The role

As Journey/Value Chain Manager KPN EEN, you provide direction to an important part of the end-to-end customer journey and the underlying value chain. You combine customer journey management, value chain management, and data-driven improvement to make service for business customers easier, smarter, and more proactive. In doing so, you accelerate the application of AI, digitalization, and automation and translate customer and chain needs into concrete improvements and requirements.

You look beyond teams, processes, systems, and contact channels, and make it clear where customers get stuck and where the greatest opportunities for improvement lie. Together with stakeholders, you determine which improvements yield the most value and provide substantive direction on how the customer journey should further develop. You bring the right parties together, assess together with experts which solutions fit the desired customer and chain outcomes, and ensure that improvements are actually realized.

What you'll do

In this role:

  • You make the performance of the customer journey and underlying value chain transparent and map out the structural causes of problems
  • You translate customer feedback, data, and operational signals into a prioritized improvement agenda
  • You provide substantive direction to the development of the customer journey and translate customer and chain needs into clear requirements
  • Together with Operations, Digital, Products, and IT, you assess which solutions best align with these requirements
  • You identify opportunities where AI, automation, and digitalization can remove customer friction or reduce operational effort
  • You translate AI opportunities into concrete use cases and help bring these quickly from idea to experiment and implementation
  • You bring various chain partners together around common goals and direct cross-chain improvements
  • You monitor dependencies, progress, and results, and test whether improvements actually deliver the desired impact
  • You look ahead to the customer journey of the future and investigate where new technology can fundamentally improve or simplify existing journeys

In this way, you ensure that KPN EEN not only continuously improves today's service, but also accelerates towards an increasingly digital and AI-driven service.

Functie-eisen

You are someone who knows how to quickly get to the core of complex issues. In doing so, you always look from the perspective of the customer AND from the perspective of value for KPN. You get energy from connecting different disciplines and know how to provide direction even without formal authority. You are curious about new technology and quickly see where AI or automation can make a difference. At the same time, you remain critical: technology is not an end in itself. Ultimately, the result for the customer and the organization is what counts.
