As a Renewals Expert, you'll manage end-of-lease customer relationships, enhance customer retention, support lease renewals, and actively win back lost customers, ensuring a positive experience throughout.
What we do. Electric Car Leasing
Why we do it. Greener. Fairer. Future.
You will be joining our newly established Driver Success Team, a dedicated team responsible for maximising
customer retention and satisfaction at the end of their lease agreement.
Existing customers are not 'new leads';
they require a strategic, relationship-based approach, not a standard sales call. Your goal will be to convert
upcoming lease renewals, win back 'controllable' leavers, and renew relationships by resolving issues directly,
ensuring a great experience that encourages drivers to stay.
What you'll do...
- Your primary focus will be on relationship management, retention, and turning customers into advocates:
- Actively manage the pipeline of end-of-lease customers, advising and supporting them through the renewal of their electric vehicle lease.
- Manage renewals, end-of-lease extensions, and retention across all of our leasing products, including salary sacrifice, consumer, and BCH offerings. This will require a strong understanding of the varying finance products available and the ability to confidently manage and adapt to different customer types across each product line.
- Engage with long-term customers, focusing on a relationship-based approach to understand their experience and future needs.
- Proactively work to win back lost customers, repairing relationships, and converting 1-star experiences into 5-star renewals, turning detractors into advocates.
- Take ownership of a shared team goal, actively working with your peers to deliver the highest possible % Renewal Rate for the business.
- Following up with all customers in a prompt manner and matching drivers with their ideal car based on their needs.
- Be customer obsessed, through consistently demonstrating next level care, understanding, and service to ensure drivers have every reason to stay and continue their journey with us
What you'll need...
- A genuine passion for customer experience and a strong commitment to doing the basics well for a great customer experience, and want to retain our customer base.
- The ability to match drivers with their ideal next car and clearly articulate the benefits of continuing their lease.
- Solution focused approach to challenging conversations, especially when dealing with customers whose previous service experience has fallen short of expectations.
- Positively contribute to team culture and actively share knowledge and ways of working, supporting a team based goal structure.
- A proactive attitude towards taking ownership of your own learning and trying to find answers independently
Why else you'll love it here...

The reason why we don't advertise is because we honestly have a degree of flexibility and would never want salary to be a reason why someone doesn't apply to Octopus - what's more important to us is finding the right octofit!
