Our Customer Experience team is growing fast, and we want our technology to grow its capacity as well. We're looking for a Director of CX Technology and Systems to own the CX technology stack: set the multi-year vision, then personally configure, test, integrate, and ship against it.
You’ll lead our biggest contact center initiatives, including modernizing our CCaaS and telephony platforms, expanding AI agent capabilities, and deepening integrations across our e-commerce, OMS, and ERP systems in partnership with our Product / Engineering teams. This is an owner-operator role, not a vendor-management role. You’ll build the first version yourself and grow into leading a team as the business need dictates.
You’ll measure success by the efficiency you gain, the friction you remove for agents and customers, and the long-term capacity you create.
