Overview

The Principal Employee Experience Enablement Partner is a senior strategic individual contributor responsible for connecting employee experience (EX) to business outcomes through the principles of Total Experience (TX). This role serves as an internal consultant to business leaders, identifying friction points at the intersection of employee experience and customer experience to improve employee effectiveness, client satisfaction, retention, and organizational performance.

The core philosophy is that exceptional employee experiences create exceptional customer experiences.
