Use systems performance and failure data to identify patterns, anticipate issues, and drive proactive action. Establish the monitoring and alerting infrastructure that shifts the team from reactive response to early detection.

Implement AI and automation meaningfully. Be the thought leader on leveraging AI in the next evolution of contact center operations, including agentic-AI, to automate customer service, enhance agent productivity, analyze interactions in real-time, while increasing the overall efficacy, accuracy, and efficiency of all contact center workflows and systems.

10+ years in Customer Service, Contact Center Operations, Product Support Operations, or a related function, with 5+ years in a senior leadership role.

Experience building and leading support at a world-class company where hardware and software are inseparable.

Experience standing up or running contact center or call center operations, including call routing, triage, and escalation management.

A track record of implementing AI and automation into support workflows: not evaluating vendors, but shipping and operating.
