This will include the opportunity to help develop the end to end client journey and transform & re-imagine CRM through AI and new service offerings. The postholder will work closely with BD, Marketing, practice groups, Data, Engineering and Architecture to identify high-value problems, prioritise opportunities, improve end-to-end workflows and ensure the underlying data and integrations are trusted, scalable and compliant. The role combines strategic product management, stakeholder leadership and people leadership.
