• Establish and execute an AI and automation strategy that improves customer outcomes, accelerates resolution, reduces repeat contacts, and enables agents to focus on high-value interactions requiring judgment and empathy.
• Partner with Product leadership to identify where AI can deliver the greatest operational and customer value while establishing quality, reliability, and readiness standards for automation.
• Own CX capacity, workforce planning, and cost management, including demand forecasting, staffing models, internal and outsourced capacity, and cost-per-contact targets.
• Build scalable operational foundations across training, quality assurance, agent procedures, workflows, systems, and technology to continuously improve service quality and efficiency.
• Establish operating rhythms, performance metrics, and accountability mechanisms that enable the organization to scale predictably while maintaining a high-quality customer experience.
• Manage external service partners from the client side, ensuring performance standards, operational commitments, and commercial expectations are consistently met.
• Use operational data, customer feedback, and recurring contact trends to identify systemic issues and opportunities to reduce avoidable support demand.
• Represent the customer experience function with senior and executive leadership, communicating performance, risks, opportunities, and strategic priorities with clarity.
• Partner closely with Product, Engineering, and R&D teams to translate customer and operational insights into product improvements and upstream solutions.
• Foster a customer-centric culture focused on the needs of both patients and providers while ensuring every interaction strengthens trust and long-term relationships.
• Continuously evaluate CX technology, AI capabilities, and emerging industry practices to determine which innovations can meaningfully transform the operation.

Requirements

• Proven ability to lead a customer support organization through an AI or automation transformation and demonstrate measurable improvements in customer experience, efficiency, and operational performance.
• Deep knowledge of modern CX operating models, support technologies, automation, and AI capabilities, with a strong point of view on how emerging tools can fundamentally improve operations rather than simply add complexity.
• AI-native mindset with demonstrated experience integrating AI into personal workflows, team processes, and customer operations.
• Strong ability to use operational metrics, customer insights, and data to identify opportunities, make decisions, and influence broader business strategy.
• Experience partnering closely with Product, Engineering, R&D, or other technology teams to use customer evidence to influence product priorities and eliminate recurring sources of support demand.
