- Liaise with sales, marketing, and Customer service colleagues to ensure the customer experience of selecting, trialling and purchasing our digital services is a seamless and simple process.
- Liaise with digital and product colleagues to identify and deliver product and service improvements, which enhance the user experience and increase customer retention and referral rates.
