Role Purpose

This role spearheads the end‑to‑end management of priority customer journeys and CX transformation initiatives, translating customer insights and business priorities into tangible experience improvements and organizational change.

The role is designed as a senior, high‑impact position with clear ownership of journey‑led change. It anchors CX execution across functions, ensuring customer‑centric thinking is embedded not only in design concepts, but in day‑to‑day decisions, operating models, and behaviors. Survey execution, rNPS/tNPS measurement and standard insights generation are owned by the Customer Management Team; this role partners closely with them to convert insights into action.

Key Responsibilities

1. Own and Lead Customer Journey Management

• Spearhead the identification and prioritization of Moments of Truth (MOT) based on rNPS/tNPS insights and business impact.
• Establish journey‑level experience standards, success metrics, and action roadmaps, ensuring alignment with enterprise CX priorities.

2. Spearhead Journey Design & Experience Interventions

• Lead journey design using Design Thinking, Service Design, and system‑based approaches, addressing root causes across people, process, and technology.
• Drive CX intervention initiatives from problem definition through concept design, piloting, and rollout.

3. Drive Cross‑functional Execution and Orchestration

• Act as a central orchestrator across Marketing, Digital, Operations, IT, Compliance, HR, and Communications to ensure journey initiatives are executed holistically.
• Translate journey insights into clear, actionable requirements and change actions, influencing stakeholders without formal authority.
• Own progress tracking, issue escalation, and outcome alignment for journey initiatives across functions.

4. Anchor CX Governance and Leadership Conversations

• Serve as a key contributor to CEO CX Forum and senior leadership discussions, framing journey priorities, intervention options, and expected impact.
• Partner with the Customer Management Team to interpret rNPS/tNPS insights, with a strong focus on decision‑making and action, rather than score reporting.
• Ensure CX initiatives are connected to business priorities and leadership expectations.

5. Champion Customer‑centric Culture & Capability Building

• Partner with HR and Communications to champion customer‑centric culture shift, embedding customer journeys into leadership narratives, internal communications, and ways of working.
• Lead and facilitate journey‑based workshops and CX learning sessions, building organizational capability in customer‑led thinking.
• Act as an internal role model and advocate for customer‑first decision making.

Core Experience

• Proven experience (>5-8 years) in Customer Experience Management, Journey Design, Service Design, or CX Transformation roles.
