VP Engineer - Customer Data Management

In today's world, customers expect companies to know who they are and what they want. Customers want to have products, services or experiences that best suit their needs delivered to them with relationship continuity across physical and digital channels.

Customers are human first: driven by rapidly evolving needs and desires. The requirement for brands to make personal, meaningful connections on a human level has never been a more important part of brand success. Hux by Deloitte Digital delivers on those experiences in a way that allows companies to own the customer journey end to end, and deliver low-friction relationship continuity via any touch-point, with transformational efficiency.

Most importantly, we empower companies to connect with customers in personal, meaningful ways that respect them as individuals, not just customers at large.
