About the role:

Have you had successful experience in leading and in transforming customer experience? We are looking for an experienced Customer Experience leader to work within Selwyn Council's Venues and Events team. In this newly established role, you would work closely with the Head of Venues and Events and with the three Operations Managers to successfully lead the operation of 23 venues across the Selwyn District.

This is a full-time, 40 hours per week, role and would be ideal for someone who has relevant industry experience and is results driven, outcomes focused, and who is determined to make a positive difference within our urban and rural communities.

We're looking for someone who can monitor performance, be curious about trends, and seek out and attract opportunities. With potential facilities' users always at front of mind, the Customer Experience Lead will be someone who can notice when improvement is needed, can visualize what change could look like, can bring others along with the idea, and then can plan, project manage and implement new initiatives and opportunities. If you're good at this job, you'll be taking the whole team along on the customer experience journey with you. Better still, if you're used to partnering with others to achieve positive results - we'd love to hear from you.

• Seeking, collating, and reporting of feedback received in relation to all facilities.
• Coordinating the Venue and Events team's marketing.
• Building relationships with businesses to promote the facilities available.
• Managing the documentation and reporting associated with sponsorship.

About you:

You will have had strong and successful experience working in a customer service leadership role and you will have completed a relevant tertiary qualification. You'll be familiar with venues and events and will have skills and experience that can easily be transferred to this local government results-driven environment. We're looking for outstanding record keeping skills, administration practices, research skills and the ability to write effectively. You'll enjoy communicating to a variety of audiences and are able to adapt your style accordingly. Importantly, you'll enjoy change, new opportunities and leading performance improvement.
