Position Summary

Nestlé is seeking a Global CES Transformation & Operations Expert to help shape the future of Consumer Engagement Services (CES) and accelerate the transformation of consumer service operations at global scale. Consumer Engagement Services is a strategic pillar of Nestlé’s Consumer Experience (CX) strategy, with a critical role in strengthening consumer relationships, elevating experiences across every channel, and driving brand trust, satisfaction, and growth. As consumer expectations evolve and technology reshapes how consumers interact with brands, CES has an exciting opportunity to move beyond traditional reactive support towards a more proactive, personalized, and value-creating function.

This role sits at the heart of that transformation.

Working closely with the Global CX Lead, you will help define and bring to life the strategic vision for the future of CES, combining best-in-class operational standards, technology solutions, data-driven insights and emerging AI and agentic capabilities to fundamentally enhance the consumer experience. The ambition is to make every interaction count: delivering greater value for consumers and brands while unlocking new levels of operational efficiency and effectiveness at global scale.

You will play a key role in accelerating the adoption and effective use of global CES technology platforms and services, ensuring consistent, high-quality execution while enabling markets to continuously improve consumer satisfaction, NPS and CSAT.

You will also help shape the next generation of digitally enabled, AI-powered and agentic services. By translating emerging technologies and global capabilities into practical, scalable solutions, you will help transform how CES operates, from automating routine interactions and enabling more intelligent AI-powered services to create more personalized, seamless and proactive consumer experiences. This is an opportunity to turn innovation into tangible business impact, combining better consumer outcomes with sustainable efficiency gains.
