Manchester, United Kingdom CV-Library Full time

Are you looking for your next Head of Customer challenge, combining your experience of customer insight and how to embed that into action across the organisation and support decisions being made? Have you got a passion for managing our Contact Centre, giving first class customer service, managing the customer experience and technology supporting our customer travel information? Yes then read on…

Our new Head of Customer role will bring your expertise and leadership to develop and deliver at pace, our new customer experience strategy to increase and diversify how people travel across, through and around Greater Manchester. Changing behaviours, so that more people move from the car to bus, tram, walking and cycling, by making the experience better across every touch point.

Who are we?

Transport for Greater Manchester delivers the transport strategy and commitments for Greater Manchester. We keep Greater Manchester moving and thriving, by working with bus, tram and train operators, managing 'Key Routes', making walking and cycling safer, supporting GM's economy, reducing transport related air-pollution and investing for the future. We help keep Greater Manchester a world-class city region

We're now facing critical challenges. Since Covid, fewer people use public transport. We need to change this by adapting and developing our products and services to better meet the needs of our communities, businesses and commuters. This will help GM to breathe easier, work more effectively and play better whilst giving us the critical revenue needed to keep investing for the future and developing services for today. Greater Manchester is leading the way in public transport, taking buses back under local control and more is planned to improve rail across our city region. There has never been a better time to join TfGM.

Your Role

As our Head of Customer you will be focused on customer strategy, customer culture, customer service, engagement, insight and customer information. Head of Customer Service will need to understand the diversity of our current and potential customers, while engaging politicians, local communities and businesses within TfGM areas. Keeping your eye on other organisations and sectors to ensure that we are always innovating and driving continual improvement and best in class experiences. Your extensive customer strategy experience, putting the customer at the heart of organisations and driving operational and cultural change off the back of insight. You should have demonstrable experience with technology in a customer space and how it can be used to improve the customer experience and save costs. Our Head of Customer could come from any sector with high volume/low cost transactions, often based on non-price factors - quality, convenience, comfort, safety, reliability etc, and a smaller range of products or services, with clearly defined competitors, although travel information experience would be an advantage.

• Excellent relationship and partnership skills, to put the customer at the heart of the organisation.

• Experience of customer information, across different channels including printed and digital.

• Good experience of a digital offer and using technology to enhance the customer experience and reduce costs.

• Travel information knowledge of real time data systems would be an advantage.

• A passion for the wider social and economic impact of this role
