Requirements:- Hands-on experience optimising cloud telephony platforms, rather than only resolving support tickets; ideally across 3–4 platforms such as 8x8, Five9, RingCentral, Gamma, NetSapiens or GoTo

- Comfortable working Monday to Friday, 1pm–10pm UK time; this shift is non-negotiable
- Confidence owning a client implementation from review through to go-live
- Availability at short notice
- Review client telephony platform configurations against the issues that led clients to sign up, such as missed calls, lack of voicemail or no failover, and recommend changes
- Run solution proposal calls with clients and an implementation manager, explaining options clearly to both non-technical and technical audiences
- Configure, test and deploy agreed changes end to end, without handing implementation over to a separate install team
- Build and deploy AI call agents on ElevenLabs, beginning with out-of-hours routing and progressing to in-hours call handling
