Digital Experience Lead

Join us in our mission to help us make digital services easier, simpler and better for our customers. At Yorkshire Housing, we're all about making it possible for people to have a place they're proud to call home.

We're looking for a Digital Experience Lead to help shape and improve the digital services our customers use every day. From our Customer Portal to our Knowledge Platform and customer-facing systems, you'll make sure our digital channels work brilliantly, solve real customer problems and deliver a great experience.

This isn't a role where you'll simply talk about improvements. You'll lead them.

Working as part of a small, ambitious team, you'll take ownership of digital products, coordinate delivery, use customer insight and performance data to identify opportunities, and make sure every change delivers a better experience for our customers.

What you'll be doing

No two days will look the same, but you can expect to:

• Own the day-to-day management and development of our Customer Portal
• Lead improvements to customer-facing digital journeys, making them easier, clearer and more effective
• Work closely with technical teams to turn customer and business requirements into working solutions
• Manage digital releases, testing and continuous improvements
• Help redesign customer-facing processes, forms and case management journeys
• Lead the implementation and ongoing management of our Knowledge Platform
• Use data, reporting and customer feedback to identify what's working and where we need to improve
• Create customer communications and adoption campaigns that encourage self-service and digital engagement
• Support colleagues to confidently guide customers through our digital channels

What we're looking for

We're looking for someone who combines digital thinking with practical delivery skills.

You'll be passionate about creating great customer experiences and comfortable rolling your sleeves up to make improvements happen.

You'll need:

• Experience managing digital products, platforms or customer-facing systems
• A strong understanding of digital delivery and continuous improvement
• Experience working with CRM systems such as Salesforce or similar platforms
• The ability to use insight, data and customer feedback to drive decisions
• Experience improving customer journeys, processes or service experiences
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
• A collaborative approach and the confidence to work across teams
• Experience coaching, mentoring or developing others
• A commitment to accessibility, inclusion and making digital services work for everyone.

It'd be great if you also had

• Experience using AI or automation tools to improve customer experiences
• Knowledge of housing, public services or other regulated environments
• Experience in service design or journey mapping
• Experience creating standard operating procedures and customer service processes.
