• Several years of experience in a senior role within Operations, Customer Experience, or Retention – ideally in a digital B2C environment.
• A strong intuition for customer needs and the ability to make data-driven decisions while optimizing processes along the customer journey.
• Proven experience leading larger teams; you see yourself as an enabler and know how to motivate, develop, and align teams toward shared goals.
• A process-driven mindset, hands-on attitude, and strong prioritization skills – ideally with experience using OKRs or similar frameworks.
• A collaborative spirit and the ability to bring together stakeholders across different departments, even without formal authority.
