Customer CRM Manager

What we do. Electric Car Leasing

Why we do it. Greener. Fairer. Future.

We’re helping the masses to join the electric driving revolution and we need your help. We make it totally hassle free to switch to electric driving by giving customers the whole EV package. Car, charging, energy. The lot. 

We’re looking for a brilliant CRM Manager to help us deliver world-class customer journeys, communications and digital driver experiences. We want to build loyalty among our existing customers and make them into our biggest cheerleaders. 

Note: You’ll be joining our Business Operations team, with a dotted line into the marketing team - so you’ll learn from both angles.

What you'll do...

• Own all customer communications with our drivers, from business-critical journeys to value-add content, to enhance their experience of driving an Octopus EV 
• Measure and report back on effectiveness of all communications, demonstrating the impact on wider business KPIs including: 
• -Reducing cost to serve
• -Reducing inbound communication from customers 
• -Increasing customer engagement and advocacy 
• Manage all communications with drivers to make sure we contact them with the right message at the right time, and don’t bombard them
• Manage requests from across the business and prioritise the key communications that need to be built for our customers, ensuring a seamless journey alongside existing processes and customer journeys
• Explore new channels beyond email to communicate with our customers, and make recommendations for the most appropriate methods of communication based on the customer need and type of message 
• Brief copywriters, sub-edit and ensure all content is on brand and aligns to customer wants and needs - you’ll also need to be confident writing copy yourself
• Collaborate with the marketing team to create content in the most appropriate format to support customers throughout their experience with us
• Build and test journeys within our automation tools, linking complex datasets via Zapier to enable us to be as agile as possible 
• Manage the content on our knowledge hubs, ensuring customers have access to up to date, accurate content to support them
• Analyse the effectiveness of our knowledge hubs and identify ways to increase engagement and reduce inbound communication 
• Create best in class customer experiences by developing value-add content, sprinkling some Octopus magic to the journey
• Work with customer facing teams to improve quality of communication through both automation and self serve content for customers, and improving writing skills across the business
• Partner closely with our Risk & Compliance team to ensure we are taking all the right steps to communicate information accurately, fairly and with duty of care
• Tailor communication across multiple platforms to support vulnerable customers

What you'll need...

• Excellent communication skills: you need to write compelling briefs for copywriters to respond to and sub-edit content, and on occasion write copy from scratch 
• Self-starter: eager to learn and thrive in a high-challenge, high-support and fast paced environment, along with strong project management skills 
• Hands on: you’ll be happy to plan and communicate comms strategy alongside writing customer-facing copy and building journeys
• Methodical and meticulous: you’ll think through and document customer journeys and pick up any inconsistencies/clashes
• Ability to see the bigger picture: both in terms of what other teams across the business are trying to achieve and what’s best for customers; you’ll need the confidence to push back and prioritise based on customer need 
• Passion for CX: and appreciation for the magic we can deliver through content. Always focused on the customer need before the business requirements 
• Technical expertise: proficiency in using marketing automation tools and linking datasets across platforms (Zapier and HTML skills are a bonus)
