- Develop and maintain senior-level relationships with new and existing members, effectively addressing issues, crafting solutions, and implementing agreed-upon actions.
- Lead the resolution of customer complaints and represent Virgin Australia at client and industry events, enhancing the company's reputation and client satisfaction.

**What you need to be successful**:

- Adaptive mindset and ability to drive out a meaningful pathway for internal and external stakeholders.
- Experience in a Sales Management or Client Services Management role.
