• Interpret data to explain what is changing, why trends are occurring, and what the findings mean for the customer experience and the business.
• Develop clear insights narratives and reporting that help stakeholders understand what the data is telling us, what is different from prior trends, and where improvement opportunities exist.
• Support integrations between CX platforms and operational systems such as Salesforce and Qlik to enable deeper analysis and a more complete customer view.
• Implement text analytics and sentiment analysis to surface emerging themes and prioritize improvement opportunities.
• Establish and maintain closed-loop feedback workflows, including triggers, alerts, and follow-up processes.
