This is more than a merger; it’s a chance to build a new culture, a lasting legacy, and a best-in-class network for coverage, connectivity and reliability, powered by ambitious, values-led leadership. Within this transformation, Commercial Decision Support sits at the heart of Finance Operations, acting as the commercial conscience of the business and holding the organisation to account on performance across the credit risk, billing and collections lifecycle. The team is highly data-driven, blending commercially astute analytics with a relentless performance-improvement mindset to drive profitability and optimise the Bad Debt P&L. As Commercial Manager (InLife), you’ll play a pivotal role in maximising bad debt performance and lifetime value across the Vodafone and Three in-life customer base. You’ll shape and optimise collections strategies, challenge and support journey owners as a trusted critical friend, and partner closely with Base Marketing and Trading to unlock proactive, profitable customer management. This is a truly career-defining opportunity to influence strategy at scale and help set a new standard for both customer and employee experience.

  • Provide robust, insight-driven challenge to stakeholders, influencing decisions through strong business cases and ensuring benefits are realised through post-implementation reviews

Requirements

  • Strong background in commercial leadership, ideally within telecoms or another subscription-based, customer-lifecycle business
  • Deep understanding of credit risk, collections, exposure management and the key levers that drive in-life value and profitability
  • Proven ability to work collaboratively with marketing, credit, trading and strategy teams to deliver tangible commercial and customer outcomes
  • Highly analytical, with strong commercial modelling skills and the ability to turn complex insight into clear, actionable recommendations
  • Experience shaping or optimising strategies across collections journeys, DCA management, debt sale or in-life decisioning pathways
  • Solid grasp of involuntary churn, max exposure dynamics and end-to-end lifecycle performance management
  • Confident communicator with the presence to challenge constructively and influence decisions at senior levels
  • Demonstrated track record of driving improvement through cross-functional delivery and effective governance frameworks
