Our customers rely on us for the best network and customer experience. You will be responsible for helping to grow and optimize our multi-modal Artificial Intelligence Automation experiences through our Digital Assistant ChatBot/Voice Bot. As part of the National Customer Service Consumer Group, you will work on identifying the strategic direction, planning, and execution of digitally connected experiences powered by Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning driven insights and leading technologies.

• Collaborate with project managers, marketing, Digital Operations (app/vzw.com), and platform / AI solution vendors to create & execute personalization solutions.
• Lead cross-functional teams and manage the execution of detailed project plans ensuring all stakeholders are engaged, deliverables are completed on-time and on budget applying problem-solving skills when necessary to address risks.

• Work closely with onshore and offshore teams in guiding the design, development, testing, process and product release as well as leading ongoing quality/experience audits.
