VP of Customer Experience | Remote or Hybrid
Grand Rapids, MI
Description

What we do

US Signal is a leading data center services provider, offering secure, reliable network, cloud hosting, colocation, data protection, and disaster recovery services — all powered by its expansive, robust fiber network. We also help customers optimize their IT resources through managed services and professional services that scale with their business.


The opportunity

US Signal is seeking a Vice President of Customer Experience to own and elevate the customer experience across our technical and support functions. This is a senior, enterprise-level leadership role reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer, with accountability for CX strategy, operational excellence, budget performance, and measurable outcomes across the full customer lifecycle.


This role is central to how customers experience US Signal — from day-to-day service quality through complex escalations and long-term retention. You will define the CX vision, build and develop leaders, drive continuous improvement, and partner closely with Sales, Engineering, Finance, and executive leadership to ensure our customers consistently receive the reliable, high-quality service they expect.


About the role

As VP of Customer Experience, you will set the strategy and lead the operational execution of customer experience at US Signal. You will oversee cross-functional teams supporting cloud, data center, and network infrastructure operations alongside customer support and service functions — owning the operating budget, the performance metrics, and the people who deliver on our commitments every day.


Success in this role requires both strategic vision and operational discipline, along with the ability to lead through managers, influence peers, and represent the voice of the customer at the executive level.


What you'll do

  • Set the CX vision and strategy. Define and execute a scalable operating model for Customer Experience aligned to US Signal's growth objectives, evolving service portfolio, and customer expectations. Translate strategy into executable priorities for the CX organization.
  • Lead operational execution. Oversee cross-functional teams responsible for service delivery, infrastructure support, and customer operations — ensuring SLA adherence, consistent execution, and scalable processes across cloud, data center, and network environments.
  • Champion the customer. Drive initiatives that improve satisfaction, reduce escalations, and strengthen retention. Surface customer feedback across the organization and close service gaps before they become problems.
  • Own financial performance. Manage the CX operating budget — headcount, tooling, and vendor spend — to deliver outcomes within financial targets. Monitor and report on cost center performance.
  • Hold the standard on performance. Own the KPIs and service level metrics that define US Signal's service quality. Lead continuous improvement efforts and hold teams accountable when results fall short.
  • Build a high-performance organization. Lead and develop managers and senior contributors across the CX function — setting clear expectations, coaching to outcomes, building succession depth, and fostering a culture of accountability and customer ownership. Partner across Sales, Engineering, Finance, and executive leadership to align delivery capabilities with business objectives.
