  • Regularly engage and present to key stakeholders to influence business change roadmaps, outlining emerging audience insights, opportunities and threats

Experience working in a customer-centric role – such as product, proposition, customer experience, insight or service design – is critical, as is a track record of working in collaboratively with multiple teams to deliver against key business objectives. Experience working in financial services and with external research and design agencies would be advantageous.
