As a Sr. Specialist, Customer Experience, you will be responsible for analysing customer journeys, identifying pain points, and driving solutions that improve customer outcomes. You will own specific CX programs end-to-end, from problem definition through execution and optimisation.

This role is hands-on. It requires strong analytical skills (Excel, Looker, SQL, Python, Tableau etc), the ability to turn data into clear insights, clear communication skills and the ability to work cross-functionally to execute projects end-to-end.
 

1. Analytics and insights 

• Dig into CX data to uncover customer pain points using cohort analysis, funnel diagnostics, and segmentation

• Build clear success metrics upfront for each initiative and run robust pre/post impact assessments

• Create and maintain dashboards in Looker or Tableau that monitor CX KPIs daily and flag anomalies early

• Use SQL and Python for deep dives and advanced analyses where required

• Identify opportunities for predictive models (churn risk, reorder probability, voucher redemption likelihood) and work with data science teams to validate and apply

4. Stakeholder management

• Work with Product, Tech, Ops, and Market teams to secure alignment on priorities and unblock execution

• Provide the right data and context to help product and tech teams make decisions
