About the role

We're looking for a Director of Customer Experience to own the full member journey — from the moment someone signs up to the ongoing relationship we build with them over years of pet care. This is a senior leadership role at the intersection of operations, product, and brand: you'll shape how Dutch members feel at every touchpoint, build and scale the team that makes it happen, and advocate relentlessly for the customer inside the organization.

What they're looking for

  • A track record of improving customer retention and satisfaction at scale
  • Experience owning CSAT, NPS, and related metrics as a business driver — not just a reporting exercise
  • Strong people leadership: you know how to hire well, develop your team, and build a culture people want to be part of
  • Experience working in a cross-functional environment where CX doesn't own everything but influences everything
  • Familiarity with modern CX tooling (Zendesk, Intercom, Kustomer, Gorgias, Gladly) and a strong opinion about how AI and automation should (and shouldn't) be used in member support
  • Excellent written and verbal communication — you can write a sharp escalation policy and a thoughtful member-facing apology email with equal facility
