- Provide a customer focussed approach to service users, providing expert guidance on the use of relevant systems and their application in a business environment.
- Be responsible for persuasion through clear evidence, negotiation and problem resolution with stakeholders regarding project system requirements which do not meet standards and identification of issues which require escalation.
Experience with the Civica CX system will be advantageous as well as experience within the public sector. The successful candidate must be able to demonstrate a sufficient level of experience and competence to perform this role autonomously.
