The posting

Click Learning is tackling South Africa’s education crisis with smart, scalable solutions that make a real difference. We deliver interactive online programmes that boost literacy, numeracy, and digital skills for primary school learners in under-resourced communities. By combining technology with on-the-ground support, we’re helping children build the foundations they need for long-term success and to build sustainable livelihoods. As a secondary outcome, we create jobs for previously unemployed youth to support in the schools and provide them with skills development to move onto better employment opportunities. We’re growing—and we’re looking for people who want their work to matter. Click Learning is one of the leading EdTech organisations in Africa. With rapid growth over the past few years and now maturing as an organisation, Click reaches over 235,000 learners in 316 schools, with over 23,000 devices under management, overseeing 1,000+ youth facilitators and 85 core staff in 4 head offices.

We are seeking an experienced and motivated Call Center Team Leader to join our team. As the Call Center Team Leader, you will be responsible for leading and managing the Call Center team (6 juniors), ensuring efficient and effective handling of queries, reports, and requests generated on the platform. Your role will involve hiring, training, and building the career paths of team members, setting objectives, analysing metrics, and providing reliable and efficient support to stakeholders. Additionally, you will play a crucial role in driving the team's performance, collaborating across the organization to optimize workflows, and delivering exceptional service.

  • Hold all departments across the organisation accountable to agreed-upon service standards, internal SLAs, and operational dependencies to guarantee seamless issue resolution.
  • Develop, build, and maintain comprehensive reports and real-time dashboards providing deep insights on ticket health, status, volume trends, system gaps, and backlog analysis for stakeholders and executive leadership.
  • Analyze operational metrics and performance indicators to evaluate team productivity, identify improvement areas, and implement strategies for enhanced efficiency.
  • Provide reliable and efficient support to stakeholders, including clients, employees, and partners, ensuring a high level of customer satisfaction throughout the support process.
  • Monitor and manage the Call Center platform, ensuring it is up to date, user-friendly, and aligned with industry best practices.
  • Stay up to date with industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in Call Center management, incorporating them into the team's operations when appropriate.
  • Continuously enhance the knowledge base and self-help resources available, empowering users to solve their queries independently.
  • Maintain a positive and collaborative work environment, fostering teamwork, knowledge sharing, and open communication among team members

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
