**The role**

We have an exciting leadership opportunity for an experienced **Head of Customer Service** to lead a large **Customer Service **operations department. Reporting into the Customer Operations Director as part of the Customer Operations leadership team, you will be responsible for Retail Customer Service and Retail Contract Hire customers, who have queries about their finance agreements. Queries range from a quick request for a settlement figure to complex queries relating to End of Contract options, Refinance / Extension requests, Credit Reference Agency interfaces and a number of other processes that require attention under service level agreements that you would expect from vehicles within the Volkswagen Group Brands

Colleagues are based in Milton Keynes and outsourced partners currently based in Swansea and Glasgow, with processes split between them that require assessment with an end to end customer view and a different way of working. You will have experience of process refinement and improvement with a customer and colleague lens, including automation and robotics, working with directly employed colleagues and outsource supplier partner arrangements

Customers will be at the heart of everything you do in our FCA regulated environment and you be aware of our regulatory obligations towards our customers and for our business. As part of the role, you will ensure that risks are highlighted and resolved in an open, honest and collaborative manner.

**This is a ‘Certified’ role under the Senior Manager and Certification Regime (SMCR) and the role holder is required to comply with the FCA’s Conduct Rules. A mandatory requirement of the SMCR is for VWFS to certify that the role holder is fit and proper to perform the duties on an ongoing basis.**

**About you**

You will have highly developed leadership skills and be able to communicate with all levels of colleagues throughout the organisation, with a focus on supporting and developing colleagues at the front end who are the voice of our customers. You will genuinely enjoy getting your hands dirty and understand colleague needs, but have the gravitas to make things happen with your excellent stakeholder management skills and expertise

As part of a tight Customer Operations leadership team, you will support your peer group who put the customer at the heart of everything we do, along with high colleague engagement focus before your own development and desires

**What’s in it for you?**

We are passionate about employee development and offer ongoing support and training to help people achieve their career aspirations. Whether that is to become the next leader within our business or to develop your current tool kit of skills, we support many cross-functional opportunities. We want you to achieve at your best and enjoy a successful career with us
