What you'll be doing
- Lead, coach and develop a team of Client Advisors, creating an engaged, high-performing and collaborative culture.
- Provide day-to-day leadership, support and direction, ensuring excellent service standards are delivered consistently across the portfolio.
- Act as a visible role model for Howden's values, fostering a culture of accountability, development and continuous improvement.
- Support the growth and development of our MMP proposition, helping to build a scalable and sustainable servicing model.
- Work closely with Client Directors and Client Managers to ensure the successful delivery of client retention and renewal strategies.
- Oversee service delivery across a portfolio of clients, ensuring customer outcomes and service standards exceed expectations.
- Build strong relationships with key client stakeholders and act as an escalation point where required.
- Partner with Operations Manager to embed efficient working practices and support the adoption of new processes and ways of working.
- Support talent development, succession planning and future capability building within the team.
- Collaborate across the wider business to deliver the best outcomes for clients and colleagues.
