At Justworks, you’ll enjoy a welcoming and casual environment, great benefits, wellness program offerings, company retreats, and the ability to interact with and learn from leaders in the startup community. We work hard and care about our most prized asset - our people.

We’re helping businesses get off the ground by enabling them to focus on running their business. We solve HR issues. We’re data-driven and never stop iterating. If you’d like to work in a supportive, entrepreneurial environment, are interested in building something meaningful and having fun while doing it, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re united by shared goals and shared motivations at Justworks. These are best summed up in our company values, which are reflected in our product and in our team.

Our Values

If this sounds like you, you’ll fit right in.

Who You Are

At Justworks, we believe that listening to our customers is one of our greatest strategic advantages. The Voice of Customer (VoC) Program Lead will bring that belief to life by turning feedback into insight, and insight into action.

As the founding leader of our VoC program, you’ll architect the systems, standards, and partnerships needed to scale how we listen to customers across their journey. This role lives within the Research & Insights team and collaborates deeply with CSO, Product, Design, Engineering, Revenue, Supportand Marketing to ensure that feedback is coordinated, activated, and accountable across the business.

We’re looking for a systems thinker with a strong bias for collaboration — someone who can rally cross-functional teams around shared goals, clarify complex problems, and lead without formal authority. You’ll need the storytelling skill to make insights resonate and the operational chops to make them matter.

Your Success Profile

What You’ll Work On

Orchestration & Infrastructure

• Design and implement a centralized approach for collecting, connecting and managing customer feedback data at scale
• Streamline and standardize listening posts, surveys, and tools across the customer lifecycle
• Own the full feedback loop — from collection to insight to follow-up, operationalizing how we close the loop with customers when feedback leads to change
• Build and maintain a centralized dashboard and insights portal, ICP server, and other “ways in” to increase accessibility and usage of VoC insights across the enterprise
• Ensure VoC outreach to customers is coordinated and respectful, increases customer obsession, and focuses on collecting data that will be used to inform decisions
• Partner cross-functionally (including with Revenue, Data & Analytics, and others) to build scalable infrastructure

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Influence

• Build a deep understanding of existing approaches to incorporating customer feedback into functional ways of working, then design an approach to transform those approaches into a cross-functional governance model, testing and learning to bring it to life
• Partner with product managers, CSO leaders, marketers, and other stakeholders to embed VoC insights in roadmaps and ops, and advocate for VoC inputs in planning and prioritization forums
• Establish governance to ensure consistent, cross-org feedback accountability
• Evangelize customer-centricity across the org, contributing to a culture that values insight-driven work

Storytelling & Insight Synthesis

• Aggregate and analyze feedback from diverse sources (surveys, interviews, support tickets, sales calls, etc.)
• Apply structured taxonomy and tagging to surface trends and root causes
• Craft compelling insight narratives for cross-functional and executive audiences
• Translate feedback into prioritized opportunities that shape product, policy, and service design and

Measuring Success & Continually Improving

• Define, socialize, and program an approach to measuring the impact and effectiveness of the Justworks VoC program
• Track and report on the business impact of VoC-driven changes
• Build a program to regularly reflect on what’s working, what’s not, and how to continuously improve VoC to best serve our internal stakeholders and our customers

How You Will Do Your Work

You’ll be a good fit if you’re a connector and a translator — able to bridge the gaps between what customers are saying and what internal teams need to hear, and if…

• You thrive in environments where ownership is high, structure is emergent, and collaboration is essential
• You’re energized by bringing order to ambiguity, and by making complex systems work better for real people — inside and outside the company
• You believe that customer insights should shape strategy, not just validate it

Success in this role in year 1 will look like:

• A shared, standardized VoC infrastructure and taxonomy in place
• Feedback collected at key journey moments with minimal duplication or fatigue
• Clear insight-to-action loops tied to strategic priorities, with measurable impact on customer outcomes
• Cross-functional teams regularly using VoC data to inform decisions
• Greater visibility and accountability for the voice of the customer across the org

• Camaraderie — Day to day you can be seen working together toward a higher purpose. You like to have fun. You're an active listener, treat people respectfully, and have a strong desire to know and help others.
• Openness — Your default is to be open. You're willing to share information, understand other perspectives, and consider new possibilities. You're curious, ask open questions, and are receptive to thoughts and feedback from others.
• Grit — You demonstrate grit by having the courage to commit and persevere. You're committed, earnest, and dive in to get the job done well with a positive attitude.
• Integrity — Simply put, do what you say and say what you'll do. You're honest and forthright, have a strong moral compass, and strive to match your words with your actions while leading by example.
• Simplicity — Be like Einstein: "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler."
