Do you get a little too excited about improving customer satisfaction scores, solving root causes instead of symptoms, and helping people get the most out of technology?

We're looking for a Team Lead End User Experience to bring together DOC's Service Desk, IT Training, and Business Engagement functions into one high-performing team focused on delivering exceptional technology experiences across Aotearoa. This is a unique leadership opportunity that blends people leadership, service management, customer experience, technology adoption, and change leadership. Working closely with business groups, technology teams, project leads, vendors, and Māori partners, you'll combine operational excellence with people leadership to deliver a seamless end-user experience across the organisation to ensure DOC people can focus on what matters most: protecting and restoring nature.

The position will be focussed on:

• Leading and integrating the Service Desk and Business Engagement & Training functions into a cohesive, customer-focused team

• Driving service excellence through effective incident, problem, request, and service performance management

• Championing technology adoption by delivering engaging training, communication, and change initiatives that build capability and confidence

• Partnering with stakeholders across DOC to understand business needs, influence solutions, and improve user experiences

• Using data, insights, and feedback to continuously improve services, identify trends, manage risks, and deliver measurable outcomes
