• Build and maintain the data architecture and pipelines that connect CX activity to business outcomes, ensuring data is accessible and structured for analysis

• Generate data-driven insights for QBRs, executive reviews, and board-level reporting

• Analyze ticket trends, escalation patterns, and resolution data to surface product issues, process breakdowns, and resource gaps

Partner Health & Predictive Analytics

• Enhance and manage the partner health scoring methodology — ensuring scores are accurate, actionable, and consistently maintained across the partner portfolio

• Help build predictive churn and expansion models that enable proactive intervention by Partner Success Managers

• Monitor partner health indicators across the portfolio and flag at-risk accounts to CX leadership before issues escalate

• Build and maintain the data infrastructure required to analyze processing volumes, merchant concentration, approval rates, and revenue trends — ensuring the right data is accessible and structured to surface growth and retention opportunities

Strategic Initiatives

• Maintain the operational cadence of CX — recurring reports, metric reviews, process documentation, and operational housekeeping

• Execute on strategic initiatives directed by CX leadership — from new tool rollouts to process redesigns to cross-functional projects

• Coordinate cross-functional initiatives with Operations, Product, and Engineering that require CX operational input or alignment

QA Infrastructure & Reporting

• Build and configure QA scoring rubrics within support tooling, collaborating with CX Training & Knowledge Specialist.
