• Evaluate Voice of Customer platforms, CX analytics solutions, text analytics tools, client intelligence systems, workflow technologies, and reporting platforms to define requirements and recommend scalable technology architecture.
• Lead the selection and implementation planning of appropriate tools and systems in collaboration with relevant stakeholders.
• Develop an insights framework that transforms fragmented client feedback into reliable, decision-ready recommendations for Product and Engineering, Client Experience, Support, Client Success, Marketing, Operations, and executive leadership.
• Establish governance structures, ownership models, dashboards, escalation procedures, and closed-loop feedback processes to ensure customer insights consistently inform business decisions.
• Lead high-impact Client Experience optimization initiatives from initial problem identification and analysis through recommendations, execution, performance measurement, and follow-up.
• Partner with senior executives and cross-functional teams to prioritize improvement opportunities, resolve competing priorities, and align customer insights with broader business objectives.
• Promote accountability and operational excellence by establishing clear responsibilities, timelines, performance indicators, and follow-through mechanisms.
• Coach and influence colleagues through effective communication, strong operating discipline, and consistent execution standards.
• Define success metrics and continuously assess the effectiveness of the VoC program, ensuring that feedback translates into measurable improvements in client satisfaction, retention, and overall business performance.

Requirements:

• At least 12 years of professional experience in Customer Experience, Voice of Client (VoC), Voice of Customer (VoC), customer insights, strategy, operations, or a related discipline.
• Significant experience designing, building, or fundamentally transforming Voice of Customer programs, including developing program architecture rather than simply managing an existing initiative.
• Strong understanding of omnichannel customer feedback strategies and the ability to integrate qualitative and quantitative data into a reliable, comprehensive insights framework.
• Demonstrated ability to assess technology platforms, systems, data flows, reporting requirements, and operational processes to design scalable VoC solutions.
• Exceptional executive communication and presentation skills, with the ability to translate complex customer insights into clear recommendations, strategic trade-offs, and actionable plans.
• Proven ability to lead complex cross-functional initiatives independently, influence stakeholders, and drive organizational change without relying on formal managerial authority.
• Strong operational mindset, exceptional accountability, and a consistent ability to translate strategic plans into measurable outcomes.
• Advanced analytical and data-driven decision-making skills, with the ability to define priorities, evaluate business performance, measure impact, and continuously improve processes.
• Excellent judgment and adaptability when navigating ambiguous situations, including the ability to identify when to escalate issues, challenge assumptions, simplify processes, or make independent decisions.
• Strong organizational and project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple initiatives and maintain momentum across different teams.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with VoC, CX analytics, text analytics, client intelligence, workflow, or reporting platforms such as Qualtrics, Medallia, Gainsight, Salesforce, Zendesk, Tableau, Power BI, or Looker.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted analytics, text analysis, and automated summarization tools to identify customer themes, validate patterns, and improve the quality of insights.
• Experience developing closed-loop customer feedback systems that connect insights directly to improvements in products, services, operations, and customer retention.
• Previous experience in SaaS, payments, fitness technology, member experience, or multi-product platform environments.
• Experience coaching, mentoring, or informally leading team members, with an interest in developing into a people leadership position as the program grows.

Benefits:

• Annual base salary: $128,000–$152,000 USD, depending on experience, qualifications, skills, geographic location, and market considerations.
• Potential eligibility for additional compensation, including bonuses, commissions, equity, or other incentive programs, where applicable.
