• Partner with cross-functional teams across digital product, marketing, data and analytics, legal, compliance, and technology to bring new CX Alpha concepts to life.  

• Use qualitative and quantitative analysis to continually improve the client experience while balancing client value, business priorities, feasibility, and risk.  

• Help shape the broader CX Alpha vision and ensure diversified portfolio priorities align with Personal Wealth’s goals and long-term strategy.  

• Challenge business and technical partners to think creatively and drive toward scalable, high-quality solutions.  

• Participate in and influence ongoing business planning and departmental prioritization activities.
