About Focus Group
£1bn valuation, 30,000+ customers, 1,300+ employees across 20 UK offices. Award-winning employer (UK's Best 100 Companies to Work For 2021). Our recent investment from PE backers, Hg, will support Focus Group's organic growth plan, M&A ambitions and product development initiatives, enhancing our ability to deliver innovative solutions to businesses of every size, shape and sector.
Job Purpose
As a Customer Loyalty Executive in our Shoreham By-Sea office, you'll focus on customer retention by identifying at-risk accounts and intervening to improve their experience. When customers are considering leaving or showing signs of dissatisfaction, you'll step in to understand their concerns and find solutions.
This is a proactive retention role where you'll strengthen relationships, resolve service issues, and demonstrate the value of staying with Focus Group.
Your day-to-day
- Contacting customers who've submitted leaving notifications or are showing churn risk
- Running retention conversations to understand what's going wrong and how to fix it
- Conducting relationship reviews when service isn't meeting expectations
- Creating service improvement plans and introducing solutions that address their needs
- Coordinating with internal teams to resolve issues and complaints
- Managing high-value account knowledge and contract renewal triggers
- Cross-selling value-add services where they genuinely improve customer experience
- Identifying patterns in customer journeys where intervention prevents churn
You'll handle some challenging conversations - customers who are unhappy or frustrated - but your goal is to turn those situations around and rebuild trust.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
