What you’ll be doing...

A little about Visible:

Named one of Fast Company’s most innovative companies and Adweek’s Challenger Brand of the Year, Visible is a three-year old company that is centered on reimagining what wireless shouldbe: simple, accessible, and inclusive. Visible is the first digital-only wireless carrier in the US, which means we provide exquisite service and focus on making everything about wireless easy, passing the savings from no stores, no call centers, and no paper bills to our members. We have built our member experience around communities and challenging the traditional family plan model in the industry - and we’re having a lot of fun doing it.

Visible is headquartered in Denver, CO, and the team is growing rapidly. We are a team of passionate people building the future of mobile phone service from ground up. No single day will feel the same, and change is the only constant. If you love all of that, plus the challenge of delivering the best experience to our customers in the simplest ways (and knowing that simple requires a lot of work behind-the-scenes), check us out at https://visible.com. We are Visible.

Visible is a division of Verizon and powered by Verizon’s award-winning networks, but operates uniquely inside the larger entity. A “startup with suspenders,” taking all the best elements of startup scrappiness with a mind toward disruption, innovation, and culture, and leveraging the assets and benefits of the larger corporation’s backing. We like to think of it as best of both worlds. Much like we are remaking wireless in blending the lines between prepaid and postpaid, and between the value and premium markets.

Visible’s CXO/Head of Customer Experience & Design will lead the end-to-end customer journey, responsible for optimizing design and execution across all our digital experiences and customer care operations. As a digital-only carrier, our experiences are all through our web experience and app, and this role will own how our prospects and members order, receive, pay, and manage their Visible service to optimize acquisition, retention, and NPS, all while retaining and growing our unique brand identity as a disrupter and challenger to the standard wireless carrier experiences. The Director will work across the entire company, including our executive team and our partners within Verizon, and operate with an insights-led and consumer-centric approach to our user experience design and CX. The CXO is a key member of the executive team who will drive impact for the business by building seamless experiences for our products and services to build loyalty and brand advocacy.
