About the role

 - Act as case management system product owner, working with services and Digital colleagues to improve automation, insight and system performance. 
 - Drive continuous improvement: redesign processes, strengthen governance, tackle non-compliance, and embed learning and action planning with services. 
 - Lead on analysis and reporting—spotting themes, causes and opportunities for improvement, and presenting insight to senior leadership and political forums (e.g. DMTs, briefings and boards). 
 - Horizon scan for best practice and legislative / policy change in the complaints and Ombudsman landscape, translating learning into practical operational improvements. 
 
What we’re looking for 
 
You’ll bring: 
 
 - Strong people leadership—able to coach, motivate and set clear expectations and performance standards. 
 - Extensive experience of complaint handling in a public sector (or similarly complex) environment, including statutory and Ombudsman complaints. 
 - Proven service improvement and change management capability with evidence of tangible results. 
 - Confidence using data and insight to drive improvement, produce clear reports, and present to senior stakeholders. 
 - Excellent stakeholder management skills, including an understanding of local government decision-making and the different roles of members and officers. 
 - Budget and resource management capability, with an eye on value, prioritisation and outcomes. 
 - A customer-focused, resolution-based mindset—and the ability to communicate clearly and courteously with residents in spoken English. 
 
Desirable: experience of digitally transforming access to services, particularly for customers who may need additional support or adjustments.
