    Head of Research, Consultancy & SalesFairer Finance
    London, United KingdomFull Time
    In my current role at Fairer Finance I am responsible for three separate departments and seven direct reports. Firstly, I’m responsible for all research output, including our Customer Experience Ratings, our product ratings, our Clear & Simple Mark, & insight platform. I have managed numerous highly successful and impactful research projects. I created a new system for rating financial products. I also designed and created an insight software tool we now sell to many financial services providers. I am also responsible for the consultancy aspect of our business. In this work we help some of the UK’s largest banks and insurers to re-invent how they engage with customers. I have run multiple projects for Lloyds Banking Group, HSBC, First Direct, More Than, and others. The work we do is innovative, ground-breaking and turns unique research findings into strategies for companies. We also work with financial providers helping them develop new products, assessing how they would fit into the market and predicting their performance. Finally, I am also responsible for the sales function of the business. I have developed this department from scratch, creating and executing our sales strategy and implementing it successfully.
