Process Improvement Consultant

Overview

Music wouldn't exist without the work of songwriters, composers and publishers. We're here to represent them and make sure that they are paid for their work. After more than a century in the industry, we continue to innovate as a world‑leading organisation.

The Role

To identify, prioritise and deliver evidence‑led improvements that enhance the experience we offer to members and colleagues across the Membership department. The role will improve processes, knowledge, systems usage and ways of working in a member‑serving contact centre environment, using demand analysis and operational insight to reduce avoidable contact, improve first‑contact resolution and ensure members receive high‑quality support at all times.

The Process Improvement Consultant will conduct regular demand analysis across all contact channels to understand why members contact us, where demand is repeated or avoidable, and where current processes, knowledge or systems create friction for members and colleagues. This insight will be used to recommend and deliver improvements that remove failure demand, reduce non‑value‑add activity and support a digital‑first approach to member service.

The main focus of the role will be to work with Member Support and wider Membership teams to improve how member enquiries, cases and calls are handled and resolved. This includes improving case and call handling processes, strengthening colleague knowledge, clarifying hand‑offs with other PRS teams, and improving ways of working with third parties such as ICE and affiliate societies. The role will also support improvement activity across related processes, including member onboarding and member data maintenance.

Processes will need to be mapped using recognised improvement methodologies and understood from both an operational and technical perspective. Opportunities for improvement should be assessed and prioritised using data‑driven analysis, member and colleague insight, and clear evidence of expected impact.

Once identified, improvements should be clearly scoped, proposed, delivered and embedded in collaboration with the Member Experience team and relevant operational, quality, complaints, technology and business stakeholders.
