Lead, Center of ExcellenceActive

The opportunity

The Pendo Center of Excellence (CoE) sets the standard for how Pendo uses Pendo. We bring together in-app and email engagement, Product Operations, and growth strategy to ensure every team maximizes the value of the platform — and every customer receives a consistent, contextual, and high-quality experience.

What you'll do

  • Expand CoE support into high-impact lifecycle areas: onboarding and adoption, retention and churn prevention, and support deflection — partnering with Design, Product, PMM, Customer Success, Content Design, and Marketing to connect engagement strategy to measurable business outcomes.

  • Own the Pendo-side strategy and execution for guide delivery triggered: through Fin's chat interface: determine which guides are eligible for conversational launch, how they're structured for that context, and how they're tagged and maintained for reliable delivery.

  • Lead the CoE's approach to proactive Fin messaging tied to Pendo Workflows: and Funnels — enabling Fin to detect when users stall and deliver contextual, timely support nudges at the right moment.

  • Improve intake quality, workflow efficiency, and CoE throughput: identify and resolve bottlenecks, evolve governance standards, and ensure consistency across all customer-facing experiences before they're published.

  • Support the exploration and implementation of AI-driven CoE capabilities: (e.g., CoE Companion) to improve intake quality, guide decision-making, and reduce manual effort at scale.

  • Lead cross-functional alignment across Adoption, Product, PMM, Customer: Success, and Marketing — present CoE strategy and recommendations to stakeholders, and push back confidently when work doesn't meet the bar.

What they're looking for

  • Partner with Product Operations to strengthen the systems that underpin: engagement: segmentation, tagging, metadata, permissions, and governance workflows.
  • Hands-on experience building guides and journeys in Pendo: you've done the work, not just managed it.
  • Experience using Pendo (or similar tools) to drive measurable outcomes in: adoption, retention, or engagement; you can answer "what value are we getting from this?" with data.
  • Experience in program management, lifecycle operations, product operations,: or a similar systems-oriented role.
