• Establish the prioritization framework for automation - defining criteria on which initiatives are evaluated, funded, and sequenced to deliver measurable ROI

Reduce Friction, Improve CX, AX
• Define channel optimization ROI and build the business case for the right channel

sequence what gets unlocked

Leadership & Execution
• Proven ability to build from scratch
• Strong people leader who can build and develop a team
• Brings an informed market perspective on CCaaS and AI innovation - understands what's working in the industry and can apply it to accelerate CXM transformation
What Values You'll Share
  • Customer Obsessed - Building deep empathy for our customers, putting them at the core of our work, and developing strong, long-term relationships with them.
  • Aim High - Always challenging ourselves and others to raise the bar.
  • No Ego - Maintaining a "no job too small" attitude, and an open, inclusive and humble style.
  • One Team - Taking a highly collaborative approach to achieving success.
  • Lift As We Climb - Investing in developing others and helping others around us succeed.
  • Lean & Nimble - Working with agility and efficiency to experiment in an often ambiguous environment.
What We Offer
