About The Position

Delivering differentiated customer experience at HealthEquity requires a trusted, integrated foundation of Customer Experience (CX) platforms, analytics, and data science—one that enables understanding, prioritization, action, and learning at enterprise scale. The Director, CX Platform & Data Strategy owns the CX technology and data backbone that powers customer understanding and CX decision-making. This role ensures CX platforms, analytics, and data science operate as a single, coherent capability that leaders trust and teams act on. This leader brings deep CX platform expertise together with strong data science fluency, enabling faster, more confident decisions grounded in customer and business outcomes. This role requires direct, hands-on experience building CX and data platforms (data models, pipelines, logic, and systems)—not solely leading or overseeing delivery. Agentic CX implementation experience is essential to unify Voice of Customer (VoC) signals and enable automated, scalable insight-to-action systems across the enterprise.

Requirements

Proven experience personally building CX or data platforms, including data pipelines, data models, logic, or decisioning systems.
Demonstrated ability to translate customer signals into concrete actions and business decisions, not just insights or reporting.
Experience operating in resource-constrained environments, with limited reliance on centralized data or engineering teams.
Strong orientation toward speed, iteration, and MVP delivery (building in phases vs. waiting for full-scale solutions).
Hands-on engagement with data, analytics, and system design, not solely leading teams.
