Director of Customer Experience

Director of Customer Experience

Hansen Gress | Juneau, Alaska

Build the client experience engine for one of Alaska's fastest-growing MSPs.

Hansen Gress is a relationship-driven Managed Services Provider with deep roots in Juneau and an expanding presence in Anchorage. We're a 26-person team today, growing quickly and intentionally, with a clear vision for what the next stage of our company looks like.

We aren't a corporate machine, and we don't want to become one.

We run lean. We trust our people. We value accountability over bureaucracy and relationships over rigid hierarchy. We believe great leaders work alongside their teams, not above them.

As we continue to grow, we're looking for a Director of Customer Experience to take ownership of the entire client journey and help us build a scalable, repeatable, MSP-specific customer experience model.

This isn't a role for someone who wants to learn how an MSP operates.

We're looking for someone who has already done it.

You'll own and improve the entire client lifecycle, including:

• Sales alignment

• Client onboarding

• Account management

• Client retention

• Strategic account planning

• Client communication standards

• Customer health monitoring

You'll work closely with executive leadership to ensure that every client receives a consistent, high-quality experience from the first sales conversation through long-term partnership.

Improve Retention and Client Health

• Develop measurable customer health metrics

• Identify early warning signs for at-risk accounts

• Create proactive retention strategies

• Use data and client feedback to drive continuous improvement

• Serve as an escalation point for key client relationships

Develop and Mentor Client-Facing Teams

• Coach and develop account managers and client-facing employees

• Create accountability, structure, and growth opportunities within the team

• Lead by example and remain willing to roll up your sleeves when necessary

• Build processes first and then build teams around those processes

  • Customer success

• Escalation and client communication frameworks

• Experience building and documenting repeatable processes

You Are Someone Who...

Alaska Matters

We're looking for someone who isn't simply willing to relocate.

We're looking for someone who genuinely wants to build a life in Alaska.

Juneau offers a unique combination of meaningful work, strong community, and unmatched access to the outdoors. If mountains, trails, water, and a close-knit community sound appealing, we'd love to talk.
