- Retention Excellence: Implement and lead a rigorous retention plan. You will ensure that customer feedback is acted upon promptly, utilising our existing tools and people to prevent account loss.
- Operational Execution: Focus on the "get and grow" philosophy while maintaining a visible presence in the field to motivate teams.
Requirements
- Bachelor's Degree in Business, Marketing, or a related field is required, with an MBA or Master's degree frequently preferred.
