What is a CX team?
A customer experience (CX) team consists of professionals who analyze customer feedback and data, and share insights with the rest of the organization. Typically, these teams fulfill various roles and responsibilities such as:
- Customer experience programs (CX programs)
- Digital customer experience
- Design and processes
- Internal communications
- Voice of the customer (VoC)
- User experiences
- Customer experience management
- Journey mapping
- Nurturing customer interactions
- Customer success
- Customer support
- Handling customer data
- Learning about the customer journey
The structure of the CX team depends on the size and scope of the company. Larger companies might have CX teams with ten or more employees; smaller organizations might have one CX employee.
CX team structure
You might find the following team members in a CX team. Not all CX teams will have these members, and an employee might carry out more than one role.
Chief customer officer.
The chief customer officer (CCO) is the person in charge of the CX team. They plan initiatives and campaigns for team members and liaise with other C-level executives in the organization. The CCO might also be responsible for employee engagement, employee experience, creating a roadmap for customer success, and instilling a customer-centric culture within the CX team. All CX team members usually report to the CCO. Other titles for this role include vice president of CX and customer experience strategist.

VoC manager.
The VoC manager uses data, analytics, and customer feedback to analyze customer trends and patterns. They generate intelligence about customers and share metrics with other team members so the organization can improve touchpoint, automation, digital marketing, and customer satisfaction strategies. The VOC manager works with other members of the CX team to boost overall business outcomes.
Experience design manager.
The experience design manager is responsible for design thinking within the CX team. That relates to how customers interact with the organization’s products and how teams can improve the design of those products. The experience design manager might work with UX designers to enhance customer experiences and overall CX strategy.
Tip: VoC and experience design managers can share their knowledge about specific CX topics in a centralized platform, allowing other team members to acquire the skills required to complete projects. Capacity’s AI-native support automation platform provides resources to members of the CX team who might need quick access to information. If Capacity doesn’t know the answer to a question, a VOC or experience design manager can respond to a team member via an intuitive chat interface.
Core CX team.
The core CX Team comprises team members who carry out customer experience strategy tasks such as creating new customer experiences, analyzing customer feedback and data, and managing processes to understand customer pain points and desires. This team might also develop communications about CX for other departments in the organization. For example, presentations about customer success strategies. They also use technologies such as automation tools, CRM systems, social media, and business intelligence apps.
Tip: Team members often have questions about customer experiences when analyzing customer data or processing customer feedback. Managers can empower team members with a centralized help desk that answers common questions about CX, freeing up time and resources within the CX team. As a result, employees can focus on getting their jobs done without waiting for information from managers.
Customer advisory board.
The customer advisory board is a group of customers that share insights about products offered by an organization. These customers might make recommendations about products and review product features. They provide an organization with a direct link to its customer base. CX teams, therefore, can discover what customers care about when using their services.
Tip: Capacity’s support automation platform can also help CX teams engage with customer advisory boards by providing them with a knowledge base of commonly asked questions. AI-powered technology can answer customer questions instantly and refer a customer to a CX team member if they require more assistance. Managers can also generate feedback from customer advisory boards through surveys.
