You will operate at the centre of this transformation, partnering with senior stakeholders to solve complex, cross-Group challenges and influence how the organisation makes decisions.

Your responsibilities:

Build and evolve the Journeys system

• Further develop and refine the Journeys methodology, including how we measure, diagnose and prioritise customer experience improvements
• Translate complex customer data and insights into clear, structured frameworks that guide decision-making; this often requires stitching together multiple data sets to develop insights
• Create scalable toolkits and approaches that can be adopted consistently across the Group
• Influence senior stakeholders by distilling complex and ambiguous information into clear, compelling narratives

 

Drive enterprise-wide embedding

• Develop clear, compelling materials for senior stakeholders on customer experience, insights and priorities
• Partner to embed the Journeys system into business units, influencing how teams prioritise and deliver change.
• Support Product & Channel owners to deliver CX enhancements by ensuring the appropriate trade-off between customer and commercial outcomes.
• Lead structured problem-solving to identify key customer breakpoints and define actionable improvement plans

• Build constructive, collaborative relationships with Product and Channel owners across the Bank.
• Build effective relationships with key suppliers to deliver better outcomes for customers and business partners
• Role model high standards, curiosity and a strong focus on impact

Risk Management

• Strong structured problem-solving skills, with the ability to break down ambiguous problems and develop clear, actionable solutions
• Proven ability to create methodologies, frameworks or toolkits that scale across business units
• Exceptional executive communication and storytelling skills, including experience preparing and presenting to senior stakeholders
• Demonstrated ability to influence senior stakeholders across the Group (GM/EGM level)
• Experience leading or contributing to large-scale transformation or customer experience initiatives
• A track record of operating with high standards, ownership and a focus on delivering measurable impact, whilst contributing towards a great team culture

Why this role:

• Enterprise-wide impact: Work across the full breadth of the Group with visibility into end-to-end customer outcomes
