Job description

Airtable is the no-code app platform that empowers people closest to the work to accelerate their most critical business processes. More than 500,000 organizations, including 80% of the Fortune 100, rely on Airtable to transform how work gets done.

We’re hiring a Lead Customer Experience Architect — a high-impact, cross-functional role for a proven operator who knows how to get big, strategic programs off the ground and deliver measurable customer impact. Reporting directly to the Chief Customer Officer, you’ll serve as a thought partner and force multiplier, helping to define and operationalize critical initiatives across the Customer Success Group (CSG), which includes Customer Success, Support, Services, and Renewals.

You’ll own and lead enterprise-level programs that shape how we deliver value across the customer lifecycle, including:

• The Customer Journey Initiative — bringing clarity to what success looks like at each stage and driving consistent execution across teams
• The Customer Listening Engine — embedding customer insights into how we operate and ensuring feedback drives meaningful change
• Additional high-priority programs that strengthen the customer experience and accelerate long-term growth

In addition to leading enterprise-wide programs, this role acts as a strategic execution partner to the Chief Customer Officer—helping drive alignment, accelerate progress on high-priority initiatives, and ensure the voice of the customer is embedded across the business.

What you'll do

• Lead Strategic Programs Across the LifecycleScope, design, and operationalize cross-functional initiatives that improve the customer experience and support scalable growth. Prioritize and drive execution across programs like Customer Journey Mapping, Customer Listening, and renewal or onboarding transformation.
• Customer Journey Mapping & Stage Gate DefinitionDevelop and drive adoption of a shared framework that defines customer journey stages, success criteria, ownership, and key touchpoints. Ensure we measure progress based on customer outcomes, not just internal activity.
• Customer Listening & Feedback ActivationStand up Airtable’s Customer Listening Engine—establishing scalable systems and operating rhythms to collect, synthesize, and action customer insights across the business (e.g., NPS, product feedback, support signals, social). Drive a closed-loop process that ensures the customer's voice directly informs roadmap, messaging, and success motions.
• Own Cross-Org Responses to Customer Issues
  Lead rapid-response initiatives to address friction points surfaced by strategic customers. Partner with Product, GTM, and CSG leaders to align on solutions, ensure accountability, and deliver customer-ready fixes.

Who you are

• A strategic operator with a track record of delivering cross-functional programs that drive customer and business impact
• Highly organized, execution-oriented, and comfortable navigating ambiguity
• Deeply customer-centric, with a passion for turning feedback into action
• Confident working across all levels of the org, including direct engagement with senior leaders
• Comfortable acting as a trusted operator and advisor to senior leadership, with the judgment and execution skills to lead initiatives independently on behalf of the CCO
• 10–15 years of experience in CX Strategy, Customer Programs, Strategic Initiatives, or Chief of Staff-style roles in a high-growth B2B environment

Why This Role Matters Airtable has already built its customer engagement model—but we haven’t yet defined the success criteria or stage gates that guide customer progress. This role will fill that gap, aligning teams around measurable outcomes and enabling scalable, data-driven execution. You’ll ensure that the customer voice is embedded in our operations and that our most important initiatives are executed with speed, clarity, and impact.
