Principal, Systems Operations
The Qualtrics XM Platform™ is a system of action that helps businesses to attract customers who stay longer and buy more, to engage and empower employees to do the best work of their lives, to develop breakthrough products people love, and to build a brand people can’t imagine living without.
Joining Qualtrics means becoming part of a team bold enough to chase breakthrough experiences - like building a technology that will be a force for good. A team committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion because of a conviction that every voice holds value, with a vision for representation that matches the world around us and inclusion that far exceeds it. You could belong to a team whose values center on transparency, being all in, having customer obsession, acting as one team, and operating with scrappiness. All so you can do the best work of your career.
We believe every interaction is an opportunity. Are we yours?
The Challenge
The Services Systems Operations team drives business objectives across the Professional Services, Customer Success, and Global Operations (product support) team at Qualtrics. We design system-based solutions to enable the success of employees and improve the experience of our customers.
As Qualtrics continues to scale rapidly, our customers have growing expectations of excellent service, support, and relationship management. Since we are the preeminent experience company, customers expect us to offer an outstanding experience whenever they work with Qualtrics. Additionally, our rapid growth necessitates continuous streamlining of internal processes to enable our teams to scale successfully. As we strive to hit an ever higher bar, we are looking for operational leaders who can spearhead creative initiatives to rethink our service, customer success, and product support experiences.
Expectations for Success
As a Systems Owner in our services department, you will have ownership over enablement of specific business outcomes, as well as business critical systems. You will work closely with internal teams to understand their experience with our systems, and the extent to which our systems enable them to be successful. You will develop a clear vision and roadmap for each system that you own, and work with engineering and user teams to drive initiatives against that roadmap.
You should have experience working in an internally-facing support or consulting role, and understand the fundamentals of process and system design, as well as user experience. You will be idea driven and analytically minded. You may or may not be able to write your own code, but you understand the foundational aspects of systems interactions, data flows, and integrations, and you can have meaningful conversations with engineers about technical solutions. You will be able to break down an ambiguous problem into a clearly understood and defined set of root causes, design and validate system-based solutions, and execute large scale changes through vendor selection, requirements development, POC, implementation and change management. You have an entrepreneurial mindset and enjoy designing innovative process and system solutions.
We believe strongly in service design and our operations team has an outward-in mindset mirroring our company’s core tenant of being customer obsessed.
You should have experience in operational excellence, technology consulting, or solution design; ideally all of the above!
