Nest is an equal opportunity employer. We are disability confident committed and encourage applicants from all the nine protected characteristics. Applications from part time workers and job shares are welcome.

For internal candidates the salary will be dependent upon experience - NEST level B6.

The Customer Engagement directorate brings together teams that are responsible for setting the strategy and defining NEST’s proposition for different customer segments, delivering product and service changes that improve our customers’ experience, and designing and delivering a targeted customer engagement approach, marketing campaigns and activity to support NEST’s objectives.

There are two core customer experience teams: one for Employers & Intermediaries, and one for Members. Each is headed by a Director who owns the end to end customer experience across all our delivery channels for their respective customer group. These teams set the proposition and strategies for delivering changes to our product, online experience (both PAW, TAW and help centres) and work with colleagues in Service Delivery to agree the servicing model and standards (which is then overseen day to day by the Service Delivery department).  The teams also set the marketing strategies and objectives for their customer groups, and, working with the Marketing Creative Services team, implement tactical integrated marketing plans.

 

As part of the shift to focus on the customer experience the Employer and Intermediary team also includes our Business Development and Account Management function.

provide customer and market insight, providing an evidence base to inform our proposition development and then support the A/B testing of new elements

Delivering the customer experience is the largest part of the Directorate and has around 55-60 staff. It also oversees significant budgets, for product change, research, marketing campaigns, propositional development and digital improvements. As a result, we have a strong focus on ensuring there are robust business cases for changes, and that we set and monitor KPIs to ensure we achieve business objectives and value for money.

NEST is a great UK success story.  

Established in 2010, NEST is a critical pillar of the Government’s automatic enrolment programme, with a public service obligation (PSO) to accept any employer wishing to use the scheme to discharge their automatic enrolment duties.   From a standing start, we have delivered a high quality, low cost pension scheme open to all, which has not only delivered on its mission, but has also helped to drive up standards and best practice across the industry. Now with over 6 million members and well over half a million participating employers, NEST is playing a critical role in helping people save for their retirement - many of them low to moderate earners who may be saving for the first time, and moving jobs frequently.   NEST now occupies an important place in the pensions market and will deliver high quality pensions to mass market consumers for many years to come, leveraging its scale to deliver value through the combination of low costs, market leading investment solutions and modernised services all overseen by strong Trustee governance.
