right behaviours into everyday habits.You’ll work closely with managers, leaders, and Learning & Development to help make performance improvement practical, clear, and consistent.Why This Role

the confidence, skills, and commercial awareness needed to have better customer conversations and drive better outcomes.You’ll help people understand:what good customer ownership looks likehow to move

need to be comfortable using performance information to spot patterns and focus your coaching.This could include CRM activity, call quality, customer feedback, renewal progress, customer health, activity levels, target progress, new starter ramp, or manager feedback.The key is being able to turn insight into simple, practical action.Sharing best practiceYou’ll help create consistency by spotting what is working well and sharing it across teams.That might mean helping build coaching guides, call examples, conversation prompts, playbooks, checklists, or simple best-practice resources
