Head of Customer Experience

About the role

OuterSignal is hiring a Head of Customer Experience. This is a senior leadership role with full ownership of the CX function: setting the standard for how the company serves its most important customers, building out the team and systems, and preparing the organization to scale. This is a player-coach position at an early-stage company. The right person will take direct ownership of the highest-stakes enterprise relationships, lead a growing team of customer success professionals, and define what great looks like across the function. The company moves fast, and this person needs to match that pace.

Responsibilities

• Own our most strategic accounts - serve as the senior relationship holder for OuterSignal's most important enterprise clients.
• Lead and develop the team - coach a growing CX team, with plans to build out dedicated SMB, mid-market, enterprise, and onboarding/PLG functions within the next 12 months.
• Build the department's infrastructure - stand up the playbooks, onboarding processes, churn-prevention strategies, and QBR frameworks the function runs on.
• Partner with sales on handoffs - ensure a clean transition from close to onboarding so new brands activate quickly.
• Be the internal voice of the customer - influence the product roadmap and work alongside engineering to make sure customer needs are prioritized.
• Hire and grow CX talent - recruit and develop the people who will carry the function as the team scales.

Requirements

• 5+ years in a B2B SaaS customer success or customer experience role, with at least 2+ years leading or running a team.
• Demonstrated experience with e-commerce or DTC brands, and a strong grasp of what heads of e-commerce, retention marketers, and growth teams care about.
• Background at companies serving the Shopify or broader e-commerce ecosystem strongly preferred - think Attentive, Klaviyo, or Iterable.
• Executive presence and real comfort in senior conversations with CMOs, heads of ecommerce, and brand founders.
• Familiarity with the e-commerce agency world is a meaningful plus, particularly as OuterSignal expands its email-marketing capabilities through the Monocle acquisition.
• Proven ability to operate in a fast-moving, early-stage environment and build structure where little exists.
• Strong communicator who can advocate for customers internally and shape strategy at the leadership level.
