  • Client Communication Associate (UK Market) at MN8 Digital

    Client Communication Associate (UK Market)
    Lusaka | Full-time | Office-based
    International clients | Professional conversations | Career progression
    We’re building a high-performance international call centre in Lusaka, working exclusively with UK businesses.
    This is not a traditional call-centre role and not a high-pressure “hard sales” job.
    We’re looking for people who speak clear, confident English and can hold professional conversations with senior decision-makers in the UK — calmly, intelligently, and without friction.
    What you’ll actually be doing

    Speaking with UK business owners and senior professionals
    Having structured, professional conversations (not reading robotic scripts)
    Qualifying interest, asking smart questions, and booking follow-up discussions
    Representing international brands with confidence and credibility

    This role is a great fit if you come from:

    Office administration / executive assistant / operations roles
    NGOs or international organisations
    Hospitality (hotels, guest relations, airlines)
    Education (private schools, universities, admissions, tutoring)
    Communications, media, or content roles

    Previous sales or call-centre experience is useful — but not essential.
    What matters most to us

    Very good spoken English (clear pronunciation, calm pace, confident tone)
    Ability to speak professionally with people in authority
    Strong listening skills and structured thinking
    Reliability, coachability, and pride in your work

    What we’re not looking for

    Shouting, aggressive selling, or scripted “telemarketing”
    People who are uncomfortable speaking to international clients
    Heavy slang or casual communication styles on professional calls

    What you’ll get

    Competitive base salary + performance bonuses
    Full training (UK market, conversation structure, commercial skills)
    Clear progression into senior agent, QA, or team-lead roles
    Stable, long-term opportunity with international exposure
