Digital Marketing & SEO Agencies

UENI is an international tech company that is empowering local businesses to get online. We don’t just build unique websites that businesses can be proud of — we’re there for each step of the journey, providing all the tools and support that small businesses need to boost their online presence. Founder Christine Telyan grew up in a small town in New Jersey, where small businesses were constantly under threat from bigger brands and large online retailers. Later, she experienced how ordinary customers just could not find quality service professionals and local businesses when searching online. In 2014, she and co-founder Anh Pham Vu created UENI as a way to get independent businesses online and help them succeed. Our team of over 90 professionals works every day to improve the outcomes for independent businesses who need hands-on support to grow. At UENI we believe that customers should have more choice and transparency, and we’re helping small businesses to provide it. From service providers like dentists and plumbers to photographers or restaurant owners, our mission is to make all businesses visible online. UENI now builds thousands of new sites every month - and we are just getting started.

Job description

About the role

We’re hiring a Retention Specialist to join our Customer Service team.

This is a specialist retention role. Your focus will be on customers who are actively trying to cancel and customers we believe may be at risk of leaving. You’ll work across phone, chat, and email, combining reactive cancellation handling with proactive outreach designed to prevent churn before it happens.

You won’t be responsible for a general support queue. We’re looking for people who are comfortable having difficult customer conversations, quickly identifying what is really driving a cancellation, and using good judgment to find the right path to retain the customer.

This role is highly outcome-focused. Success isn’t about how many conversations you close — it’s about how many customer relationships and how much recurring revenue you retain.

What you'll do:

  • Own cancellation conversations end-to-end. Handle customers requesting cancellation across phone, chat, and email, understand the real reason they want to leave, and work toward the right retention outcome.

  • Reach out proactively to customers at risk of churn. Use customer behaviour, account signals, previous interactions, and internal risk indicators to identify customers who may need intervention before they reach the point of cancellation.

  • Make the right retention offer for the situation. You’ll have a range of retention options and clear guidelines, but this is not a scripted role. You’ll need to understand the customer’s situation and decide which approach has the best chance of genuinely retaining them.

  • Handle retention confidently across different channels. A strong phone conversation is important, but so is being able to write a persuasive, personal email or manage a cancellation conversation through chat.

  • Understand the product well enough to challenge cancellation reasons and solve issues on the spot if needed
