Quality Assurance Program Manager
The ultimate source for official answers about a business online should be the business itself. However, when consumers ask questions on company websites, too often they are left in the dark with wrong answers. Yext (NYSE: YEXT), the Search Experience Cloud, solves this problem by organizing a business's facts so it can provide official answers to consumer questions — wherever people search. Starting with the company website, then extending across search engines and voice assistants, businesses around the world, like Taco Bell, Marriott, and Jaguar Land Rover—as well as organizations like the U.S. State Department—trust Yext to radically improve the search experience on their websites and across the entire search ecosystem.
Yext is building out a world-class Platform Services & Support organization and is looking for a strong candidate to run Quality Assurance Program Management across the global team. The Quality Assurance Program Manager reports to the VP, Client Advocacy and is responsible for delivering quality assurance programs that ensure the Platform Services and Support team is delivering the best quality of service to Yext clients.
