Come and make a difference at Karbonas the Head of Customer Experience
We're looking for an inspiring and experienced leader to join us as our Head of Customer Experience. This is a rare opportunity to shape how customers experience Karbon, influence change across the organisation and make a lasting difference to people’s lives.
Our Customer Experience team works in collaboration across Karbon to listen to customers and colleagues, learn from their experiences and deliver meaningful improvements that matter.
About The Role
We’re looking for an exceptional Head of Customer Experience to lead the development and delivery of our Customer Experience strategy, shaping how we listen to customers, improve services and build a strong customer culture across the organisation.
This is a visible, high-impact leadership role for someone who can combine strategic thinking with practical delivery. You will lead our approach to customer insight, complaints learning, digital customer experience and service improvement — turning feedback into action and making sure the customer voice drives real, lasting change.
You’ll work across the organisation to influence leaders, build trusted relationships and create the conditions for others to take ownership of improvement — helping to shape services that work better for customers and colleagues alike.
About You
This role will suit a values-led, strategic and highly collaborative leader who is passionate about putting customers at the heart of every decision. You’ll be curious, insight-driven and motivated by making a visible difference — someone who can turn customer feedback, complaints and performance data into meaningful service improvement. You’ll bring the confidence to influence at every level, the credibility to lead change across the organisation and the energy to champion a strong customer culture across the Group. You’ll be equally comfortable setting direction and delivering results, with strengths in leadership, coaching, stakeholder engagement, digital customer experience, service design and performance improvement. Above all, you’ll be a positive role model who lives our values, inspires others and brings pace, empathy and accountability to your work.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a leader who enjoys building capability, cultivating trust and empowering others to deliver better outcomes for customers — someone who knows that lasting change happens through collaboration, shared ownership and strong relationships.
Working With Us
You’ll be part of our Customer Experience team, led by Wendy Graham, Group Director of Customer Experience. If you’d like an informal conversation about the role, feel free to reach out to Wendy at
