Customer Service Team Lead - Pensions (Remote within the UK)

Chip is on a mission to make saving and investing effortless for everyone. With a product suite spanning savings, ISAs, and investment accounts, we're now launching our SIPP pension — and we're looking for the right person to help us get it right for customers from day one.

This role sits at the heart of one of Chip's most significant product launches. As we bring our SIPP pension to market, we're looking for a Team Lead who can help shape what great customer support looks like from day one, and grow with the proposition as it evolves. As Chip's proposition matures, our ambition is to move toward more personalised, regulated support for customers, and this individual is likely to play a leading role in shaping how CS delivers that. If you're motivated by helping build something, not just running it, this is the right opportunity.

You'll be part of a broader CS team, leading on Pensions while contributing to the wider range of customer queries and subjects across Chip's product suite. You'll report to the Customer Service Manager and work closely with colleagues across CS leadership to ensure consistency in standards, process, and direction.
