Customer Feedback & Continuous Improvement
  • Build a structured system to collect, organize, and analyze customer feedback from surveys, support interactions, product usage, and other channels.
  • Partner with Product, Engineering, and cross-functional teams to turn insights into actionable improvements.
  • Maintain a closed-loop feedback process-tracking issues, implementing solutions, and measuring impact.

  • Evaluate, implement, and optimize tools to improve operational efficiency and customer experience.
  • Ensure systems are scalable, reliable, and aligned with CX operational needs.

Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Work closely with Product, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, and Operations to ensure CX is integrated into company-wide planning and decision-making.
  • Advocate for customer needs and ensure the "voice of the customer" informs product and policy decisions.

Team Enablement & Quality Assurance
  • Develop training materials, SOPs, and knowledge resources that empower CX teams.
  • Collaborate with Training & Enablement teams to facilitate the onboarding of new team members, ensuring they have the tools and knowledge needed to excel.

What You'll Bring

Required
  • Proven experience mapping customer journeys and improving processes.

Preferred

  • Background in a high-growth SaaS, e-commerce, or service-driven environment.

What Success Looks Like
