As the Customer Experience Leader, you will design systems to enhance customer activation and retention, manage the customer journey, and drive organizational growth through data and empathy.
About PushPress
PushPress is building the Intelligent Industry Ledger for boutique fitness.
We’re transforming how boutique gyms operate — and how the entire $100B fitness industry connects, transacts, and grows. Trusted by 5,000+ gyms and 500,000+ members, PushPress processes over $500M annually and is backed by Altos Ventures and Mucker Capital.
We're evolving from a traditional business system of record into an AI-powered Industry Ledger — an intelligent infrastructure layer that brings order to a highly fragmented boutique fitness industry. By unifying disconnected operators, workflows, and data into a single platform, we’re enabling faster decisions, new business models, cross-gym collaboration, and network effects that increase the value of every studio in our client base.
We’re a global team of builders, operators, and fitness fanatics on a mission to level the playing field for fitness entrepreneurs. If you're ready to help reshape an industry — let’s talk.
About the Role
As the Customer Experience Leader at PushPress, you’ll design and lead a world-class CX organization that fuels activation, retention, and long-term growth by helping every customer unlock the full value of the PushPress platform.
You’ll architect the systems, processes, and team structures that deliver seamless onboarding and exceptional support, setting every gym owner up for success from day one. This role blends strategy and execution: you’ll zoom out to design scalable frameworks, then zoom in to optimize the workflows and incentives that power the customer journey.
You’ll thrive here if you’re an empathetic operator who can think like an architect, act like an owner, and lead with data, all while keeping the human element at the core of the experience.
What You'll Do
- Champion customer success and value creation - keep gym owners at the center of every decision, ensuring their success drives our retention and growth metrics.
- Design and scale the CX organization - advance the structure, workflows, and roles needed to support growth. Continue the evolution from a generalist team to specialized pods for onboarding, support, and enablement.

- Build and sustain operational excellence - establish a strong operating cadence, translate company goals into team-level objectives, and develop a high-performing CX organization positioned for long-term success.
- Make data actionable - monitor key KPIs and adjust as needed (activation rate, P90 time to resolve, time-to-value, cost to serve) to guide staffing, process improvements, and automation investments. Collaborate with RevOps and Finance to model ROI and efficiency gains.
- Reduce friction through systems and tools - work with R&D to simplify complex workflows in the onboarding and support experience, deploying AI or automation to scale without losing the human touch.
- Lead with empathy and accountability - build a culture centered on clarity, urgency, and ownership, reinforcing our core tenets. Empower the team to support non-technical SMB owners with patience and confidence while balancing operational efficiency with genuine care.

- Strong cross-functional collaborator who thrives working with Product, Sales, and RevOps.
- Strong executive communicator and storyteller who connects CX metrics to company strategy and board-level outcomes.
