About Us

Quantanite is a global customer experience and digital solutions partner that blends cutting-edge AI with the human touch. Headquartered in London and operating across four continents, our team of more than 2,000 people helps some of the world’s fastest-growing brands scale smarter, work faster, and deliver better service.

We are not a typical outsourcing company. We believe great service is built on two things: smart technology and even smarter people. From our proprietary AI tools, such as MöBIUS, to our collaborative, people-first culture, we give our teams the tools, training, and support they need to make an impact.

If you are looking for an opportunity to begin or grow your career, develop practical workplace skills, work with supportive people, and help customers every day, you will feel at home here.

Position Overview

We are looking for enthusiastic, empathetic, and service-minded Customer Service Associates to join our frontline customer support team.

In this role, you will support customers using a leading food-delivery platform, helping them with queries relating to orders, payments, deliveries, promotions, and app usage. You will work in a fast-paced, technology-enabled environment where clear communication, quick thinking, and a calm approach can make a meaningful difference.

This is an entry-level opportunity suitable for candidates with between zero and one year of customer service experience. Previous contact-centre experience is not required, as comprehensive training will be provided.

This opportunity is being offered through Quantanite’s partnership with local industry and government via the SAYouth programme. Only candidates applying through SAYouth will be considered.
