Role - Head of Customer Success & Happiness

About The Role

We are seeking a results-driven, customer-obsessed leader to build and scale the Customer Service & Operations function for a newly launching digital telco brand in the MENA region. This is a foundational leadership role responsible for delivering exceptional customer experiences, driving operational rigor, and embedding customer-centricity into every part of the business.

The ideal candidate brings deep experience in CX strategy, digital operations, and service design, with a proven track record of leading high-performing teams in fast-paced digital consumer or B2C telco environments.

What you will be doing

  • Lead end-to-end Customer Operations : Oversee the full customer lifecycle, from onboarding to issue resolution, ensuring every customer touchpoint is optimized for speed, simplicity, and satisfaction.
  • Design and scale service models : Design scalable, digital-first service operations leveraging chatbots, AI-assisted support tools, self-service journeys, and CRM platforms to reduce customer friction and increase resolution rates.
  • Deliver on key customer metrics : Drive measurable improvements in CSAT, NPS, TAT, first-contact resolution and other customer metrics, ensuring alignment with business KPIs / OKRs.
  • Operational transformation : Collaborate with the Circles Digital Advisory & Support Services ("DASS") Customer Services & Operations teams to design and implement policies, processes and controls that improve service delivery, while managing vendor performance, SLAs and compliance standards; as well as delivering on key CX transformation initiatives.
  • Cross-functional collaboration : Collaborate closely with the country operations team to ensure seamless execution of service initiatives and customer-impacting programs.
  • Build and lead a high-performing team : Recruit, mentor, and empower a lean, agile operations team that thrives on data, accountability and efficiency-first thinking.
  • What we are looking for

  • 15+ years of leadership experience in customer service, CX, and operations within consumer-facing (B2C) industries, such as telecom, fintech, e-commerce, or digital tech.
  • Proven success leading large, distributed teams (25+ FTEs and / or BPO agents) across operational and customer support functions.
  • Strong understanding of CX lifecycle management and success in improving customer satisfaction (NPS, CSAT, CES) through both strategy and execution.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage complex programs, large-scale transformation projects, and third-party service / vendor ecosystems.
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with demonstrated ability to manage senior stakeholders.
  • Experience designing and managing AI-enabled service journeys, automation tools, and digital support platforms strongly preferred.
  • Ability to thrive in high-growth, fast-paced environments with a startup mindset strongly preferred.
  • Deep operational mindset with experience in LEAN / Six Sigma or other continuous improvement frameworks strongly preferred.
  • Prior experience in the MENA region and knowledge of local consumer dynamics and habits is strongly preferred.
  • Equal Opportunity and Diversity Statement

    Circles is committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace. We are an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate on the basis of race, national origin, gender, disability or age.
