A bit about us

AO has always had very big ideas. Even as the underdog in the early 2000’s our competitors could see how different we were. We wanted to disrupt the online retail market and redefine the customer journey. Starting as an appliance retailer we now offers TV’s, Small domestic appliances, Laptops and more.

Our customers are our biggest advocates, and we are proud to say we make millions of them happy. Our Trust Pilot score is 9.5 / 10 but we’re still determined to be the best electrical retailer in Europe. For that, you need to be driven.

Here's what you can expect to be doing

- We care about the purchases our customer’s make and want to protect their interests. This means calling them after their online order and offering them our value added service.

- Our customers are people and we want you to build a lasting impression on them that is positive – Truly understanding their needs and building relationships is a crucial part of the role

- The customer always comes first – Our approach is consultative and not pushy. Our sales executives are able to sell to customers using proven techniques and belief in the product.

- Everything is a team effort – You will be part of a wider team in Manchester and this means getting involved, caring about your team mates and working together closely.
