• Build a robust forecasting and analytics process to determine trends across demand, capacity, churn, ticket volume, and recommend actions.
• Help project manage enhancements and changes to the CX tech stack (e.g., Zendesk, Gainsight, Decagon).

• Operate as an extension of the CX and RevOps Leadership teams to ensure cross‑functional alignment with broader GTM and company strategy.
• Set annual and semi‑annual plans that create customer value at scale: guide and define headcount, OPEX, and OKRs.
• Serve as a strategic trusted advisor to the Head of CX and CX Leadership team.

• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to analyze data and make data‑driven syntheses, diagnose and scope problems, inform and gain buy‑in to recommendations, and track success.
• AI‑first approach: experience implementing digital and/or scaled programs to increase efficiency while improving customer outcomes; experience building and implementing RevOps methodologies in an AI‑first environment.
