  • Lead the resolution of service issues, including developing and implementing service recovery or “get well” plans where required.
  • Work with Integration and Deployment teams to ensure smooth onboarding of new services and controlled service transitions.
  • Produce and present service performance reports and management information to customers.
  • Identify opportunities to improve service performance, productivity and cost efficiency.
  • Act as the escalation point for major service delivery issues.
  • Ensure accurate and timely billing for services delivered and support effective management of account revenue.
  • Support growth opportunities within existing accounts, working alongside sales teams where appropriate.
  • Maintain awareness of customer priorities, market trends and competitor activity.
  • Provide leadership and guidance to team members supporting the account to ensure high performance and strong collaboration.

Requirements

What we're looking for

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
