Description

My client, an energy trading company based in Sunbury, requires a CRM Product Manager who will be a critical player to ensure appropriate design, solution build and oversight of the CRM tool towards the implementation. The role is pivotal in driving the agenda of modernisation and improved user experience.

Role synopsis

My client is part way through a programme of HR Modernisation. The workplace and the workforce are changing at an incredible pace. The scale and scope of change over the next five years is likely to eclipse that of the last twenty. By 2020, millennials, the majority of whom would prioritise flexibility around how, when, and where they work over pay; will account for 50% of the working population. In general, employees are expecting the same functionality, accessibility, and versatility at work as they do when shopping or banking online for instance. The role of technology is central to our own modernisation journey. We have some important decisions to take around what we decide to pursue.
Very simply, we're modernising our function to adapt to changes in the workforce and workplace to ensure we're positioned to add maximum value to company moving forward. Embracing technology to drive efficiency and improve the end-user experience.Adopting an operating model that allows the right work to be done by the right person in the right location. Focussing our time and effort where it really counts. And feeling confident that the HR function we're continuing to build will be even better than the one we have today.
