As the Customer Strategy and Experience Lead, you will own and evolve the TBUK Customer Services strategy and the enabling capabilities that deliver our customer experience. This includes responsibility for Existing Customer Communications (ECC), Knowledge Management (KM), Change & Continuous Improvement, and Workforce Management Strategy (WFMS). You will partner closely with frontline leaders and control functions to deliver reliable, compliant, and human customer experiences across channels, improve cost-to-serve, and embed measurement and learning into the operating rhythm. You will ensure that service plans and change portfolios anticipate demand, protect customer outcomes, and align with regulatory expectations (such as Consumer Duty, DISP, and vulnerable customers), as well as internal governance.

We offer flexible, hybrid working, typically with two to three days per week in our Bristol Head Office, and the option to work from home on other days. Occasional travel to our Group Head Office in the Netherlands may be required to support collaboration with our international colleagues.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as the main point of contact for compliance activities, coordinate improvement actions, manage third-party contracts, and deputise for the Head of Customer Services as required.
