High Priority - Lead Program Manager, CX Transformation

One of Palo Alto Labs (PAL)'s large enterprise customers, a $1Bn+ financial software and tax technology company, is hiring a Lead Program Manager, CX Transformation, to help drive enterprise‑wide improvements in customer experience and service delivery.

The organization operates in a highly regulated, data‑intensive environment and serves customers across multiple industries. As the company continues to scale its AI‑enabled operating model, there is a strong focus on improving customer satisfaction, retention, and operational efficiency.

The customer journeys that matter most, including onboarding, product usage, support interactions, service delivery, and digital self‑service, span Product, Engineering, Customer Support, Content, Data, and Customer Experience teams. While customer data and signals are increasing, execution across these areas is not always consistent. Programs often slow down due to cross‑functional complexity, unclear ownership, and difficulty turning insight into scalable action.

This role exists to close that gap.

The Lead Program Manager, CX Transformation, is responsible for turning enterprise CX priorities into clear, coordinated execution. The role owns the design, sequencing, and delivery of large cross‑functional programs, including GenAI‑enabled self‑service, unified service delivery, predictive customer engagement, and customer onboarding.

This is a senior role that operates in a fast‑moving, ambiguous environment. Success requires strong executive presence, comfort working across functions, and full accountability for outcomes.

This role helps the organization improve customer retention, satisfaction, and operational efficiency by defining CX initiatives, sequencing them, and delivering them end-to-end. It reduces fragmentation by aligning teams around shared goals, priorities, and execution plans.

This role improves critical customer journeys across onboarding, support, and self‑service. The focus is on reducing customer effort, improving consistency, and ensuring that customer insights lead to real, implemented improvements rather than isolated initiatives.

This role brings structure and clarity to complex, cross‑functional work. It strengthens execution across Product, Engineering, and Customer teams by raising expectations around ownership, accountability, and delivery as processes and data continue to evolve.

A strong performer in this role helps the organization improve execution discipline and deliver measurable results across customer experience programs.

Enterprise CX programs are launched across self‑service, service delivery, predictive engagement, and onboarding. Clear program structures and sequencing are established across Product, Engineering, and Customer teams. Customer insight is translated into executable plans. Measurable improvements are visible in customer effort, experience quality, and operational efficiency.

Sustained impact on customer retention and efficiency. Stronger cross‑functional execution with reduced fragmentation. A consistent pipeline of well‑defined, customer‑driven CX initiatives that scale across the organization.

The organization operates with an AI‑first mindset, and this role will actively embed AI into CX transformation programs.

The Lead Program Manager identifies where AI can meaningfully improve scale, responsiveness, and efficiency, particularly across self‑service, support, and customer engagement. We design programs that incorporate automation, predictive insight, and intelligent workflows in close partnership with Product, Engineering, and Data teams.

AI is applied deliberately to reduce customer effort and drive measurable business outcomes, not as surface‑level automation.
