The Director, Customer Experience is a newly created, high profile, executive level role, responsible for leading, planning and managing the development and implementation of customer service strategies, frameworks and standards. This person will drive operational excellence across the organisation, through the inspirational leadership of the customer service and contact centre teams, and by constantly putting customer experience at the centre of what they do.

They will also forge strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders and customers, understanding their complex needs and ultimately providing cost effective solutions which are consistent with global best practice in customer care.

The person will be an advocate of continuous improvement in work practices which improve customer service, add and sustain value, enhance service viability, and exceed industry benchmarks.
