About the role

We’re seeking a Principal Analyst inspired by the future of customer experience (CX) transformations and the executives who lead them. In this role, you’ll examine how senior CX leaders build and operate cutting-edge CX programs and drive enterprisewide customer-led innovation amid the rise of AI and volatility. You’ll conduct visionary original research that helps senior CX executives across industries build the experiences and CX programs of the future — and you’ll advise these leaders on how to customize and implement your findings.

The ideal candidate is a prominent, transformational CX leader — ideally with experience in more than one industry — with an approach that is both analytically rigorous and action-oriented. Above all, you’ll demonstrate a passion for helping to create the future of customer experiences and the CX discipline.

  • An understanding of the key issues facing CX leaders and organizations today, such as score obsession, the need to drive action, and the promise and peril of AI, etc.
