Manager of Associate Enablement & Communications - Customer Protection Operations (Hybrid)

Overview

Manager of Associate Enablement & Communications - Customer Protection Operations (Hybrid)

As the Manager of Associate Enablement & Communications on the Customer Protection (CP) Chief of Staff team, you will serve as the end-to-end owner of the communications and enablement strategy for our CP Operations organization. Reporting to the CP Chief of Staff, your work is about creating connection in every sense: you will connect associates to the tactical information they need to succeed, from critical process changes to daily operational updates. At the same time, you will connect them to their senior leaders, ensuring leadership messages land with impact and that our global team feels seen and heard. Ultimately, you will empower our front-line associates by ensuring they are informed, engaged, and prepared to deliver an exceptional customer experience. While your primary focus will be on the Customer Protection Ops organization, you will capitalize on opportunities to scale your efforts to CP's broader non-exempt population when appropriate

More than a compelling storyteller, we are looking for a true end-to-end strategist and a well-managed executor. The ideal candidate is an expert in stakeholder management who builds productive relationships with partners at all levels, from front-line associates to senior leaders. You excel at translating high-level strategy into compelling narratives that resonate across the organization, bringing structure to ambiguity, and leading complex, open-ended problem solving. Success in this role requires operating autonomously with an emphasis on well-managed execution, demonstrating sound judgment to make the right trade-offs, and maintaining an 'associate-forward' mindset in every decision.
