- Champion scheme interests and be subject matter experts on EV Salsac to Growth teams & wider OEV departments
- Work with Sales & Ops to drive exceptional in-life experiences including preventing and driving fast resolution for complaints
- Recommend approaches to improve customer experience based on customer feedback and data
- Assist on, and co-own internal & external projects with manager support
- Own activities driving scheme satisfaction and enabling growth e.g. HR signatures, smooth end of leases, reporting and invoicing queries, escalations, scheme documentation
