This role is responsible for managing a portfolio of customer firms, leading relationships with key firm operational teams and delivering at pace.

In order to do this, you’ll have a deep understanding of firm businesses, our technology capability and our ops, product and engineering functions to ensure strong collaborative delivery.
In this commercially significant role, you’ll be our customers’ go-to escalation point, a cross-functional problem solver and be at the forefront of spear heading delivery improvements for ongoing customer experience excellence.
