He angitūtanga: The opportunity
Auckland Council’s Group Shared Services’ Customer Experience and Digital Services division has an exciting opportunity for a Channel Impact Advisor to help shape service delivery across the organisation. 

 

In this role, you’ll represent Customer Experience & Digital Services on enterprise initiatives, working closely with the Senior Channel Impact Advisor, Customer Experience & Digital Services Leads, and the wider Channel Excellence team.

In this role, you’ll work closely with business partners across Auckland Council and Auckland Transport to ensure CX&DS has the right information, at the right time, to effectively support customer enquiries.

Working alongside subject matter experts and the Channel Excellence team, you’ll help ensure changes are fit-for-purpose, customer impacts are understood, and services are ready to go live.
