More about this role
This role is the lead execution and strategic engine of the customer experience transformation initiatives across Freshworks' Global Customer Services (GCS) organization. This role partners directly with the VP of GCS to build and execute a world-class vision for customer experience transformation. Following GCS's recent consolidation under a unified ‘From Go-Live to Growth’ mission, the role designs and operates the operating rhythm, governance frameworks, and strategic planning processes for a ~500-person global team spanning Professional Services, Support, Customer Success, Education, Adoption, and Voice of the Customer.
This is a high-leverage role for an inspirational leader who serves as a scale function for the global leader, bridging the services organization with Product and Engineering to align in-product improvements with operational efficiency, while championing Customer Success strategies that secure lasting adoption. The role does not manage a functional silo directly, but holds delegated authority to drive execution across the GCS leadership team, eliminate executive bottlenecks, and represent the VP in cross-functional forums with Sales, Finance, HR, and Product.
