About the role
We're building a new function at Flex: the CX Product Business Partner (CXBP). This is not a support role. It's the strategic interface between Customer Success and Product, embedded directly in the product development lifecycle. CXBPs are domain-based owners -- aligned to specific product verticals within the Flex ecosystem -- responsible for ensuring every feature is designed with real customer scenarios in mind, operationally ready at launch, and continuously improved post-launch. This is a high-accountability, highly visible role. You'll have PRD sign-off authority, a seat at the table in product planning, and ownership over the feedback loops that drive continuous improvement -- including the AI and chatbot workflows that increasingly handle customer interactions at scale.
Responsibilities
- PRD sign-off across every initiative in your product domain
- Launch readiness -- ensuring CS content, AI workflows, training, QA, and BPO enablement are complete before anything ships
- Post-launch feedback loops -- synthesizing ticket trends, bot conversations, and in-app signals into actionable product recommendations
- AI workflow ownership -- conversational flow design, escalation logic, and routing rules within your domain
- Incident coordination -- leading the CS response for Sev 0/1 incidents from first identification through resolution
- Product Partnership & Launch Ownership
- Serve as the CS voice embedded with the PMs, designers, and engineers building Flex's consumer-facing products
- Participate in PRD development for every initiative in your domain -- your sign-off is required before approval
- Define customer journeys, flag edge cases, and identify support risks before build begins
- Own the CS workstream end-to-end for launches in your domain: content, AI/chatbot workflows, Ops Dashboard changes, training, QA criteria, and BPO readiness
- Evaluate readiness to move from pilot to GA based on operational signals: ticket trends, customer confusion, and stability metrics
- Post-Launch Monitoring, Feedback & Incident Response
- Monitor ticket volume and themes post-launch; identify gaps in real time and drive rapid iteration
- Own the structured feedback loop from CS back to Product, synthesizing signals from tickets, bot conversations, Help Center activity, and in-app behavior
- Serve as the primary CS coordinator for incidents in your domain, owning the relationship with the assigned PM and engineering lead from identification through resolution
- For Sev 0/1 incidents, lead the full cross-functional CS response -- align stakeholders, communicate status, and ensure customer impact is actioned in real time
- Partner with the Executive Escalations team on remediation -- they own individual customer follow-up; you own the product and engineering coordination layer
- AI Workflow & Automation Ownership
- Own the AI/chatbot workflow layer within your domain: conversational flow design, escalation logic, and routing rules
- Partner with AI Content and CS Tools & Tech to ensure bot workflows reflect current product behavior and policy
- Use AI tools to accelerate your own work -- synthesizing ticket data, drafting PRD feedback, analyzing trends, and building decision frameworks for BPO teams
- Continuously identify where better AI coverage can reduce avoidable contacts and improve containment
- BPO Enablement
- Build decision frameworks that empower BPO Team Leads to resolve issues without escalation
- Partner with Vendor Management and Quality to align BPO readiness with launch timelines and post-launch changes
- What You Bring
- 5+ years in customer experience, product operations, or CX strategy at a fintech, SaaS, or high-growth consumer company
- Demonstrated experience working directly with product and engineering teams -- holding them accountable, not just advising them
- Deeply data fluent: you pull and present support data to build a case, and you know the difference between a trend and noise
- Fluent in the product development lifecycle: PRDs, sprints, launch readiness, and post-launch monitoring
- Strong cross-functional project manager -- you can hold PMs, engineers, trainers, QA, and BPO partners to a shared timeline without formal authority
- Demonstrated AI fluency and a point of view on where automation
