We are particularly interested in people with experience in some of the following areas: 

• →Customer Strategy & North Star Visioning – helping organisations define a clear vision for customer experience, future-state service models and transformation roadmaps that align customer, colleague and business outcomes.

• →Future of Service & Value Creation – helping organisations redefine the role of customer service, identify opportunities to improve productivity, reduce avoidable demand and unlock measurable value from customer operations. 

• →AI-Enabled Service & Operations – shaping AI strategies, identifying high-value use cases and helping organisations adopt AI, automation and emerging technologies at scale.  

• →Customer Platforms & Technology Transformation – experience of CRM, CCaaS, digital, automation or customer platform transformation from strategy and procurement through to implementation.  

• →Transformation Delivery – leading or supporting complex programmes, working alongside clients to turn strategy into measurable outcomes and lasting change. 

We're looking for people with a blend of the following skills, experiences and capabilities. We don't expect candidates to have experience across all of these areas; instead, we're interested in individuals who bring strengths in several of them and are excited to continue developing their expertise as part of our growing Customer team:

• Experience of, or a strong interest in, shaping and delivering customer, service or operational transformation programmes. 
• The ability to combine strategic thinking with practical delivery, helping clients move from ambition to measurable outcomes.
