The Customer Experience Manager – Strategic is responsible for elevating the end-to-end customer journey for Thomas Scientific's most important and highest-value accounts. This role owns the strategic relationship between CX operations and key stakeholders — identifying friction points, designing proactive service models, and partnering cross-functionally with Sales, & Operations to ensure strategic customers receive consistently exceptional experience. This is a senior individual contributor or team-lead role focused on strategy, process design, and executive-level relationship management, rather than day-to-day ticket handling.

Strategic Account Experience

• Serve as the CX owner for a portfolio of strategic/key accounts, ensuring their experience across ordering, fulfillment, support, and account management is proactive and frictionless.
• Build and maintain strategic account experience plans, including service level commitments, escalation protocols, and success metrics.
• Act as an executive point of contact for CX-related issues on strategic accounts, partnering with Sales leadership on renewal and growth conversations.

Voice of the Customer & Insights

• Analyze customer feedback, NPS/CSAT data, support tickets, and order/fulfillment data to identify systemic pain points affecting strategic accounts.
• Translate customer insights into actionable recommendations for Operations, Product, and IT teams.
• Present regular CX health reports and strategic account risk/opportunity analysis to leadership.

Process & Program Design

• Design and implement proactive service models (e.g., dedicated support tiers, account health scorecards, early-warning escalation triggers) for strategic customers.
• Lead cross-functional initiatives to improve self-service tools, order accuracy, and communication cadence for strategic customers.

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Collaborate with Sales, Marketing, IT, and Operations to ensure strategic account needs are represented in broader CX and business initiatives.
• Champion a customer-first culture, mentoring frontline CX teams on best practices for handling high-value/high-complexity accounts.
• Manage escalations that require cross-departmental coordination, driving issues to resolution with urgency and clear communication.

Required

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Communications, or related field, or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of experience in customer experience, account management, or customer success, ideally in distribution, B2B, or scientific/industrial supply industries.
• Demonstrated experience managing relationships with large, strategic, or enterprise-level accounts.
• Strong analytical skills; comfortable working with CRM, order management, and support ticketing data to identify trends.
• Excellent communication and executive presence; able to represent CX priorities to senior leadership and key customers.
• Proven ability to lead cross-functional projects without direct authority.

Preferred

• Experience in laboratory, life sciences, chemical distribution, or scientific supply industries.
• Familiarity with CRM platforms (e.g., Salesforce), ERP/order management systems, and CX analytics tools.
• Background in process improvement methodologies (Lean, Six Sigma, or similar).
