This role

The Optimization Product Manager is responsible for the strategic vision, roadmap, and performance of our self service tools like Chatbots and IVR.

• User Centric Design and UX Ownership: Design and optimize customer facing chatbot and IVR flows, ensuring intuitive user journeys and high containment rates.

• Stakeholder Management and Requirements Gathering: Act as the primary bridge between Operations, Data, and Engineering teams to convert business needs into clear development tickets and product requirements.

• Product Quality and Performance Monitoring: Take ownership of the end to end quality of self service tools, defining success metrics and supervising the QA process to ensure bug free, efficient releases.

• Data Driven Decision Making: Partner with the Data team to ensure data consistency across platforms, using analytics to identify friction points in the user journey and drive continuous improvement.

• Market Research and Innovation: Actively research emerging trends in AI and automation, evaluating new vendors and technologies to keep our support ecosystem competitive and scalable.

• SLA and Performance Oversight: Ensure platform stability and high system uptime by monitoring performance against SLAs and coordinating the resolution of critical incidents with technical teams.
