needs and determine how we can most effectively support them in achieving their business goals. Our Account Managers are passionate about building and nurturing successful long term relationships with our customers based on service and trust. We use relevant data to provide our customers with the best possible customer service and create a truly enjoyable customer experience.

Your mission will be to:

  • Be the customer champion, driving business growth through adoption of the iwoca product for new customers
  • Nurture a portfolio of existing customer relationships to achieve long-term customer retention
  • Support customers through the renewal process expediently
  • Build and maintain strong, long-lasting relationships with small businesses, helping them achieve their business goals with iwoca
  • Proactively guide customers through our process and ensure we exceed their expectations, effectively addressing customer concerns and issues
  • Liaise with various teams within iwoca to achieve the best outcome for your customers

In addition, we are always looking to improve how we work. Part of your responsibilities will include driving change across the business through rethinking our processes and by giving and receiving structured feedback to ensure we always provide customers with the best possible experience across all aspects of iwoca.

We look for people that are smart, humble, motivated and who are always looking to improve. Ideally, you’ll have:

  • A passion for delighting customers - first and foremost - prior experience and proven customer relationship management experience a strong plus.
  • Preferably a university degree in a business related field and 2+ years of professional experience
  • Strong communication & listening skills with excellent telephone manners and a passion for serving customers
  • To be proactive, motivated, and metrics-driven: we work in a fast-paced environment
  • Good time-management and multitasking skills
  • The ability to "think outside the box" to make suggestions that will help us improve our products, systems and processes
  • A proven ability to explain complex products and services to consumers
  • Good understanding of business finance and accounting. More importantly you should have an understanding of what makes SMEs tick
  • Attention to detail and the ability to spot missing data from a mile away
  • Fluent German - note that we require fully fluent German level (i.e. you’ve grown up speaking German or have learnt it to CEFR C2 level or similar)
  • Cover letter is essential.

Benefits

In addition to a competitive salary, we also provide the following:

  • A smart, fun and internationally diverse team - together, we represent over 35 different nationalities
  • Company retreats in great locations - we have at least two per year in places like the French Alps and by the Spanish seaside
  • 26 days holiday a year, plus all bank holidays, plus a day off for your birthday
  • The opportunity to give your time to support a charity of your choice, via a paid volunteering day
  • Additional leave so that you can take more time to go travelling or to study, outside of your holiday allowance

iwoca offers flexible credit to small businesses across Europe, allowing them to take advantage of opportunities previously only available to their larger peers.
