This is a rare opportunity to join a fast-growing, ambitious organisation at a pivotal stage of its development. The business has experienced significant growth over recent years and is now investing in its customer service and customer experience capability to ensure it can scale successfully, integrate future growth and continue delivering exceptional outcomes for customers.
As Head of Customer Service, you will have the opportunity to build, influence and transform a function with genuine executive visibility and long-term career potential. This role will be office based in North Yorkshire.
