- Partner with Product, Tooling, WFM, Analytics, and Operations to shape queue design, case allocation rules, channel strategy, and automation/AI use cases that maximize productivity without sacrificing quality.
- Build and maintain CX standards and governance, including SOPs, playbooks, dashboards, and process excellence frameworks that provide a single source of truth for how workflows and tools operate across regions and partners.
- Drive change management at scale by crafting communications, enablement plans, and feedback loops that land new workflows, routing strategies, and tools with global teams and ensure continuous improvement.
- Leverage operational metrics, quality outcomes, CSAT/effort scores, and capacity data to identify opportunity areas, size problems, set targets, and validate whether workflow and tooling changes deliver expected results.
Required Skills and Experience:
- 7+ years in customer support operations, process excellence, or program management, with a track record designing and scaling CX workflows in multi-product, multi-geo environments.
- Proven experience designing end-to-end workflows, SOPs, and routing logic across multiple teams, geographies, or vendor partners in high-volume operations (case management, contact routing, agent desktops, automation).
- Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional programs involving 4+ stakeholder teams (Operations, Product, Engineering, Analytics, WFM) from discovery through measurable impact.
- Strong data and experimentation mindset with hands-on experience using analytics to size problems, prioritize opportunities, and validate the impact of workflow changes on metrics like CSAT, recontact rate, and handle time.
- Track record producing structured decision docs, workflow specs, and executive recommendations that drive alignment and action across senior stakeholders.
- Utilizes generative AI responsibly, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality.
