Full Job Description
The Opportunity:

The Director of Digital Experience serves as the single-threaded owner of our website ecosystem-encompassing our marketing presence, B2B e-commerce platform, recruiting experience, and customer portal. This role is not about maintaining a website. It is about building a best-in-class digital platform that becomes a competitive advantage-delivering a seamless, intuitive, high-performing experience that makes Keystone the easiest partner to do business with online.

This role operates at the intersection of Marketing, IT, AI, Sales, Customer Experience, and Product, owning the strategy, roadmap, and execution of a modern digital platform that integrates deeply with Keystone's ERP, CRM, and marketing systems. The Director of Digital Experience leads projects utilizing both internal and external resources to continuously elevate our digital capabilities. This role also provides leadership and direction to the Digital Marketing Strategist, helping align digital marketing execution with the broader digital experience strategy.

This role will also own the ongoing effort to understand customer behavior, gather feedback, identify friction points, and turn those insights into meaningful improvements. This role will make it easier for customers to get what they need at their fingertips-and will help define how AI can enhance and personalize that experience.

    E-Commerce & Customer Portal Capability
  • Lead development and optimization of core digital capabilities, including:

  • Secure payments and account management
  • Upsell, cross-sell, and promotional experiences
  • Other pre-sale and post-sale value-added activities
  • Expand self-service capabilities that reduce friction and increase customer adoption
  • Ensure the portal becomes a preferred engagement channel for customers and a meaningful extension of the Keystone customer experience

  • Use data, customer feedback, and business input to identify opportunities and prioritize enhancements
  • Regularly present performance, insights, and recommendations to leadership
