Nottingham – Hybrid (3 days onsite: Tues-Thurs)

I’m hiring a Complaints Insight Specialist to join a leading financial services organisation, working at the heart of how the business understands and improves customer outcomes.

This role sits within a Complaints Process & Insight team, using customer complaints as a powerful tool to identify issues, uncover trends, and drive meaningful improvements across the organisation.

The role

This is a customer insight role in an operational environment, focused on:

  • Analysing complaints data
  • Identifying root causes of customer issues
  • Recommending improvements to reduce future complaints

You won’t be pulling or engineering the data – instead, you’ll be taking available data and turning it into clear, actionable insight for stakeholders.

What you’ll be doing
  • Analyse complaints data to identify trends, patterns, and root causes of issues
  • Produce clear insights and recommendations to improve customer outcomes
  • Support operational teams in identifying opportunities to reduce complaints and improve processes
  • Work closely with stakeholders across operations and strategy to deliver insight projects
  • Present findings through reports, presentations, and storytelling
  • Contribute to improving complaints strategy and overall customer experience
Where you fit

You’ll be part of a team of specialists focused on:

  • Experience delivering insight and recommendations, not just reporting
  • Excellent communication and storytelling skills
  • Ability to work with stakeholders and translate insight into action

Very strong preference

  • Experience in complaints, customer operations, or service environments
  • Experience in financial services or regulated industries
  • Strong understanding of root cause analysis and process improvement

Nice to have

  • Experience working with operational datasets (even in Excel)
  • Basic exposure to SQL (but not heavily technical roles)

This role is not suited to heavily technical analysts – it’s about insight, not engineering.

What they’re looking for in a candidate
  • 3-5 years’ experience (4-5 ideal)
  • Someone who’s“sparky” and curious – able to challenge and go deeper
  • Comfortable working with real business problems and ambiguity
  • Strong examples of taking data → insight → recommendation → impact
Why this role
  • Work in a data‑driven organisation where customer insight drives change
  • High visibility across operations and strategy teams
  • Opportunity to influence real customer outcomes and business processes
  • Strong learning and progression opportunities
Interview process
  • Online assessment (situational judgement)
  • Behavioural / job‑fit interview
  • Final in‑person case study (focused on operational data and insight)
Working style
  • 3 days per week in Nottingham office (Tues-Thurs)
  • Collaborative, team‑focused environment
