Overview

We’re seeking an enterprise-level operational executive to lead two of the most critical components of our customer journey: our Customer Experience Contact Center and our 24/7 Monitoring Service. This leader will guide the senior leadership teams responsible for support, loyalty, sales, and alarm monitoring, ensuring these operations deliver a safe, seamless, and high-quality experience for every customer.

This role sets strategy, aligns leaders, and drives performance across large, complex, multi-layered operations. You’ll orchestrate the people, systems, and processes that shape customer experience across voice, digital, and monitoring channels - while enabling the functional teams supporting these operations (Workforce Management, Learning & Development, Quality, and Channel Strategy) through the senior leaders who own them.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the senior leaders accountable for Workforce Management, Quality, Learning & Development, and Channel Strategy to ensure their teams are enabling operational success.
  • Influence how WFM forecasting, capacity planning, and staffing strategies support organizational targets.
  • Ensure QA insights, L&D programs, and operational analytics are effectively leveraged by CC and Monitoring leadership teams.

Customer Journey, Channel Performance & Digital Evolution

  • Shape the future-state service experience across digital, voice, and monitoring channels.
  • Partner with Technology and AI leaders to advance virtual agents, automation, routing logic, and predictive systems that improve efficiency and customer outcomes.
  • Guide senior leaders in orchestrating seamless handoffs across channels, eliminating friction and reducing customer effort.
  • Drive enterprise-level channel strategy decisions, including digital containment, self-service adoption, and cost-to-serve optimization.
  • Implement best in class technology solutions that have a strategic fit and return on investment.

Performance Management, KPI Steering & Vendor Governance

  • Hold senior leaders accountable for operational KPIs across quality, efficiency, SLAs, customer experience, and financial performance.
  • Evaluate operational health through data, trends, and cross-functional insights to identify systemic issues and improvement opportunities.
