Contact Center as a Service, Ccaas, Practice Leader

Perficient is seeking a Contact Center as a Service Practice Leader to build, grow, and lead our modern customer care consulting business. This is a senior, customer‑facing leadership role for an executive who can shape strategy, sell outcomes, and run a business—not an operational or back‑office position.

The ideal candidate is a proven practice leader with deep expertise in AI‑enabled contact centers, a modern point of view on customer care transformation, and the ability to clearly articulate business value to executive stakeholders. This role owns the full practice, including P&L responsibility, go‑to‑market strategy, client relationships, and people leadership, while working closely with partners and internal teams to drive growth.

Travel for this role is expected to be 25–35%, primarily on the East Coast, with some national travel as needed.

Perficient is the global AI-first consultancy. Our team of strategists, designers, technologists, and engineers partners with the world’s most innovative enterprises and admired brands to deliver real business results through the transformative power of AI. As part of our AI-First strategy, we empower every employee to build AI fluency and actively engage with AI tools to drive innovation and efficiency. We break boundaries, obsess over outcomes, and shape the future for our clients. Join a company where bold ideas and brilliant minds converge to redefine what’s possible—while building a career filled with growth, balance, and purpose.

• 15+ years of experience leading customer care, contact center, or CX practices, with a demonstrated track record of year‑over‑year revenue growth
• Prior experience owning P&L, including budgets, forecasts, and financial targets
• Strong customer‑facing leadership skills, with experience leading executive‑level client engagements and large‑scale transformation initiatives
• Deep business and technical understanding of modern contact center platforms (Twilio, Salesforce Service Cloud, Five9, Genesys)
• Proven ability to sell services and outcomes, not software
• Experience working closely with partner ecosystems and partner sales organizations
• Demonstrated success building and scaling teams across consulting, delivery, and sales roles
• Willingness to travel 25–35%, primarily on the East Coast

Preferred Experience

• Consulting background with a global systems integrator or professional services firm

As the Contact Center as a Service Practice Leader, you will own and operate the customer care business end‑to‑end, including full P\&L accountability, revenue growth, margin performance, and financial forecasting. You will define and execute the go‑to‑market strategy for Perficient’s Contact Center as a Service offering, focusing on selling consulting and managed services, not software licenses.

You will act as a trusted executive advisor to clients, leading customer‑facing conversations around AI‑powered contact center transformation, modern call center architectures, and business outcomes such as improved CX, agent productivity, and cost optimization. You will help customers understand and realize the business value of Perficient’s approach, translating complex technologies into clear, outcome‑driven narratives.

This role requires building, mentoring, and scaling a high‑performing team across sales, pre‑sales, delivery, and partner enablement. You will serve as the executive sponsor for strategic accounts, leading workshops, visioning sessions, and C‑level discussions, while ensuring delivery excellence and long‑term client success.

You will also develop and manage strategic technology and channel partnerships, working closely with partner sales organizations to co‑sell, create joint offerings, and drive pipeline. In collaboration with internal stakeholders across sales, marketing, finance, HR, and legal, you will operationalize growth plans, define pricing and packaging, and establish hiring and investment strategies.

Technology & Solution Leadership

You will provide thought leadership and oversight across modern contact center platforms and AI‑driven customer care solutions, including Twilio, Salesforce Service Cloud, Five9, Genesys, and related technologies. A strong understanding of AI for call centers—such as intelligent routing, conversational AI, agent assist, analytics, and automation—is essential. You will guide the development of solution IP, accelerators, and repeatable offerings that increase velocity, consistency, and time‑to‑value for clients.
