Advanced Customer Experience Specialist

Overview: 

The McGee & Co. Advanced Customer Experience (CX) Specialist is a new role for the Customer Experience Team. They know the systems, policies, and how to resolve complex cases. This person is a self-starter and does not wait for direction. They are highly independent, with a strong sense of ownership - someone who operates with the depth of a process expert, the composure of a leader, and the output of the team's highest performer.

This is the person the team turns to when a situation gets complicated and the person leadership relies on. They handle what others escalate, identify what others may miss, and operate with a level of ownership and accountability that goes well beyond their ticket queue. They shape the customer journey, surface the patterns in the data, and bring those insights back into the operation as improvements - not observations.

This is a role for someone who does not need to be told what the standard should look like. They demonstrate it. They are as comfortable owning a high-stakes escalation as they are guiding a junior associate through one, and they understand that the caliber they hold themselves to becomes the expectation the team inherits. They self-direct without prompting, think critically under pressure, and take initiative before someone else has to ask.
