We operate in an exciting and constantly evolving industry, where the pace of change brings new and unique challenges every day, so we operate using Agile ways of working to allow us to meet the fast-changing needs of our customers. Agile replaces the traditional hierarchical organisational structure to produce a transparent, collaborative environment with highly productive teams who are empowered to deliver better outcomes for our customers, communities, and all of New Zealand.

About the Role:

Customer Relationship Management: Build and maintain strong relationships with customers, serving as the primary point of contact for service-related inquiries, escalations, and account management.
Incident and Problem Resolution: Coordinate the resolution of service incidents and problems, leading response efforts, conducting root cause analysis, and implementing corrective actions to minimise impact and prevent recurrence.
Service Improvement Initiatives: Identify opportunities for service improvement and optimization based on customer feedback, industry best practices, and performance metrics, driving initiatives to enhance service quality and efficiency.
Service Performance Monitoring: Monitor service performance against SLAs, KPIs, and targets, analysing trends, identifying issues, and implementing corrective actions to maintain or improve service levels.
Change Management: Manage service changes, including requests, approvals, scheduling, and communication, ensuring minimal disruption to customer operations and adherence to change management processes.
Vendor and Partner Management: Collaborate with vendors and partners to ensure the timely delivery and quality of services, managing relationships, contracts, and escalations as needed.
