About The Position

Visual Comfort & Co. is the premier resource for decorative and architectural lighting, ceiling fans, system controls and automated shading solutions from the most influential designers in the world. We are proud to offer a market-leading range of premium products across categories, styles and price points, remaining committed to beautiful design and, above all, a world-class customer experience. At Visual Comfort, we believe exceptional customer experiences start with exceptional team experiences. The Customer Experience Manager is a people-first leader who inspires, develops, and serves their team — creating an environment where people feel valued, supported, and set up to do their best work. This role partners cross-functionally to build operational excellence while championing a culture of trust, growth, and genuine care for both our team members and our customers. The Customer Experience Manager will lead a team of Customer Experience Supervisors, Representatives, and adjacent roles — not just managing performance but actively investing in the people behind it. This role will use data and insights as tools to coach and empower, not simply to measure.
