You will work closely with technical teams across Quality, Process, and Supplier Quality, while leading a small team that supports investigation activity. The role is focused on ensuring that the customer experience is consistent, transparent, and built on trust.

Key Responsibilities

• Acting as the single point of contact for customers on all quality‑related matters

• Coordinating customer and warranty investigations, ensuring activities are aligned and delivered effectively

• Leading and supporting a small team responsible for investigation support activities

• Working with technical experts to gather data, insight, and findings

• Translating technical information into clear, structured communication for the customer

• Ensuring a joined‑up internal response, aligning teams across Quality, Process, and Supplier Quality

• Driving timely resolution of issues, with a focus on root cause and permanent fixes

• Acting as the voice of the customer internally, ensuring customer expectations are understood and reflected in decision‑making

You will:

• Have a genuine interest in understanding and representing customer needs

• Be able to coordinate multiple activities and stakeholders, keeping things aligned and moving forward

• Be confident communicating with both technical teams and customers, simplifying complex information where needed

• Take a structured approach to problem‑solving, with a focus on finding and addressing root cause

• Be organised, proactive, and comfortable working in a fast‑moving environment

• Demonstrate the ability to lead, guide, and support others in delivering consistent outcomes

Experience in manufacturing, quality, engineering, or customer‑facing roles would be beneficial, but attitude, ownership, and approach are equally important.
