I'm working with a high-growth business to secure their Head of Customer Insight & Activation to lead a major shift towards a truly customer-centric growth model.

This is a leadership role for someone who knows how to turn behavioural insight and segmentation into real commercial action - embedding customer understanding into acquisition, retention, cross-sell, and day-to-day decision-making across the business.

Your focus will be on activation, adoption, and change
: ensuring insight shapes strategy, operating models, priorities, and outcomes.

You will lead the activation of a new behavioural segmentation programme and play a pivotal role in reshaping how the organisation understands, engages, and grows its customer base. Working closely with the CMO, executive team, and cross-functional leaders, you’ll bridge strategy, insight, and execution
.

• Owning the activation roadmap for behavioural segmentation, ensuring measurable commercial impact
• Translating insight into clear customer strategies for acquisition, retention, and cross-sell
• Defining and embedding customer value metrics such as LTV, churn, retention uplift, and segment profitability
• Designing segmented customer journeys, contact strategies, and lifecycle frameworks
• Building playbooks that enable marketing, CRM, and product teams to act on insight
• Leading test-and-learn initiatives to continuously optimise customer engagement
• Supporting operating model design, governance, and capability building to embed customer-centric ways of working
• Acting as a senior advisor to leadership on insight, customer strategy, investment, and transformation

This role will suit someone who combines data centricity, commercial thinking, customer strategy, and change leadership
, with excellent data fluency to challenge and translate insight effectively.

• Experience in data-driven strategy; customer strategy, CRM, lifecycle leadership roles
• A proven track record of translating segmentation or behavioural insight into tangible commercial outcomes
• Strong experience influencing senior stakeholders and leading cross-functional change
  
  Deep understanding of customer lifecycle management, LTV, churn, and value optimisation
• Experience working with third-party analytics or data partners
• Confidence operating in transformation environments where ways of working need to evolve
• Experience in financial services, insurance, or subscription-based businesses is beneficial but not essential.

If you’ve helped move a business from product- or price-led to customer-led
, and you enjoy turning insight into action, we’d love to hear from you.
