Customer Outcomes Manager

Customer Outcomes Manager

About the role

The Customer Outcomes Manager will lead how Octopus Money supports clients through vulnerability, bereavement, and life’s hardest moments – building and continuously improving the kind of service we’d want our own families to receive.

That means balancing empathy with operational rigour, questioning whether we're doing enough for clients, and having the courage to improve things when we can do better.

This is a unique dual role – part strategic and part hands-on. You'll own the frameworks, processes and governance that underpin great customer outcomes, while also working directly with clients and handling complex cases.

You'll begin by embedding this approach in our Execution Only investing proposition, then expand it across all client-facing areas of the business.

This is not a Compliance role. Compliance defines what we need to achieve, but you will own how we deliver it in practice by building capability across the business.

About you

You have first hand experience supporting clients through some of life's hardest moments. You see beyond the process to the person.

You're comfortable wearing multiple hats at once: for example, working through the detail of a complex client case while you build a framework that stops the next one going wrong. 

You set a high bar for yourself and others and can prove the difference you’ve made, not just describe it.

You’re energised by making things simpler, and you thrive in fast-paced environments with high levels of individual accountability.
