The Role: How you'll make an impact at Personio
This position can be office-based (hybrid) in the following cities: Munich, Berlin, or Dublin.
This role is focused on creating a Conversational AI-driven self-service experience that customers will love. You'll be responsible for leading the implementation and continuous improvement of AI-powered customer support and professional services solutions, ensuring they align with business goals and enhance customer satisfaction. You bridge technology and support excellence, enhancing automation strategies while partnering across departments to scale efficiency and satisfaction.

Furthermore, you are directly responsible for the success and iteration of our conversational AI tooling for customer support, including Intercom Fin and related solutions. Moreover, you also collaborate across teams to drive automation, personalization, and efficiency in customer interactions in tandem with our overall internal and customer-facing AI strategy.

Role objectives and expectations
The key responsibilities of the role are:

• Self-Service and Productivity Outcomes: Drive contact volume reduction and self-service by implementing solutions for top contact drivers, as well as driving Support Agent productivity and handling time through improvements to co-pilots.
• AI Conversation Automation: Develop AI automated workflows / agent operating procedures, run batch tests, configure personalized answers, and reverse engineer unresolved conversations.
• Conversation Design: Architect natural, useful interactions between customers and AI chatbots. Design the flow and logic of conversations for the chatbots, partnering with subject-matter experts. You tune and design bot conversations —flows, intents/tagging, prompts/responses, fallback logic— to cut hallucinations, misroutes, and unnecessary handoffs.
• AI Service Journey Design: Define and govern AIhuman and AIAI handoffs (confidence thresholds, triggers, routing rules), ensuring brand voice, privacy, and responsible-AI standards, building a deep knowledge of our customer journeys and user stories to anticipate and design for different scenarios.
• Data Integration: bring data from 3rd party systems and our own product into Intercom Fin to improve AI conversation effectiveness.
• Performance Monitoring and Improvement: Track key metrics (e.g., self-serve resolutions, monthly active users, deflection rates, resolution time, customer experience score, NPS) to evaluate AI impact, identify gaps, and implement improvements.
• AI Solution Delivery: Lead the implementation of AI-powered tools (e.g., chatbots, copilots, virtual assistants) that address common customer pain points and streamline support and professional services processes, and partner with Engineering and Systems on integrations and fixes.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Product, Engineering, Customer Experience, Data and Systems teams to ensure AI solutions are aligned with customer needs and business objectives, and that we integrate seamlessly with the Personio Assistant and internal support tooling.
• Continuous Quality Improvement: Oversee the ongoing quality fine-tuning of AI tools using real customer data and feedback to improve routing, accuracy, relevance, and customer satisfaction. You approach with a product mindset, anticipating edge cases and interaction effects, and regression test as new changes are introduced. You monitor bot/service health, triage incidents and misroutes, and coordinate rapid fixes and postmortems as needed.
• Change Management: Champion the adoption of AI tools within customer-facing teams, supporting the development of training materials and enablement sessions dedicated to developing AI proficiency within CX.
• Compliance & Ethics: Ensure AI deployments comply with data privacy, security, and ethical standards, especially when handling sensitive customer information.
• Vendor & Stakeholder Management: Evaluate and manage relationships with external AI vendors, consultants, and technology partners. You are on the lookout for new technology that could accelerate our impact.
