Drive continual improvement into the WTS processes and operations in line with Dyson’s growth
Establish and maintain strong relationships with the employee and business stakeholders, ensuring regular communication of service requirements, service improvements, risks, service changes, service outages and service issues.
Work with project teams to help ensure new WTS and capabilities are successfully introduced to add value for the business and user community
Deliver service for workplace technology operations that ensure simple and effective solutions for end users
Reporting to the Head of Customer Care, this person is proactive with experience of driving the best care for internal customers in Workplace Technology Services. It is likely that this role will grow to take on a wider Customer Care portfolio across other service lines in DBS.
This role delivers solutions to meet customers’ requirements, improves the way people work and simplifies access to workplace solutions. This person will use their knowledge and feedback received from customers to drive transformation of services leading to increased effectiveness and quality of Workplace Technology Services.
The objective of the role is to be responsible for the customer engagement and satisfaction levels, with a core focus on driving improvement in delivery quality and effectiveness, addressing customers feedback and needs. To deliver this objective, the key responsibilities include:
Deliver excellence in customer experience and how that can be delivered to WTS customers. Have a customer-first service driven mindset. This includes the quality, timeliness and frequency of communication and should be measured through the lens of the customer, to ensure that perception aligns with reality
Understanding the experience and needs of customers, ensuring service delivery is aligned with business needs, prioritising desired and agreed stakeholders’ requirements.
Understand key challenges and goals of each of the main business areas and the role WTS plays in supporting users, executives and the Dyson Family to meet these goals.
Be the local point of contact to raise concerns about WTS service, prioritisation requests and then ensuring these projects, requests and incidents are proactively and successfully executed by the teams responsible. This role should be regarded as being someone who is a “fixer and enabler”. This means ensuring the efficient and proactive coordination of issues, removal of barriers, escalating appropriately, holding others to account, and where necessary, acting as liaison between other parts of WTS, DBS and wider IT functions.
Act as the voice of the customer back in to WTS and DBS, examining and challenging current ways of working, understanding and aligning the WTS service with business needs and driving adoption of WTS change in the business. This requires collaboration with Digital Workplace Solutions to suggest and deliver innovations that will improve experience of end users. This requires working closely with the regional user communities and teams from the business to develop and deliver short, medium, and long-term plans for improving the effectiveness and efficiency of workplace technology services and following up through to completion.
Supporting stakeholders and their teams through periods of technology change. This involves working with Dyson IT Project teams (both within DBS and IT overall), who are introducing new workplace technology services and capabilities, to ensure that business requirements and change impacts have been fully considered throughout the project. This includes user aspects such as useability, reliability, performance and ensuring that business change, communication, user adoption and effective early life support is not forgotten in the process and that this work is done from project onset, not just when the capability is introduced.
Be data-insight driven in assessing and improving the service. Use and leverage other available quantitative and qualitative data sources to help identify initiatives and make recommendations for improvement. Encourage this data-insight approach within the WTS teams.
Identify and review key risks impacting end users and proactively ensure they are being managed and resolved effectively by relevant IT teams and ensure that your customer care ambassadors are managing this effectively within their regions. Hold the service teams to account for successful risk and issue mitigation, where necessary organising proactive additional business and user support required from the service operations teams.
Be continually aware of service performance including real-time service status – key risks, issues, service challenges, changes and KPI performance. Be ready to act on issues and take remedial action.
