Vice President, Customer Care Technology – Enterprise Solution Architecture

Role Overview

• Own engineering delivery and operational excellence for the entire Care platform value chain (voice, chat, bots, routing, and internal tooling).
• Define and execute the technical strategy and multi-year roadmap in partnership with Product, CX/Operations, Security, and Architecture.
• Lead integration strategy and ongoing delivery for Genesys GCX, including release planning, upgrade paths, and change management.
• Drive containment effectiveness for the voice/chat bot engine: intent coverage, handoff quality, model/content governance, experimentation, and measurement.
• Own the routing architecture and evolution of the Single Routing Engine, ensuring correctness, extensibility of key/value routing signals, and fast iteration for business rules.
• Ensure the cloud “single pane of glass” application is performant, secure, and usable—improving agent productivity and operational visibility.
• Establish and enforce engineering standards for reliability (SLOs/SLIs), incident response, observability, capacity planning, and disaster recovery across all components.
• Build, mentor, and retain high-performing engineering leaders and teams; create clear ownership boundaries and an effective operating model.
• Partner with Data/Analytics to define success metrics and instrumentation across the customer journey (containment, transfer rates, AHT, CSAT drivers, routing accuracy).
• Manage technical risk, prioritize tradeoffs, and maintain a balanced portfolio across feature delivery, platform health, and technical debt reduction.

Requirements

• 10+ years of progressive software engineering leadership experience, including leading leaders (VP level) and owning mission-critical platforms.
• Proven experience delivering and operating customer-facing, high-availability systems with measurable reliability targets (e.g., SLOs).

• Experience building and running contact-center and/or customer support platforms (voice and chat) and integrating with enterprise SaaS systems.
• Track record of leading complex integrations and platform dependencies, with effective release governance and risk management.
• Demonstrated ability to build teams, set engineering standards, and drive execution through ambiguity.
