About the Role

Level: 4 Department: Operations - Process Improvement Location: Southampton Contract: Permanent As a Customer Journey Specialist, you will help Quilter understand, manage and improve priority customer and adviser journeys from end to end. You will bring together evidence from Voice of Customer insight, complaints, customer feedback, operational performance, risk events, failure demand, digital interactions and colleague expertise. You will use this evidence to identify where intervention is needed, define what better looks like and support accountable owners to deliver measurable improvements. You will maintain a clear view of each priority journey, including its purpose, customers and cohorts, key moments, ownership, performance measures, risks, pain points, improvement activity and target state. Journey maps will be maintained as living management tools that connect customer experience with operational delivery, rather than as standalone outputs. You will support journey owners through regular reviews and structured governance. This includes confirming ownership, assessing the strength of available evidence, identifying gaps, tracking improvement commitments and escalating material risks or barriers where progress is not being made. You will help develop and apply Quilter’s journey management approach, including journey prioritisation, maturity assessment and outcome measurement. You will balance customer experience, Consumer Duty, vulnerability, operational performance, cost, risk and strategic value to support transparent decisions about where the organisation should focus. You will work closely with Customer Experience and Insight, Voice of Customer, Customer Outcomes, Customer Inclusion, Operations, Operational Excellence, Change, Proposition, Digital, Technology, Risk and Compliance. You will connect journey insight to existing delivery routes and help ensure improvement activity is assessed at end-to-end journey level rather than only within individual functions. You will prepare clear, concise reporting for senior leaders and governance forums. You will be comfortable explaining the evidence, the customer and business impact, the confidence level of conclusions, recommended priorities and the action required. A strong understanding of Consumer Duty is essential. You will ensure foreseeable harm, customer understanding, consumer support, vulnerable customer needs and differential outcomes are considered throughout journey analysis, measurement and improvement.
