People Leadership and Coaching: Conduct regular 1-on-1s, deliver constructive feedback, partner with our Call Centre Coach, and support individual growth (including managing performance processes when required).

Operational Management: Coordinate daily workflows, staffing rosters, campaign allocations, and dialling strategies. Step up as the operational lead for the Contact Centre during the Call Centre Manager's absence.

Quality and Compliance: Monitor call quality, maintain accurate CRM records, handle supporter escalations and ensure strict compliance with fundraising regulation and privacy laws.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE

We are looking for an energetic, resilient leader who thrives in a fast-paced, target-driven environment and cares deeply about protecting our planet.

It is essential in this role to have strong leadership ability to motivate, inspire, and foster a psychologically safe, inclusive team culture. Whilst also operating with a high level of emotional intelligence, empathy, and adaptability under pressure.

You’ll also have:

At least 2 years’ experience in telefundraising or sales.

At least 1 year’s experience mentoring, coaching, or leading a team in a sales or call centre environment.

Proven experience with CRM systems, auto-dialers, call monitoring tools, and basic HR/timesheet software.

A deep passion for environmental issues and alignment with Greenpeace’s core values.

Outstanding phone communication, active listening, and objection-handling skills.

Strong organisational skills to manage workflows, rosters, and competing campaign priorities.
