Vice President, Customer Care

Dobson is seeking a Vice President of Customer Care to lead and transform the post-install customer experience for residential and commercial customers. This executive will oversee high-volume contact center and support operations across Customer Care, Payments, Sales, Activation/Retention, Tier 2 Technical Support, Voice Support, and Field Hotline.

Reporting directly to the COO, the VP of Customer Care will build a modern, metrics-driven organization that can scale with a high-growth business. The top first-year mandate is to establish core NPS and CSAT programs, robust performance scorecards and dashboards, and a durable workforce management operating rhythm grounded in clear, consistent metrics.

 Key responsibilities

• Own end-to-end post-install customer support strategy and execution for both B2B and B2C customers.
• Lead all contact center and support functions, including Customer Care, Payments, Sales, Activation/Retention, Tier 2 Technical Support, Voice Support, and Field Hotline.
• Design and implement a comprehensive KPI framework, including SLA, abandon rate, ASA, AHT, FCR, NPS, CSAT, QA, and adherence.
• Build and mature workforce management practices, including forecasting, staffing, scheduling, and intraday management across queues and locations.
• Develop and roll out agent, team, and queue-level scorecards and dashboards to drive transparency, accountability, and coaching.
• Lead performance improvement efforts across customer-facing operations, reducing queue times, abandons, and hold times while improving customer outcomes.
• Evaluate and optimize hours of operation, staffing models, and channels, including phone, email, chat, social, in-app, and self-service, to align capacity with demand.
• Stand up and scale NPS and CSAT programs for post-install journeys, including survey design, reporting, and closed-loop follow-up.
• Partner with Sales, Product, Marketing, Finance, and IT to reduce avoidable contact drivers, improve self-service, and ensure the voice of the customer shapes roadmap and process decisions.
• Build a high-performance culture with strong leadership, coaching, training, and quality programs.
• Over time, evolve the function from primarily reactive support toward a broader role in renewals, upsell, and expansion.

Ideal candidate profile

• 10+ years of progressive leadership in high-volume contact center or customer care environments; telecom, utilities, or similar subscription-based services strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated success building or transforming service operations in a growth or change context, including standing up KPIs, workforce management, scorecards, and governance.
• Bachelor’s degree required; MBA or other relevant advanced degree preferred.
• Proven track record improving service levels, reducing abandon rates and queue times, and driving measurable improvements in NPS, CSAT, and FCR.
• Experience leading multi-function teams across care, technical support, and related operations, with comfort managing both voice and digital channels.
• Strong command of workforce management, forecasting, and scheduling in multi-queue environments.
• Familiarity with modern customer platforms such as CCaaS, CRM, ticketing, knowledge base, QA/WFM, and analytics tools.
• Hands-on leadership style, equally comfortable on the contact center floor and in the executive boardroom.
• Exceptional ability to influence cross-functional partners and drive alignment across Operations, Sales, Product, Marketing, Finance, and IT.
• Demonstrated capability to build, coach, and strengthen leadership talent while maintaining engagement and performance during change.
