• Drive delivery against customer commitments, contractual obligations, and agreed success metrics.
• Establish and monitor key performance indicators, service levels, and customer health measures.
• Lead the customer reporting process, ensuring accurate and meaningful insights support customer decision-making and business outcomes.
• Act as the escalation point for strategic customer issues, driving resolution through effective cross-functional collaboration.

Product & Solution Governance

• Represent customer requirements and advocate for customer needs within Product, Engineering, and Delivery teams.
• Prioritise and govern customer demand, including product enhancements, maintenance releases, service improvements, and solution development initiatives.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define innovative and scalable solutions that address complex customer requirements.
• Provide oversight of customer change initiatives to ensure successful execution and delivery.

Operational Excellence & Risk Management
• Serve as the first line of defence for operational, commercial, financial, and customer-related risks across the assigned portfolio.
• Monitor service performance against agreed SLAs and KPIs, ensuring operational resilience and service stability.
• Identify risks, dependencies, and improvement opportunities, implementing mitigation plans where required.
• Partner with Risk, Compliance, Legal, and Operational teams to ensure adherence to governance and regulatory requirements.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives that enhance customer outcomes, operational effectiveness, and service quality.
