Customer service manager (UK)

ParcelHero is one of the UK's biggest parcel delivery price comparison sites, with over 5 million visitors a year. We're a scaling, technology-focused business with 120 remote staff worldwide - and we're growing fast, expanding internationally into the US and Europe this year.

We serve both consumers and businesses in an almost 50/50 split, and our move into SaaS is shifting that mix further towards larger businesses and, ultimately, enterprise customers. In 2026, we launched our cutting-edge TMS (Transport Management Solution), Parcelhero Pro, enabling retailers to pay a monthly subscription to ship on their own carrier accounts and manage every aspect of their logistics through our platform.

We're a highly innovative company, deeply focused on optimisation, automation, and continuous process improvement. Joining now means being part of the journey - helping shape our technology, our processes, and our approach as we scale globally.

We're also a remote-first business: no commute, no office politics, just great work with talented colleagues around the world.
