About the Role

This is a hands-on role sitting at the centre of our Growth and Customer team. We work across several distinct workstreams including our Social Value Insight platform (SaaS), consultancy projects, and our Retrofit Credits programme. You will help ensure a consistent, high-quality approach to sales coordination and customer success across all three.

Retrofit Credits is HACT’s programme enabling housing providers to generate verified carbon and social value credits from retrofit activity. It is an important and growing part of our work, and this role will support the consistent delivery of a high-quality customer experience, building on the customer success practices already established across our platform and consultancy work.

You will be involved throughout the customer lifecycle, from coordinating sales activity and managing enquiries through to supporting onboarding and ongoing customer engagement across all three workstreams. The role involves working closely with colleagues across the Growth and Customer team, as well as communicating directly with external customers and partners.

It is a varied role that suits someone who is organised, reliable, and takes genuine satisfaction in delivering a high standard of customer experience.
