The individual will also champion AI integration initiatives within the Customer Service organization, helping identify opportunities to enhance efficiency, insights, and service delivery. In addition, the position supports quality monitoring and continuous improvement efforts across a high-volume business portfolio, encompassing approximately 13,000 calls, 36,000 emails, and 60,000 orders annually, representing $1.7B in revenue.
