About this role
Renewals Expert
What we do. Electric Car Leasing
Why we do it. Greener. Fairer. Future.
You will be joining our newly established Driver Success Team, a dedicated team responsible for maximising customer retention and satisfaction at the end of their lease agreement. Existing customers are not 'new leads'; they require a strategic, relationship-based approach, not a standard sales call. Your goal will be to convert upcoming lease renewals, win back 'controllable' leavers, and renew relationships by resolving issues directly, ensuring a great experience that encourages drivers to stay. This is a hybrid role, with 3 days per week based in our Weybridge office.
What you'll do
Your primary focus will be on relationship management, retention, and turning customers into advocates:
-
Actively manage the pipeline of end-of-lease customers, advising and supporting them through the renewal of their electric vehicle lease.
-
Manage renewals, end-of-lease extensions, and retention across all of our leasing products, including salary sacrifice, consumer, and BCH offerings. This will require a strong understanding of the varying finance products available and the ability to confidently manage and adapt to different customer types across each product line.
-
Engage with long-term customers, focusing on a relationship-based approach to understand their experience and future needs.
-
Proactively work to win back lost customers, repairing relationships, and converting 1-star experiences into 5-star renewals, turning detractors into advocates.
-
Take ownership of a shared team goal, actively working with your peers to deliver the highest possible % Renewal Rate for the business.
-
Following up with all customers in a prompt manner and matching drivers with their ideal car based on their needs.
-
Be customer obsessed, through consistently demonstrating next level care, understanding, and service to ensure drivers have every reason to stay and continue their journey with us
