Our Customer team is hiring motivated and talented individuals to help clients define the future of customer experience and reimagine how they engage, serve and create value for their customers. We work with organisations across a range of sectors to define the future of customer experience, redesign service organisations and deliver transformation that improves customer outcomes, operational performance and commercial value.

What you will be doing:

You will be joining a thriving team of customer, service and transformation specialists who combine deep customer-centric thinking with practical delivery expertise. We recognise that great candidates come from different backgrounds and won't necessarily have experience across every area below. Instead, we're looking for individuals who bring strength in several of the following disciplines and are excited to broaden their experience across the wider Customer team.

• 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.
• Connected Customer Experience (CCX) – designing end-to-end experiences that connect journeys, channels, technology, data and operations to deliver seamless customer outcomes.
• Service Design & Customer Insight – applying research, journey mapping and design thinking approaches to understand customer needs and translate them into practical solutions.
• Service Reimagined & Contact Centre Transformation – helping organisations redefine the role of service, improve customer and colleague experience, and transform contact centres into value-generating functions.
• 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.

Your skills and experience:

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.
• Experience working within, or closely alongside, customer-facing environments such as customer service, contact centres, service operations, customer experience teams or transformation functions.
• An understanding of customer experience, service operations or the drivers of customer, colleague and business performance.
• Confidence leading workshops, facilitating discussions and engaging stakeholders from operational teams through to senior leaders.
• Strong stakeholder management, relationship-building and communication skills, with the ability to create confidence and influence change.
• Structured problem-solving and analytical capabilities, with the ability to translate customer and operational insight into actionable recommendations.
• Curiosity about the future of customer experience, service, AI and emerging technologies, alongside a point of view on how they can create value for organisations.
