- Partner closely with data scientists, engineers, and designers to lead a cross-functional roadmap spanning investments in modeling, customer experiences, and scalable infrastructure.
- Partner with the Customer Operations team to design new automation that enhances the effectiveness and connectivity of our agent tooling (e.g. Zendesk, Ubiquity, & Admin).
- Own OKRs and build a roadmap for the customer experience product area based on the needs of our customer operations and our ambitions for scale and speed to market
- Operate cross-functionally and build strong partnerships within Novo and with external vendors to deliver excellent products and services.
- Manage the entire customer service lifecycle as horizontal across every product line from ideation to planning, execution, and launch.
- Creatively testing assumptions and ideas using surveys, internal working sessions, prototypes, and data to quickly build or remove confidence in solutions related to CX.
- Working with operations functional areas to prioritize solutions and working with design and engineering resources to deliver them from start to finish
- Collaborating extensively with stakeholders (data science and operations) on opportunities and solutions to drive the AI-first customer experience.
- Performing end-to-end data analysis on product fit and any launch impacts on our user base
Requirements for the Role:
- 8+ years of experience of overall experience in the technology industry
