• Think tactically by using expertise and high judgment to establish the right team structure to respond to customer needs and short business goals. They will make sure their team(s) are operating efficiently, meeting SLAs, and delivering results. They create a plans, communicate requirements, negotiate priorities, and define what success looks like across all levels.
• Think strategically by using expertise and high judgment to establish goals in an area where the strategy for may not yet be defined. They set a vision, design a strategy, and achieve consensus on priorities that align with long-term business goals.
• Ensure outcomes are auditable, decisions are data-driven, and work quality is measurable; and will use this to determine where to simplify or extend solutions for the best outcome.
• Ensures team compliance with policies (e.g., information security, data handling, PCI, accessibility, service level agreements, etc.). They determine if appropriate metrics are in place to measure the customer experience, and if not will work to define them.
• Allocate time to set up needed operational metrics, customer intake mechanisms, team training, and documentation (e.g., tutorials, help pages, troubleshooting).
