Job Title: Program Manager — Customer Retention AI Agent (Google CCAI)
Location: Charlotte NC
Rate: $75 to $80
Role Summary
We're looking for a seasoned Program Manager to lead the end-to-end delivery of a customer retention agent built on Google's Contact Center AI (CCAI) / Dialogflow CX platform. This is a cross-functional program spanning conversational design, engineering, data, and CX operations — you'll own scope, timeline, risk, and stakeholder alignment from discovery through production launch and scale.
Key Responsibilities
• Own the program roadmap, milestones, and delivery cadence for the retention agent build (discovery → design → build → pilot → GA)
• Coordinate cross-functional squads: conversational designers, Dialogflow CX/CCAI engineers, data/ML teams, QA, and contact center operations
• Manage vendor/SI relationships if a systems integrator or Google Cloud partner is involved
• Define and track program KPIs (containment rate, retention lift, deflection rate, CSAT/NPS impact, AHT reduction)
• Run governance: steering committee updates, RAID logs, budget tracking, and change management
• Drive integration planning across CRM, telephony/CCaaS, billing, and retention-offer systems
• Manage phased rollout strategy (pilot cohort → regional → full production) and post-launch optimization cycles
• Escalate and resolve cross-team blockers; manage dependencies between engineering, data privacy/compliance, and business stakeholders
Required Qualifications
• 10+ years of program/project management experience, including 3+ years managing AI/conversational AI, CX, or contact-center technology programs
• Hands-on program delivery experience with Genesys Cloud CX (or comparable enterprise contact-center platform) environments
• Working knowledge of Google Cloud Contact Center AI (CCAI) / Dialogflow CX, or strong aptitude to ramp quickly on the platform
• Proven experience managing customer retention, churn-reduction, or customer experience transformation initiatives
• Strong stakeholder management skills — comfortable presenting to VP/C-level sponsors and running working sessions with engineers
• Experience with Agile/Scrum and hybrid delivery models; PMP, PgMP, or SAFe certification a plus
• Familiarity with CRM (Salesforce/ServiceNow), telephony integrations, and data privacy considerations (PCI, PII) in contact center contexts
Nice to Have
• Prior experience specifically launching a virtual agent / conversational AI bot into a live contact center
• Experience with retention/loyalty program design (offers, save desks, win-back campaigns)
• Google Cloud certification (Professional Cloud Architect or CCAI-specific training)Years of Experience: 14.00 Years of Experience
