About the role

Verizon is undergoing a strategic transformation, building a world-class product and revenue organization committed to driving sustainable business growth and long-term customer value. The CXO Core Product & Delivery (CPD) function serves as the primary product execution engine within the digital ecosystem, taking accountability for the vision, performance, and usability of customer-facing digital experiences.
