📋 Description

• Contribute to the product vision and roadmap for IVR and call routing, aligning with enterprise customer experience and operational strategies. • Collaborate with fellow Product Managers to manage the lifecycle of IVR and routing features: ideation, requirements gathering, design, testing, launch, adoption, and ongoing optimization. • Provide input to leadership to help guide investment decisions and prioritize initiatives that deliver measurable business and customer value. • Support backlog management by helping translate business problems into prioritized product initiatives, user stories, and acceptance criteria. • Partner with Agile/Scrum teams to deliver high-quality features and enhancements in alignment with roadmap priorities. • Provide timely feedback on iterations to ensure product outcomes meet business objectives. • Represent the "voice of the customer" and contact center operations during product discussions and solution design. • Participate in user research, journey mapping, and discovery workshops to validate assumptions and improve call flow design. • Advocate for usability, accessibility, and compliance in IVR design to ensure all solutions meet regulatory and customer needs. • Engage in discovery and test-and-learn activities to validate new features and routing strategies. • Stay informed about industry trends (AI-driven IVR, predictive routing, real-time translation) and provide recommendations on applicability. • Partner with peers and vendors to explore adoption of emerging CCaaS capabilities. • Help define, track, and report on key performance indicators (KPIs) such as IVR containment rate, routing accuracy, call deflection, handle time impact, and customer satisfaction (NPS/CSAT). • Collaborate with analytics teams to derive actionable insights from call journey data, customer feedback, and operational metrics. • Support pilots or A/B tests to measure feature performance prior to large-scale rollout. • Work closely with IT, compliance, legal, and security teams to ensure adherence to regulatory and data protection requirements (e.g., PCI, state-level regulations). • Partner with Workforce Management (WFM), Quality Management (QM), and analytics teams to align routing strategies with agent utilization and customer satisfaction goals. • Contribute to training and enablement efforts that prepare operational teams for changes in call flow or routing logic.
