Director of Customer Experience

Build the Customer Experience function at a fast growing DIY brand

Liquid Rubber is looking for a Director of Customer Experience to build and lead our customer support and customer insight function. This is a builder role for someone who enjoys leading people, creating structure, using data to make better decisions and helping customers succeed with real-world DIY projects. Most of our customers are homeowners choosing products, preparing surfaces, applying coatings and trying to complete projects successfully. They need clear guidance before they buy, practical support while they work and help resolving issues when projects do not go as planned. The opportunity is simple: build the Customer Experience operating system that helps more customers complete successful projects and helps Liquid Rubber make better decisions from what customers are telling us every day.

What You’ll Build and Lead

You will lead Liquid Rubber’s Customer Experience function across our major sales channels, including Shopify, Amazon, Home Depot, Lowe’s and Walmart. You will build practical systems for: customer support workflows, team roles and response standards technical support, troubleshooting and application guidance escalation paths, decision rights, repairs, refunds and warranty guidance workload, backlog and coverage visibility issue categorization, CX metrics, dashboards and recurring reporting refund, repair and warranty reason tracking customer insight reporting into Marketing, Channels and Content eDesk and AI-assisted support quality, coverage and knowledge gaps This is not about managing a ticket queue or building reports for the sake of reporting. It is about creating visibility into what customers are asking, where they are struggling, which issues are recurring and what problems are costing the business time or money. You will not own every fix across the company. But you will own making sure the customer signal is clear, evidence-based and reaching the right teams.

What Success Looks Like

In the first 6–12 months, success looks like: the team has clearer roles, workflows and operating routines support work is more visible and better understood CX metrics and reporting are in place recurring customer issues are categorized and tracked refunds, repairs and warranty issues are easier to understand by reason customer feedback is helping improve content, product education, listings and processes high-impact issues are escalated with data and recommended next steps decisions are increasingly based on data, patterns and impact

Who You Are

You are a builder. You like creating structure where things are not yet fully defined. You are comfortable stepping into a growing company, understanding how things work today and improving them without overcomplicating everything. You are data-first but practical. You know good reporting should help people make better decisions, not create bureaucracy. You can separate anecdotes from patterns and prioritize work based on frequency, customer impact, cost and preventability. You are also a strong people leader. You can create accountability without creating burnout. You lead with clarity, empathy and consistency. You do not need to be a technical product expert. You do need to be comfortable learning products, asking good questions and leading people who provide technical guidance to customers. An interest in DIY, home improvement or practical product problem-solving is a strong bonus.

This Role Is Not a Fit If You
