About the Job You’re Considering
As AI reshapes how organizations operate, compete, and create value, we are evolving our consulting model to be AI-enabled by design, augmenting human judgment with analytics, automation, and generative AI. We are looking for leaders who are curious, adaptable, and ready to help clients reimagine how work gets done.
frog is the reinvention and experience partner for the eco-digital era and the customer experience and design practice of Capgemini Invent. Within frog’s Customer Transformation practice, we help organizations modernize customer service by connecting experience strategy, operating-model transformation, AI-enabled service, field operations, data, design, and technology.
This Director, Customer Experience Transformation, you will serve as a senior advisor to a major Energy & Utilities client and help its leaders turn customer ambition into enterprise-wide change. You will look beyond individual channels, platforms or moments to understand the full customer lifecycle, the operating system behind it, and the decisions required to improve both the experience and the economics of delivering it.
This is a highly client-facing leadership role for someone who can operate as a trusted advisor, transformation leader and chief-of-staff-style partner. You will connect priorities across customer operations, digital, contact centers, field service, billing, outage management, technology, data, finance and change. You will help the client see how one decision changes the wider journey, translate that cause and effect into an executable transformation agenda, and keep leaders aligned from strategy through value realization.
The role sits within frog’s growing Customer Experience Transformation capability. It is not a narrow service-design, technology-implementation or contact-center role. Success requires equal fluency in customer experience, business operations, organizational change and value creation.

- Establish baselines, benefits owners, governance and value-realization plans to track impact.
- Prioritize high-value interventions and balance near-term improvement with long-term reinvention.
