About the role

As a Customer Retention Executive in our Glasgow, Bellshill office, you'll be at the heart of keeping our customers happy and loyal.

• Spot the early warning signs of a customer who's thinking of leaving, and step in before it's too late
• Take the time to properly understand what's gone wrong for unhappy customers, then find a solution that works for them
• Build relationships proactively — not just fixing problems as they land, but building loyalty strong enough that customers want to stay
• Handle challenging conversations with frustrated or unhappy customers, staying calm and professional throughout
• Listen, rebuild trust, and show customers why staying with Focus Group is the right call

What we're looking for

✅ A strong communicator who can handle retention conversations professionally ✅ A problem solver who gets to the root cause and finds real solutions ✅ Resilient — someone who stays calm and level-headed with unhappy customers ✅ An empathetic listener who genuinely wants to help customers succeed ✅ Commercially aware — you understand that retention equals revenue

Don't let the list above put you off. We value passion, potential and a willingness to learn just as much as experience. We're a fast-paced, growing business, and if you're excited about customer relationships and helping companies succeed with technology, we'd love to hear from you — even if you don't tick every box.

Benefits

• 24 days annual leave + bank holidays, increasing with length of service
• Holiday trading window — buy and sell up to five days holiday
• Up to £1k monthly bonus for hitting your retention targets
• Hybrid working available after probation
• [Add any further benefits from the live advert or your source doc — e.g. pension, healthcare, discounts — to keep this section complete]
