Retention Agent

Flatpay is one of Europe's fastest-growing fintech companies, now expanding across the UK.

Role: Retention Agent
Location: London - fully office-based, 5 days per week

As a Retention Agent you will own the conversations that decide whether a merchant stays or leaves. When a customer contacts us to cancel, downgrade, or push back on pricing, you are the person who turns it around. This is a phone-first, target-driven role where you will be measured on save rate and the revenue you protect each month.

The team runs two tracks: inbound requests from internal teams like Sales and Customer Support, and outbound proactive calls to at-risk accounts. This is a commercial role, not a customer service one.

Responsibilities

• Handling inbound cancellation and downgrade requests from merchants

• Running outbound save calls to at-risk accounts flagged by the team

• Negotiating pricing, plan changes, and contract extensions to retain revenue

• Owning each case end-to-end, from first contact through CRM updates, contracts, and billing

• Hitting monthly save-rate and retained-revenue targets

• Working alongside Finance, CS, and Sales to ensure all activity follows process and supports our key metrics

Skills & Attributes

• 1 to 3 years in a phone-based, commercial, target-driven role: retention, renewals, inside sales, account management, or collections

• A proven track record against a commercial KPI, whether save rate, renewal rate, bookings, quota, or a collections target

• Confidence on the phone with people who are frustrated, indifferent, or already half out the door

• Comfort with structured negotiation: discounts, plan changes, and objection handling

• Strong organisation to own the admin without anything slipping

• A proactive attitude: spotting patterns in why customers leave and feeding that back to the team
