Tokyo IFS Full time

Job Description

The Customer Office operates as a part of Unified Support, with a primary responsibility for managing the support relationship with IFS customers. Its core mission is to enhance customer satisfaction and maximize lifetime value, thereby fostering customer retention and renewals. A crucial aspect of this function is managing Engagement Advisory and Account Escalations, which ensures a strong and enduring customer relationship by providing assurance and effective control in challenging situations.

The Customer Office serves as a bridge between customers and IFS, working to align our organization's efforts with customer expectations and needs. Through its functions and initiatives, it aims to create a customer-centric culture within IFS, driving continuous improvement and ultimately delivering greater value to our customers. The De-Escalation & Engagement Advisory Manager is hybrid role covering two key functions within the Customer Office:

Engagement Advisory - where the goal is to increase customer satisfaction and lifetime value, ultimately to drive retention and renewals by working in a pooled model servicing many customers to help them achieve successful outcomes for their business. Operating programmatically and prescriptively to increase customer satisfaction and lifetime value, ultimately driving retention and renewals.

Account Escalation - handling high business impact customer situations that cannot be resolved by the standard support function. It comes into play when customer issues have escalated to a critical level that necessitates intervention across all involved parties to restore normal operations with complete confidence in IFS. Hence, it has specific entry and exit criteria to ensure effective management.
