About the Opportunity

We're transforming the way we support our customers. As part of a wider organisational structure, we're building dedicated specialist teams - one focused on operational excellence, and one focused entirely on the customer relationship. The Key Accounts Supervisor is central to that second group.

This is a genuine opportunity to shape a newly established team. You'll lead a group of Key Account Support Officers who look after our most strategically significant customers - the accounts where service expectations are highest, contracts are most complex, and the relationship really matters.

About the Role

Reporting to the Customer Experience Manager, you'll be accountable for the day-to-day leadership of the Key Account Support team and for the service experience our contracted customers receive.

You'll balance hands-on support of your team with the strategic thinking needed to strengthen long-term customer relationships, protect retention, and drive continuous improvement.

Customer Relationship & Retention

- Prepare and contribute to customer performance reporting and account review meetings
- Analyse service trends, enquiry drivers and performance data to identify root causes and improvement opportunities
- Contribute to process design, SOPs and the ongoing maturity of the Key Account model
- Support customer feedback programs, including survey participation and acting on insights
