Overview

FYXER is the market-leading Virtual Executive Assistant Service in the UK. Founded by Richard and Archie Hollingsworth in 2015, FYXER trebled its revenue year-on-year in its first two years of trading and doubled it last year. We have consistently grown both our customer base (80) and personnel (60), which we aim to increase to 110 and 80 by the end of 2019.

Thanks to our unique business model, we’re not only changing how executives are supported – by offering them a holistic service rather than a single employee – but also how Executive Assistants work, by providing flexible, remote working which redefines their work-life balance.

We pride ourselves on our customer satisfaction and have an equitable Net Promoter Score to service industry leaders, The Ritz. Our team of Executive Assistants (or Fyxers) go above and beyond for our predominantly technology-based clients, which include ClearScore, Secret Escapes and CharlieHR.

  • You will lead on customer service. You will be responsible for developing our customer service strategy and managing the customer team to ensure it is effectively deployed. You will report directly to the CEO.
  • You will be the customer advocate in the organisation. You will be responsible for putting yourself in the customers’ shoes, representing customers’ interests in meetings and ensuring their voice is heard in business decisions.
  • You will be responsible for churn management. You will build practices to anticipate and prevent client churn. If customers do leave, you will maintain a relationship with them, understand their reasons for leaving and incorporate this feedback into future strategies.
