The Role

Roles & Responsibilities

  • Process and post the monthly bill run accurately and on deadline.
  • Manage the billing ticketing system, making sure every query is logged, prioritised, resolved and closed within agreed timeframes.
  • Investigate billing discrepancies and raise credit notes or rebills where needed, with the right approval.
  • Support credit control on invoices raised by the billing team, chasing overdue payments and escalating where necessary.
  • Check the termination fees CRE covers for new customers, making sure they're correct and backed by the relevant contract terms.
  • Work through your termination tickets, keeping customers and internal teams updated, and send invoices to Finance for payment and track them through.
  • Calculate any termination fees due from existing customers and make sure they pass through billing correctly.
  • Work closely with Finance, Sales and Operations, reporting to our Finance Manager.

  • Able to prioritise and hit recurring deadlines, especially around the bill run.
  • Clear written and spoken communication, and confident handling payment queries with customers and internal teams.

Our Story
CRE speaking on stage at The Guild of Property Professionals event in 2025

Become Estate Agent Specialists

Most businesses chase growth by going broader. We did the opposite, dropped everything except estate agents, and strove to be brilliant in one sector. And it's been up ever since.

Team Grows to 50+ People

We are nothing without our brilliant team. From three founders round a laptop to a 50+, and still hiring. Fancy joining? Check out our careers page here.

CRE Charity Committee Launches

As a business, we want to give back so we launched our CRE Charity Committee. This is our Director relay to decide our nominated charity for the year, read more.

CRE 5th year summer party

5th Year Summer Party

Five years, a lot of learning curves, and one very good excuse for a party. We celebrated with employees, customers, partners and family at a swanky rooftop bar in London.

The CRE founders on day one in 2021

CRE is Founded

Three fresh-faced lads (+ Taylor), no idea what they were letting themselves in for, and a shared conviction that telecoms could be done properly. The opening day dress code was clearly “your smartest blue skinny jeans.”

CRE's first office in 2022

Move into First Office

Not exactly a 10th floor Mayfair office - a box room with just enough space for three desks and a kettle. But it was ours, and it finally felt like CRE was a real thing now we had a place to call home.

First Ever Blitz Day

Once a quarter we have a day where we blast the phones and give out prizes for top performers. This was our first and it's been such a good way to drive growth and give back to our amazing team.

Rebrand to CRE Group

As a company, we pivoted from solely telecoms to a multi-service provider, offering all of the business hardware solutions that an estate agent would need.

Our Values

The V.A.L.U.E.S framework provide the principles that guide our business.

Value Over Volume

We'd rather have 50 customers who genuinely benefit than 500 who regret signing. We consult, we don't coerce.

Adapt, Always

Whole of market means we find the right system for you now - and switch you to a better one if it emerges. Your contract is with us, not the hardware.

Lead With Truth

Transparent pricing. Honest timelines. Real integration (not “click-to-dial and we'll call it integrated”). If we can't do it brilliantly, we'll tell you.

Unmatched Expertise

Transparent pricing. Honest timelines. Real integration. If we can't do it brilliantly, we'll tell you.

Earn Everything

Trust. Additional services. Renewals. Referrals. Nothing is automatic. We prove our value every single day.

Smash The Standards

We fix costs. We answer in 5 rings. We integrate fully. In an industry known for price hikes and lock-ins, the bar is higher here.

Charity

As a business, we want to give back.

Every year, our Charity Committee nominates a chosen charity and runs a mix of internal and external fundraising events to support it, all year round.

Agents Giving

We work closely with the amazing people at Agents Giving.

The UK's first completely green telecoms company.

We're not going to save the world. But we're trying to run our business in a way that's better for the planet, without compromising on service.

A Tree Planted For Every Sold System

Every phone system we install funds a tree being planted. It's a small gesture, but thousands of systems means thousands of trees - and that adds up.

Old Hardware Refurbished & Donated

When you upgrade, your old handsets don't go to landfill. We refurbish them and donate them to charities or businesses that can't afford new equipment.

Green Energy Options Provided

Our energy partnerships focus on renewable sources with certified Guarantee of Origin. Zero emissions, lower bills, and a smaller carbon footprint for your agency.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got you covered. Here are some quick answers to help you get the most out of CRE.

Is CRE a remote-friendly employer?

It depends on the role. Our Business Development Manager and Field Engineer roles are fully remote, while others, like Business Development Representative, are based from our Crawley office. Each listing shows exactly what to expect.

What benefits does CRE offer?

Clear career progression, regular socials and team trips away, flexible and hybrid working, Employee of the Month and incentive schemes, discounted broadband and mobile plans, and a learning and development budget. You also get Christmas and your birthday off, a full pension scheme, and access to a mental health first aider.

What's the interview process like?

A short introductory call, a longer conversation with the hiring manager, and a final stage with one of the founders. We aim to come back to you with a decision within a week of your final interview.

Do I need estate agency or telecoms experience to apply?

No. Plenty of our team joined with no telecoms background at all. What matters is that you're curious, straight-talking and happy picking up the phone - we'll teach you the rest.

Where is CRE based?

Our head office is Unit 17, Lloyds Court, Crawley RH10 9QX, a few minutes from Gatwick. Remote roles can be based anywhere in the UK.

Does CRE support employee wellbeing?

Yes. We have trained mental health first aiders in the business, flexible hours and hybrid working, and a culture that doesn't expect you to be online at all hours.

What does “OTE” mean on your job listings?

On-Target Earnings: your basic salary plus the commission you would earn hitting your targets. We publish both figures on every listing so you can see exactly what the role pays.

What's it actually like working at CRE day-to-day?

Busy, sociable and fairly informal. Small teams, quick decisions, and everyone within earshot of the people making them. Expect parties, trips away, Employee of the Month awards and a fair few TikToks.
