Job Description
Role Overview

The Associate Director of Customer Experience will lead a team of 7-10 and be responsible for the full CX function, from high touch customer engagement to the operational backbone of our repairs and returns process. This person will be a hands-on leader who can sit with a customer on a delicate issue in the morning and dig into a process bottleneck in the afternoon.

What You Will Do

Key responsibilities include team leadership, customer experience, and operational strategy. The Associate Director will manage a team, serve as an escalation point for complex customer situations, define and uphold service standards, and partner with cross-functional teams to resolve fulfillment issues and improve performance.

Why It Might Be a Fit

The ideal candidate will have 8+ years of experience in customer experience, with at least 2-3 years of managing teams. They will be comfortable being both a calm, high-touch voice with a customer and a person redesigning a workflow. Experience with customer service and returns platforms, AI or automation tools, and data for reporting and decision-making is preferred.
