Senior Director of Customer Care & Service Recovery – North America Contact Center Operations, Loyalty Growth, and Revenue Optimization Leader at arenaflex
About arenaflex – Pioneering Mobility Solutions
arenaflex is a global leader in mobility services, offering a portfolio of rental, leasing, and subscription solutions that empower millions of travelers each year. With a heritage of innovation and a commitment to sustainability, arenaflex operates a vast network of locations across North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond. Our brand is synonymous with reliability, convenience, and exceptional customer experiences. As we continue to evolve in a rapidly changing transportation landscape, we are looking for visionary leaders who can turn operational excellence into strategic growth.
Why This Role Matters
The Senior Director of Customer Care & Service Recovery is more than a managerial position—it is a catalyst for revenue generation, cost efficiency, and brand loyalty. In this role you will own the end‑to‑end customer experience after the transaction, shaping how millions of renters perceive arenaflex at the most critical touchpoint: when something goes wrong. Your leadership will directly influence top‑line performance, drive measurable improvements in Net Promoter Score (NPS) and Customer Satisfaction (CSAT), and embed a culture where service recovery is a profit center rather than a cost center.
Key Responsibilities
1. Omni‑Channel Contact Center Leadership
- Direct the strategy, execution, and continuous improvement of phone, live chat, email, and agency‑driven support channels serving millions of customers across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
- Set and monitor performance against critical metrics such as Service Level Agreements (SLAs), CSAT, cost‑per‑contact, and first‑call resolution.
- Manage vendor relationships, workforce planning, and technology roadmaps, ensuring the contact center platform remains cutting‑edge and scalable.
- Oversee revenue‑generating service interactions, including upsell of insurance replacements, rental extensions, and value‑added services.
- Coordinate with third‑party partners—body shops, insurance carriers, and logistics providers—to streamline the vehicle‑recovery journey and maximize fleet utilization.
- Develop and present regular financial reports that capture both cost savings and revenue impact, providing clear insight to senior leadership.
2. Service Recovery Transformation
- Design, pilot, and scale recovery workflows that turn problem resolution into repeat business and advocacy.
- Implement a data‑driven feedback loop that surfaces the most critical pain points, prioritizes fixes, and measures the impact on NPS and retention.
- Partner with product, sales, and finance teams to close service gaps, empower agents with decision‑making authority, and embed empathy into every interaction.
- Build talent development programs, incentive structures, and technology tools that make service recovery a high‑performance function.
3. Strategic Business Alignment
- Collaborate closely with the VP of Customer Experience, Revenue Management, Operations, and Product to align service initiatives with broader corporate objectives.
- Lead cross‑functional projects that integrate loyalty segmentation, predictive analytics, and personalized outreach to increase customer lifetime value.
- Champion a culture of continuous improvement, encouraging experimentation, rapid learning, and scalable best practices across distributed teams.
Essential Qualifications
- 10+ years of progressive leadership experience in high‑volume contact center, customer support, or loyalty program environments.
- Proven track record of delivering measurable improvements in both cost efficiency (e.g., reduced cost‑per‑contact) and revenue generation (e.g., upsell conversion rates).
- Deep understanding of customer segmentation, journey mapping, and the economics of service recovery.
- Strong analytical mindset with the ability to translate complex data sets into actionable strategies and clear business outcomes.
- Demonstrated success managing remote, distributed, and BPO‑partnered teams across multiple time zones.
- Expertise with modern contact center platforms (e.g., Genesys, NICE, Five9), CRM systems (e.g., Salesforce), and automation tools (e.g., chatbots, RPA).
- Exceptional communication and influencing skills—comfortable presenting to executive leadership and coaching front‑line staff.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in the automotive rental or mobility‑as‑a‑service industry, preferably with a legacy brand undergoing digital transformation.
- Advanced degree in Business Administration, Operations Management, or a related field.
- Certification in Six Sigma, Lean, or other process‑improvement methodologies.
- Hands‑on experience designing and launching AI‑driven self‑service solutions.
- Track record of launching loyalty or retention programs that achieved double‑digit growth in repeat usage.
