About the role
Introduction SymphonyAI is now hiring a Manager, Customer Insights to join our team to be on-site with our client in Phoenix, Arizona. This is a role for someone who doesn't just deliver insights; they embed themselves in the client's world, become indispensable to
the team, and make the analytics platform part of how the client thinks every day. As a Manager, Customer Insights, you will be the dedicated consulting presence inside one of our grocery retail clients, working alongside category managers, merchant teams & leaders to translate customer data into decisions. You will own your client relationships, manage your own priorities, and deliver high-quality, actionable work without waiting to be told what to do. What sets the best people in this role apart is a combination of analytical skill, consultative thinking, and genuine curiosity. The ability to hear a business question and ask three more questions before touching the data. To probe and get to the real problem underneath. And then to bring the answer back in a way the client can actually use. You will also embrace SymphonyAI tools, including the AI-powered capabilities that are increasingly central to what we deliver. That means actively using AI tools in your own work and helping clients understand what AI-driven insights mean for their business. Job Description

Lead end-to-end analytical projects from data pull through synthesis, story, and recommendation. Convert complex outputs from customer, loyalty, and merchandising data into clear, decision-ready insights. Ensure every deliverable answers 'so what?' and 'now what?' - not just 'what happened.' Maintain a high bar for quality and rigor; validate your own work before it reaches the client. AI & Tool Advocacy Actively use AI tools in your own day-to-day work for analysis, synthesis, drafting, and problem-solving. Help clients understand, interpret, and trust AI-driven insights from SymphonyAI platforms, translating outputs into plain language and clear business implications.
