Call Center Agents Jobs in Kenya

Call Center Agents
 

Job Purpose: Our client offers a market information service via SMS, and is now providing support to farmers via a Call Centre. Farmers will be seeking support on a variety of topics. 

For phase one, we will focus on supporting them in how to configure and use existing mobile/SMS alerts that come from our client and relate to market prices, offers to buy and sell, and other configuration issues. 

In phase two, we anticipate growing the service to a much broader advisory service, including help around treating diseases, new growing practices, application of fertilizers, access to markets, weather, and buyers/sellers. 

 

It’s a totally innovative and exciting new project that will empower rural farming communities with information that they can easily access over a phone. 

We hope to support farmers in most local languages and dialects but mostly in Swahili and English. The actual work will require you to answer calls in a call center in Nairobi in collaboration with key experts and partners.
