The Position The Manager, Strategic Customer Experience leads a team of full-cycle, AI-augmented CXMs serving HappyCo's strategic growth accounts. This is where scale meets high-touch: your team owns the complete customer journey while leveraging automation and AI to extend their reach. You are accountable for building a repeatable, high-performing motion that protects retention and drives expansion across a fast-growing segment.
Responsibilities
Lead, coach, and develop a team of Strategic CXMs owning full-lifecycle, single-owner books. Own team performance against retention, expansion, satisfaction, and time-to-launch goals for the strategic segment. Champion AI-augmented engagement — adoption nudges, lifecycle comms, and automated plays — to scale high-quality touch across larger books. Partner with Sales on expansion and whitespace planning and with Product on roadmap alignment. Run proactive, CTA-driven risk management and keep books balanced to capacity as the segment scales. Help stand up and mature the strategic motion ahead of planned team growth in FY27.
This Role Is for You If
You're proactive and not afraid to jump in and take ownership of escalations. You're creative with AI and consistently build AI-forward ideas to optimize how your team operates. You bring tenured experience coaching and developing individual contributors. You own your KPIs and team strategy — and can clearly explain both. You bring solutions, not problems, to leadership.
