Head of Customer Experience

<p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>About OuterSignal</strong></p><p style="min-height:1.5em">We are building the customer intelligence layer for commerce. Brands know when an order comes in, but they only see ~5% of the real story. We show them the other 95%: not just who bought, but who that person is — the execs, influencers, journalists, retail buyers, investors, and everyday customers who become a brand’s best evangelists. Our platform enriches every order in real time with professional and personal signals, builds personas, and powers everything from surprise-and-delight outreach to smarter email flows, analytics, and BD leads. We’re a small, high-performing team building the category-defining platform for e-commerce customer intelligence, backed by a world-class investor base.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>The Opportunity</strong></p><p style="min-height:1.5em">OuterSignal is hiring a Head of Customer Experience.
