About Heidi

Heidi exists to help more people discover the power of the mountains. We launched in 2018 (formerly Ski Zoom), and we've been shaking up a very traditional ski holiday industry ever since. Our clever tech helps skiers find hidden gems alongside the classics, and book them in a way that actually suits them.

We're an ambitious challenger brand with a brilliant culture. We ranked 63rd in the Times top 100 fastest-growing UK companies, secured £5.6 million in investment, and just had our most successful season yet. Now we're growing the team, and we want people who are excited to grow with us.

The Role

Working within a friendly team in our lovely office on Queen Square, you'll be responsible for making sure all of our ski trips run smoothly, and that our customers have a brilliant post-booking experience. Expect a steep learning curve in a fast-paced environment.

As a ski tour operator, we are super busy over the winter, with all our customers travelling over the winter season. We are looking for smart, customer-focused professionals to support our full time team over the winter period. This role is a temporary position ideally starting in mid September- late October. Successful applicants will work a 5 day week, with 2 of these days being Saturday and Sunday. There will also be options for part time if needed.

What winter looks like here

It's busy. Properly busy. Priorities change quickly and no two days are the same. But peak season is also when Heidi is at its best. Teams pull together, everyone backs each other up, and we celebrate the wins with socials, recognition and plenty of laughs.

If you thrive when it's hectic and love helping people, you'll love it here.

What you'll be doing

• Supporting customers by phone, live chat and email throughout the season
• Helping before, during and after trips, from pre-departure questions to in-resort issues
• Staying calm during live disruption and owning problems until they're solved
• Learning our products and systems quickly
• Owning your performance metrics: response times, satisfaction and resolution rates
• Pitching in wherever the team needs you
• Sharing ideas to help us improve. Many of our best fixes come from the people talking to customers every day

What you’ll bring

You don't need ski holiday experience. Genuinely. We'll teach you everything about ski holidays. What we do need:

• Customer support experience. You've solved real problems for real customers, and you care about doing it well
• Resilience. Tough conversations happen. You reset, ask for support when you need it, and keep showing up with empathy
• Genuine care. You actually want to help people. It's just who you are
• Speed. You learn quickly, ask good questions, and pick up the phone on the second ring
• A pitch-in attitude. You spot what needs doing and get it done
• Availability to work weekends and bank holidays throughout the season, including festive periods.

The interview process

• TA Screen (30 mins) with Luke, our TA Lead
• Onsite Interview (90 mins) with Victoria (Customer Support Manager) and a Customer Support Team Leader.
• Culture interview (30 mins) with Alexander (Co founder).

Why work with us?

• £26,500 salary
• 33 days paid annual leave (including Bank Holidays) + 4 paid “me days.” (prorated)
• A chance to build something great and work with a fantastic bunch of people.
