Обязанности
- You'll build and lead the function that tells us, early and accurately, which customers are getting value and which are at risk, and then make sure we act on it. As Director, CX Strategy and Operations, you'll report to and partner directly with our Chief Customer Officer, and own the signals, systems, and operating rhythm across our entire Customer Experience (CX) organization: Customer Success, Professional Services, Support, and Community.
- You'll turn product usage, service, support, and community signals into one trusted view of customer health, put AI and automation to work where they move retention, and give our executive team and board a read on our customer base they can rely on.
- You'll partner closely with Revenue Operations, Sales, Product, Data Science, Finance, IT, and Security. Schools, universities, and businesses rely on Canvas by and our wider product family every day. How well they succeed with us is the measure of this role.
- First 90 days: You've mapped how customer health is measured today, including its inputs, weighting, and data sources. You've assessed the team, built relationships across CX and our commercial, product, and data partners, and launched the CX operations council.
- Six months: A redesigned health score is live, with product adoption as a core input and each CX team owning its piece. Leaders use the CX dashboard in their weekly rhythm.
- 12 months: We can show how accurately our signals predict renewal outcomes. Value realization is tracked for our strategic customers, and our AI and automation work has measurable results tied to customer health.
