- Build compelling business cases to support retention initiatives
- Influence and manage a matrix of internal stakeholders across pricing, product, insurance, and finance
- Understand customer behaviours and reasons for churn, and translate complex insights into clear, actionable strategies
- Optimise retention processes, including those managed by our third-party administrator (MSG)
What You’ll Bring
