Customer Experience Center Supervisor

Position Summary

The Customer Experience Center (CXC) Supervisor is a hands-on, front-line leadership role responsible for the day-to-day performance and development of a team of CXC Associates. This is a player/coach position — the Supervisor leads by example, actively participates alongside the team on the phones when volume spikes or service levels require it, and provides real-time coaching and guidance to drive consistent, high-quality service to Americo’s life insurance and annuity customers.

This role is ideal for someone who has earned the trust of a service team, understands what it takes to deliver great customer experiences firsthand, and is ready to step into a leadership role without stepping away from the work. The CXC Supervisor is the closest leadership presence to the associate team — visible, accessible, and engaged every day.
