You’ll coach and develop your team while ensuring excellent service, strong results, and consistent achievement of operational targets.

• Organized, proactive, and comfortable managing multiple priorities

Salary

1400€ x 14

Portuguese contracts pay 14 salaries a year — your normal monthly salary plus a holiday and a Christmas salary. The annual figure is well above monthly × 12, which is worth working out before you compare it to an offer at home.

Benefits

• Competitive remuneration package
• Stable full-time employment
• Opportunity to lead and develop a customer service team
• Professional onboarding and ongoing management training
• Career progression within an international organization
• Dynamic and multicultural working environment
• Employee benefits and wellbeing initiatives
• Continuous learning and professional development opportunities

Why Portugal?

Portugal is the most popular relocation destination we place into, and it earns that. Over 300 days of sun a year, some of the lowest living costs in Western Europe, and large international communities in Lisbon and Porto that make arriving alone far less daunting.

How the process works

• Apply with your CV — we read every application
• A short introductory call with CloserHire, around 30 minutes
• Interview with the company
• Offer, then we help with the paperwork and, where relevant, the move

From application to starting on the ground usually takes around five weeks.
