Develop a framework for evaluating criticality and business impact of surfaced pain points. * Present customer pain points to senior leadership, leveraging high-impact data insights and customer journey storytelling. Apply the most relevant lens depending on the audience and pain point (e.g. segment them by client, product, customer journey). * Advocate with cross-functional partners for addressing the customer pain points through required technical, operational, and experiential improvements. Drive cross-functional prioritization of customer-impacting fixes, establish shared OKRs, and track impact back to the customer. * Partner with the Tier 1 and Tier 2 support teams to ensure bi-directional feedback on the VoC process, tooling, and outcomes. Design and maintain an intent and root cause taxonomy, making sure support teams, as well as AI support, categorize issues correctly and consistently. * Build, hire, and develop the team, setting its priorities, resourcing, and ways of working as the program scales. * This role is primarily office-based, with periodic travel to meet with key stakeholders and cross-functional partners across Aurora's offices. Required Qualifications * 8+ years in customer support, CX, customer insights, or support analytics, including 4+ years owning a support-focused VoC or customer-feedback program end to end. * Demonstrated ability to turn qualitative and quantitative customer signals into prioritized, actionable insights that influenced product, engineering, or operational decisions, driving reduction in contact rate. * High proficiency with data analysis, verbatim and thematic analysis, taxonomy design, and experience with AI customer insights tools. * Excellent storytelling and executive communication; skilled at building alignment and influencing without authority across functions. * Experience building and leading a team, and standing up a program from scratch, in ambiguous, fast-paced environments. Desirable Qualifications * Background in a customer-facing function (Support or Customer Success) before moving into insights. * Familiarity with CRM tools (e.g., Salesforce), in particular their functionality and/or integrations with customer insights tools. * Experience with customer advocacy in highly technical and safety-critical environments.
