Opportunity
Are you an experienced Customer Service or Customer Operations leader who enjoys developing people, solving problems and improving how things are done?

Working closely with Supply Chain, Commercial and teams across the wider business, you’ll help deliver a great customer experience while supporting our wider business goals.
Some of your key responsibilities will include:
- Leading, coaching and developing the Customer Service team.
- Managing workload and resource planning to ensure effective service coverage.
- Overseeing the end-to-end order management process and supporting strong OTIF performance.
- Acting as an escalation point for complex customer, supply and delivery issues.
- Using customer service data and KPIs to identify trends, root causes and opportunities for improvement.
- Working cross-functionally to develop solutions and improve processes.
- Supporting forecasting and demand planning through relevant customer and order insights.
- Working with Commercial to share customer intelligence and strengthen customer relationships.
- Leading continuous improvement across customer service, order management and fulfilment.
