What is the Customer Experience-Software Lifecycle Team and why join?

WWT's CX - Software Lifecycle team is focused on our customers first, partnering with them to ensure we understand their goals, then applying the efforts necessary to achieve those goals. It is a rewarding way to ensure that our relationships continue foster quality business outcomes and our customers view us as their strategic advisors.

CX is also a thriving area of growth for many companies who are making the shift from transactional sales models to supporting recurring revenue. Customer Experience has become a key driver to ensuring that any customer who commits to a contract with a vendor sees success and continues to renew that business. This industry trend towards recurring revenue models makes WWT Customer Experience - Software Lifecycle an area of great opportunity for potential candidates.

What will you be doing?

World Wide Technology (WWT) is currently looking for a Customer Experience Executive who will be managing the software lifecycle activities of our customer's Whole Portfolio Agreements (WPA). This role will be defining and executing a customer experience strategy for our customer. The Customer Experience Executive will be responsible for supporting the holistic WPA agreement within the customer account. This role will develop a deep understanding of the customer and what drives their engagement while executing against WWT's EA+ methodology.

This job requires that the CXE look at our client's goals as their own and their singular focus to be on ensuring the customer is successful in driving their business initiatives. The ideal candidate for this role will be able to understand the entire business, including Sales, Engineering, Operations, Marketing, and Finance, partnering with these groups to drive towards our customers' vision.

This position requires extreme flexibility and agility, with the comfort and ability to create and develop new processes. The position comes with a high level of visibility and inspection with very minimal ramp-up opportunity.

The position requires the employee to communicate well with others both inside and outside the workplace (e.g., in person, via telephone, via email, via virtual meetings). Relationship building is critical to success. The employee must be able to understand, interpret and analyze data, solve problems, concentrate, research, multi-task, prioritize, and meet multiple deadlines to complete essential tasks.

• Be eager to learn and approach the position and responsibilities with ongoing agility
• Be a problem-solver with an anticipatory mindset that is able to quickly identify needs and desired outcomes
• Be tenacious and have a "by any means necessary" attitude
• Be willing to take ownership of customers' issues & needs and follow problems through to resolution
• Be comfortable in not having all the information or answers readily available - this is a rapidly evolving position and program that requires substantial ambiguity tolerance
• Be able to read your audience and tailor messaging - a high level of business acumen & finesse is critical for success
