➡️ What you’ll do

• Resolve customer issues with a personal touch: Understand each request, listen closely and adapt your answers to the customer’s situation. Investigate using trusted resources and established procedures, involve BackLine specialists or other teams when needed, and share relevant tips alongside the solution. Keep customers informed and follow through on the next steps.

• Turn customer feedback into renewed trust: Help strengthen Qonto’s customer satisfaction and reputation on Trustpilot by delivering great support from the first conversation. Over time, once you’re confident in the role and as team capacity allows, you may also call customers who left a negative review, investigate the root causes of their dissatisfaction and work with the right teams to resolve their concerns.

• Turn customer insights into improvements: Spot recurring pain points and turn what you learn into practical proposals for Product, Tech, Operations and other teams. Help improve both the product and the processes behind the customer experience.

• Shape a new team’s ways of working: Build on our foundations by proposing ideas, testing improvements and helping develop the routines, guidance and tools that make great support repeatable.

• Use AI to make support better: Experiment with approved AI tools to help build scalable, high-quality workflows and automations that reduce repetitive work and improve the customer experience. Check outputs carefully and protect customer information throughout.

➡️ What we’re looking for

• Clear communication and empathy: You communicate confidently in spoken and written French and English, listen actively and adapt your explanations to the person you’re helping. You’re excited about a role initially focused on phone conversations. You stay calm when conversations become challenging, acknowledge customers’ concerns and offer realistic next steps without making promises you can’t keep.

• Empathy and composure: You stay thoughtful when conversations become challenging, acknowledge customers’ concerns and offer realistic next steps without making promises you can’t keep.

• Problem-solving and creativity: You enjoy getting to the bottom of an issue, asking useful questions and exploring possible solutions. When an unusual case comes up, you’re comfortable investigating, testing appropriate options within our procedures and asking for specialist help when needed.

• Ownership and organisation: You can balance requests, capture the context colleagues need and keep track of follow-ups so customers aren’t left wondering what happens next.

• Curiosity and a builder’s mindset: You welcome coaching, learn digital tools quickly and are willing to try new approaches—including AI—to make work better for customers and teammates.

• Previous customer service experience is welcome, but not required. You may be looking for your first role, changing careers or bringing transferable skills from another setting. We’re interested in your skills, motivation and willingness to learn.

➡️ What we can offer you

• A team you can help build: Join the first internally operated FrontLine France team and have a direct hand in shaping its routines, tools and service standards.

• Skills that grow with you: Develop your communication, investigation and problem-solving skills through customer conversations, product learning and regular coaching.
