Responsibilities

• Define and Lead CX Strategy: Drive and evolve the multi‑year Customer Experience strategy for S&P Global Energy, aligned to enterprise and divisional priorities.

Ensure CX strategy is outcome‑driven, supporting growth, retention, adoption, and client lifetime value.
• Drive Customer‑Centric Behaviour Across the Division: Act as a catalyst for customer‑centric decision‑making at all levels of the Energy organization. Embed CX thinking into strategic planning, QBRs, investment cases, and operating rhythms. Shift CX from a set of initiatives and support function to a core way the business operates.
• Partner with Business Line Strategy Leaders: Serve as a strategic partner to Strategy Leads across Energy business lines. Ensure business line strategies reflect shared divisional CX priorities and consistent customer outcomes, while respecting business‑specific needs. Identify cross‑business experience opportunities and systemic friction that require enterprise‑level alignment.

• Innovation & Future‑Ready CX: Champion CX innovation, including AI‑enabled experiences and emerging methods for the customer of the future. Support the development of strategic CX innovation bets where experimentation can unlock step‑change customer and business value. Ensure innovation efforts are intentional, scalable, and tied to measurable outcomes.
• Governance, Measurement & Executive Storytelling: Own the CX strategic framework, roadmap, and governance model. Define success measures that link CX performance to business impact, not just sentiment. Lead the development of executive‑level CX narratives for senior leadership and board‑level forums.
