Director of Product, CX Product
About the role
Every month, hundreds of thousands of patients and providers interact with Headway's support systems. Today, most interactions are handled by human agents working across disconnected tools. We believe CX is a product, not just a department — and the right product leader can transform how Headway supports its customers while dramatically improving both satisfaction and cost efficiency.
Responsibilities
- Own the product vision and strategy for how patients and providers get help — from AI-powered self-resolution to context-aware agent tooling to the feedback loops that connect support insights back to the product.
- Build and lead a team of product managers focused on reducing cost-to-serve while increasing resolution quality and customer satisfaction.
- Define the autonomy framework: what AI handles without human involvement, what needs guardrails, and what requires a human.
- Build proactive engagement — systems that contact customers before they discover problems.
- Shift Headway's CX from reactive to proactive.
- Launch and unify all contact channels — email, text, and voice — with intelligent routing that delivers differentiated experiences based on customer context, value, and issue type.
- Own the knowledge and quality layer — machine-readable SOPs, AI evaluation frameworks and crisis escalation pathways.
- Partner deeply with CX Operations to build agent tooling that makes human agents dramatically more effective — AI copilot, full journey context, auto-generated summaries.
- Close the feedback loop: build the system that identifies the highest-impact product defects driving support volume and surfaces them to insurance platform teams for upstream fixes.
- Establish measurement frameworks that connect CX product investments to business outcomes.
Requirements
- 8+ years of experience, including at least 3 years managing PMs, with a track record of building CX/support products at scale.
- A strong point of view on how AI will transform customer support — and you've shipped AI-powered CX products.
- Experience launching or scaling multi-channel CX systems and using intelligent routing for personalized experiences.
- Demonstrated ability to simultaneously reduce support costs and improve customer satisfaction.
- Thrives at the intersection of product and operations.
