Leger Shearings Group | Management Appointment
Shape the customer experience agenda of a multi brand travel business at a pivotal moment of transformation and growth.
Leger Shearings Group is seeking an experienced and commercially astute Customer Experience leader to join our management team in a role with genuine influence, visibility and scope. This is a rare opportunity to define, embed and lead a group‑wide CX strategy within a well‑established organisation with strong heritage brands and ambitious growth plans.
This is not a role for a CX custodian. We are looking for a change leader—someone who has successfully built CX capability from a low maturity baseline, elevated customer thinking at all levels of the business, and hard wired customer outcomes into how a business operates, measures success and makes decisions.
The Opportunity:
As Group Customer Experience Manager, you will own end‑to‑end customer experience across all brands and touchpoints, from first interaction through post tour advocacy. You will:
- Set the vision, standards and governance for customer experience across the Group
- Lead a cultural transformation, embedding customer‑first thinking into strategy, operations, metrics and behaviours
- Translate customer insight into commercially impactful change—improving loyalty, retention, reputation and lifetime value
- Act as the voice of the customer at senior leadership and Board level, influencing priorities, investment decisions and performance management
What You Will Be Accountable For:
CX Strategy & Leadership
- Define and deliver a group wide CX strategy aligned to business growth, brand positioning and profitability
- Establish clear CX objectives, success measures and accountability at executive and operational levels
- Act as a senior sponsor for customer‑led change initiatives
- Build a robust, scalable insight framework using our CX platform, feedback, reviews and qualitative insight
- Lead customer journey mapping and redesign across priority journeys
- Identify systemic issues and translate insight into prioritised improvement plans
- Own key CX metrics (e.g. NPS, CSAT, complaints, retention) and connect them directly to financial performance
- Deliver compelling reporting and insight to the Senior Leadership Team and Board
- Ensure customer outcomes are reflected in scorecards, incentives and decision making
- Set the strategic approach to complaint handling and regulatory compliance
- Reduce complaint volumes through root‑cause resolution, not just process efficiency
- Ensure customer rights, fairness and reputational risk are actively managed
- Build CX capability across the organisation, not just within a central function
- Win hearts and minds, challenge legacy ways of working and drive sustained behavioural change
- Role‑model the Group’s mission and CARE values at all times
You are a senior CX professional who brings credibility, gravitas and a strong commercial mindset. You will likely have:
- A proven track record of leading CX transformation in a complex, multi‑touchpoint organisation
- Experience working with senior leadership or director level, with regular exposure to Boards or Exec committees
- Demonstrable success in embedding customer experience where maturity was previously low
- Strong analytical capability, with experience linking CX insight to financial and operational outcomes
- Deep understanding of complaint management, UK consumer protection and regulatory environments
- The confidence and influence to challenge senior stakeholders and drive cross functional change
Experience within travel, tourism or hospitality is highly desirable, alongside a genuine passion for delivering outstanding customer experiences.
What We Offer;
- Competitive salary up to £60,000 DOE
- Market leading travel benefits: up to £1,590 annually for you and your partner to experience a Leger Shearings Group tour, plus 5 additional days’ paid leave to enjoy it
- 27 days’ holiday (excluding public holidays), including paid leave for your birthday and Christmas Eve
- Senior‑level visibility, influence and the opportunity to leave a lasting legacy
- Ongoing professional development and executive level exposure
