About the FunctionGlobal Business Services (GBS) is where Diageo runs and transforms its core commercial and financial processes at scale. Within GBO, the Order-to-Cash (O2C) team owns the end-to-end journey from customer order through to cash collection - and the customer experience that surrounds it.
Customer Experience (Queries) sits at the heart of that journey. When a customer raises a query, dispute or claim, how quickly and cleanly we resolve it shapes their trust in Diageo and the cash we collect. This team is accountable for resolving customer queries at pace, removing the root causes behind them, and raising the service bar across markets.
It's a space that blends operational delivery with transformation - where you improve today's service while redesigning tomorrow's, and see the impact of your work on both customers and the P&L almost immediately.
