About Decagon
Decagon is the leading conversational AI platform empowering every brand to deliver concierge customer experience. Our AI agents provide intelligent, human-like responses across chat, email, and voice, resolving millions of customer inquiries across every language and at any time.
Since coming out of stealth, Decagon has experienced rapid growth. We partner with industry leaders like Hertz, Eventbrite, Duolingo, Oura, Bilt, Curology, and Samsara to redefine customer experience at scale. We've raised over $200M from Bain Capital Ventures, Accel, a16z, BOND Capital, A*, Elad Gil, and notable angels such as the founders of Box, Airtable, Rippling, Okta, Lattice, and Klaviyo.
We’re an in-office company, driven by a shared commitment to excellence and velocity. Our values—customers are everything, relentless momentum, winner’s mindset, and stronger together—shape how we work and grow as a team.
About the Role
As the Strategy & Operations Lead, Customer Experience, you will own high-impact strategic initiatives that define how Decagon engages with and delivers value to our B2B customers.
Your first mission will be to launch and scale Decagon's Customer Enablement function – a high-leverage program that empowers customers to fully adopt and maximize value from the Decagon platform.
Once this function is up and running, you’ll take on other top-priority strategic projects for the Agent Product Management team that elevate customer value and improve efficiency.
This role sits within Agent Product Management, which owns the customer relationship from deployment through the lifetime of the partnership. You’ll work cross-functionally with Solutions Engineering (pre-sales), Agent Product Management, Product Marketing, and Product.
We’re looking for a technically-inclined builder-operator: someone who will deep-dive into learning our product, set vision and strategy, roll up their sleeves to execute, and continuously adapt in a fast-moving environment. This role is in-person 5 days/week in our San Francisco office.
