As the Customer Strategy and Experience Lead, you will own and evolve the TBUK Customer Services strategy and the enabling capabilities that deliver our customer experience. This includes responsibility for Existing Customer Communications (ECC), Knowledge Management (KM), Change & Continuous Improvement, and Workforce Management Strategy (WFMS).
You will partner closely with frontline leaders and control functions to deliver reliable, compliant, and human customer experiences across channels, improve cost-to-serve, and embed measurement and learning into the operating rhythm. You will ensure that service plans and change portfolios anticipate demand, protect customer outcomes, and align with regulatory expectations (such as Consumer Duty, DISP, and vulnerable customers), as well as internal governance.
We offer flexible, hybrid working, typically with two to three days per week in our Bristol Head Office, and the option to work from home on other days. Occasional travel to our Group Head Office in the Netherlands may be required to support collaboration with our international colleagues.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and implement a new TBUK customer service strategy and structure, aligning with the Fit For Impact framework and in collaboration with the Head of Customer Services.
- Develop and maintain a 12–24-month Customer Services strategy and roadmap, setting clear customer experience standards and service design principles, and ensuring alignment with the bank’s digital and data strategies.
- Lead continuous improvement initiatives, working with relevant teams to effectively plan, schedule, and embed change, with a focus on increasing customer self-service and reducing low-value contact.
- Lead and work with the existing Knowledge Manager to create a knowledge management support function, including strategy, content lifecycle, and process optimisation, to improve customer service and reduce costs.
- Manage forecasting, capacity planning, and real-time management across all service channels; produce actionable insights and reports to inform decision-making.
- Oversee Customer Communications, ensuring effective alignment with strategy and ensuring regular reviews and updates are performed.
- Act as the main point of contact for compliance activities, coordinate improvement actions, manage third-party contracts, and deputise for the Head of Customer Services as required. Line Manage key roles within the Strategy and Experience Team.
What We’re Looking For:
You will be a proactive leader with significant experience delivering outstanding customer service within financial services at management level. You will bring a solid understanding of banking, compliance, and regulatory requirements, as well as a genuine commitment to making a positive impact and supporting the Triodos mission and values.
Key skills and experience include:
- Proven ability to design and implement effective, multi-channel customer service strategies and frameworks
- Strong communication skills, able to engage across all levels, including executive and Board audiences
- Practical knowledge of UK banking regulation (such as Consumer Duty and DISP) and experience translating policy into robust controls and governance
