Client Experience Manager

Whether you are grabbing your first coffee in Sydney, trying to beat Brisbane traffic, or just pretending your inbox is not already judging you, the job is the same. Great customer experience does not happen by accident.

Our customers do not judge us by one ticket, one project or one interaction. They judge us by the overall experience of working with First Focus.

We are looking for someone who can turn customer feedback and insight into meaningful improvements that make that experience easier, faster, more consistent and more proactive.

You will lead our customer experience strategy and execution across our delivery teams. You will combine customer feedback with operational data to identify where improving the customer experience will have the biggest impact, ensuring those insights shape decisions, drive continuous improvement and strengthen a customer-first culture.

We call this a Super-Green experience, one that is easy, fast, consistent and keeps customers informed every step of the way.

This is a cross-functional role, reporting to the Chief Experience Officer. You will not manage delivery teams directly, but you will have the mandate to influence priorities, hold teams accountable for customer outcomes, and bring your own ideas for how to get there.

First Focus has grown into a team of nearly 500 people across Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines, and we are proud to be recognised as Australia’s #1 ranked mid-market MSP by Cloudtango for nine years running.

We have spent more than 15 years building a business that is stable, trusted and still growing. Smart people get the trust to do their jobs properly, backed by supportive leadership, real development and not too much of the usual workplace theatre.

Our values matter here, especially Wow the Customer, Be the Solution and Never Stop Growing. You can learn more about them here: https://www.firstfocus.com.au/about-us/
