Director, Customer Experience
About the Opportunity
At Constant Contact, our customers are at the heart of everything we do. As our Director, Customer Experience, you'll have the opportunity to build and lead a dedicated Customer Experience function that brings a holistic, data-driven view of the customer journey across the organization.
This is a highly cross-functional role focused on identifying and improving the moments that matter most across the customer lifecycle, from the initial sales conversation and onboarding, through product usage, support, education, community, and renewal. You'll help Constant Contact better understand where customers experience friction, why it happens, and what we can do to create a more seamless experience.
As our first dedicated Customer Experience leader, you'll lead our existing Voice of Customer (VOC) team and establish the frameworks, insights, and operating rhythms that make the customer experience visible across the company. You'll partner closely with leaders across Sales, Product & Design, Support, Success, Marketing, Education, and Community to turn customer insights into meaningful business and experience improvements.
This role is ideal for a hands-on CX leader who is equally comfortable analyzing data, building programs from the ground up, influencing senior stakeholders, and rolling up their sleeves to get things done. You'll bring independent, evidence-based perspectives to the organization and help drive action even when the teams responsible for the customer experience don't report directly to you.
What You'll Do:
Build and lead our CX function, including our existing Voice of Customer team, establishing the strategy, priorities, and operating model for the function
Own the end-to-end customer journey, identifying friction and opportunities across Sales, onboarding, product, Support, Success, Education, Community, and renewal
Turn customer signals into action by bringing together feedback, survey results, behavioral data, research, and other sources to identify systemic issues and prioritize opportunities
Strengthen our Voice of Customer program, creating a clear, company-wide view of what customers need and where we can improve
Establish CX measurement and reporting, developing meaningful metrics and executive-ready insights that connect customer experience to business outcomes
Improve critical customer handoffs, particularly the transition from Sales to onboarding and the intersection between our digital product experience and human support
Partner across Sales, Product & Design, Marketing, Support, Success, Education, and Community to influence priorities and drive meaningful improvements without direct authority
Establish a cross-functional CX operating rhythm that brings the right leaders together, creates accountability, and keeps customer experience at the center of business decisions
Lead and develop a small, high-impact team, operating as a player-coach who is willing to roll up their sleeves and do the work
