About the Team

The Customer Experience Incident Response team plays a critical role in ensuring Crunchyroll delivers a seamless and reliable experience to anime fans around the world. Working closely with Product, Engineering, and other cross-functional partners, the team identifies, investigates, and helps resolve issues impacting our fans, while transforming data and insights into opportunities for continuous improvement. With a strong focus on collaboration, technical problem-solving, and innovation, the team works to improve incident detection, streamline response processes, and prevent recurring issues. Success is measured by our ability to proactively identify issues, reduce resolution times, and minimize the impact on our fans, ultimately creating a better Crunchyroll experience for our global community.

About the Role

We are seeking a highly analytical and technically fluent Associate CX Incident Response Manager to transform fan-reported issues into actionable insights that improve product reliability and user experience at scale.

Sitting at the intersection of Customer Experience, Product, and Engineering, this role owns the systems, data, and processes that power effective incident detection, response, and prevention. While frontline CXIR responders focus on real-time issue handling, the Associate CXIR Manager serves as the intelligence and ownership layer. This ensures incidents are properly aggregated, analyzed, and translated into business impact.

This role requires strong analytical thinking, systems-level understanding, and domain expertise in how digital products and services operate.

Ensure data integrity, consistency, and usability across systems
Establish and enforce data standards for incident tracking
Serve as a primary point of contact for Product, Engineering, and other stakeholders on incident-related insights

Develop playbooks and standard operating procedures (SOPs) to improve response consistency

Provide guidance and support to frontline teams handling incidents
Lead knowledge-sharing sessions to improve team effectiveness
