Customer Operations Representative - May Intake

In Australia there are two separate businesses; Toyota Motor Corporation (TMCA) and Toyota Finance Australia (TFA).  While we work closely together, TMCA focuses on vehicles and here at Toyota Finance Australia our priority is to provide finance, insurance and fleet management.
 
TFA is a place where difference is celebrated. We strive to create a workplace that not only gives equal opportunities to people of all backgrounds and abilities but supports them to reach their full potential.
 
We're working towards a future where we look out for each other and our planet. Where we enrich lives with the safest and most responsible ways of moving. This is the kind of tomorrow we're imagining here at TFA.

About the role
 
Our Customer Service Team is expanding!
 
Starting in May with a competitive salary, as a Toyota Finance Australia Customer Operations Representative, you’ll be servicing the needs of our customers across a variety of brands at our Caribbean Park office in Scoresby.
 
It’s a fast- paced and highly supportive customer centric environment which places a big focus on your ongoing development and career pathway. Our contact centre is open 8am to 7pm Monday to Friday so you will need to be available during those times (we are closed on the weekends and national public holidays).
 
We offer a hybrid way of working where we enjoy 3 days per week in the office to catch up with our team and also for other reasons where it makes sense to be face-to-face such as for training and other special occasions.
 
What will your journey look like?
 
To set you up for success in your career with Toyota Finance, you will start in the classroom for 2 weeks, where you will learn all you need to know about our products, processes and systems.. Then you will spend a week transitioning to your team in a mentoring hub followed by 4–6 weeks of coaching and support to help you embed your new knowledge and skills before you take over the reins.  
 
Once you have achieved the role expectations which is generally at the 6mth mark you will then have the opportunity to be upskilled in our insurance or retention activities where you will be rewarded with a salary increase. After performing in the role for a minimum of 12 months we can then help you build a development plan that can assist you in identifying and preparing for other roles within Toyota Finance if that is what you want to do.
 
What can you expect?
 
On average you will take up to 50-60 calls/emails per day. As with all contact centre roles there are key metrics to achieve which include average handling time, quality assurance, roster adherence and post call customer surveys.
We are proud of the supportive environment we have created which includes a minimum of two coaching sessions per month, a monthly catch up with your manager to discuss your development plan as well as team meetings and huddles.
 
You will:

• Engage with customers to provide solutions to their car loan & insurance queries
• Assist our customers to meet their vehicle finance needs
• Provide excellent customer service at all times
• Contribute to the success of our business through making recommendations for improvement and taking ownership of your own results
• Meet the high standards expected within our culture and customer expectations such as call handling times and call quality 

Your attributes – If you don't meet 100% of the criteria to apply, we’d still love to hear from you. We celebrate individual differences because we know that when we bring more diverse minds together, we create better solutions.

• Proven experience in delivering a superior level of customer service including managing difficult customer conversations in a positive and professional manner
