Opportunity Overview
TFS currently has an exciting permanent opportunity as a Customer Experience Analyst in the Business Innovation Department. This role plays a key part in supporting enterprise-wide customer experience initiatives that elevate satisfaction, strengthen service quality, and enable data informed decision making.
The successful candidate will convert customer, dealer, digital, and operational signals into actionable insights; map and diagnose experience journeys; identify drivers of friction and loyalty; and partner with business teams to improve customer outcomes across channels.
This role is ideal for someone who combines analytical curiosity, customer-centric thinking, and practical business consulting skills. The role reports to the Manager, Business Innovation and resides in our Markham Head Office.
What you will be doing:
Customer Insight and Journey Analysis
- Analyze end-to-end customer and dealer journeys across key touchpoints including digital, retail, servicing, contact centre, collections, and self-serve channels.
- Interpret data from Voice of Customer, surveys, complaints themes, operational systems, digital analytics, and service interactions to identify patterns, drivers, root causes, and moments that matter.
- Translate findings into clear journey maps, pain-point summaries, opportunity statements, and insight narratives that help leaders and teams make decisions.
- Maintain a current-state understanding of customer touchpoints, handoffs, and experience metrics to support a consistent and connected experience across channels.
Experience Improvement and Enablement
- Support CX measurement by tracking, interpreting, and communicating trends in customer sentiment, satisfaction, effort, complaints, digital adoption, and operational performance indicators.
- Build concise dashboards, scorecards, or insight reports that connect customer experience signals to business outcomes and improvement opportunities.
- Use structured problem solving to size issues, segment customer impacts, test hypotheses, and distinguish systemic experience gaps from one-off service issues.
- Partner with data, technology, operations, and business teams to improve data quality, define useful measures, and build repeatable insight routines.
Experience Improvement and Enablement
- Partner with business teams to translate customer insights into prioritized initiatives, minimum viable improvements, experiments, and implementation roadmaps.
- Contribute to solution design by ensuring customer needs, pain points, accessibility considerations, and channel impacts are reflected in process, digital, and policy changes.
- Create practical artifacts such as journey maps, service blueprints, opportunity backlogs, business requirements, customer impact assessments, and executive-ready summaries.
- Support change enablement by preparing clear recommendations, stakeholder updates, and post-implementation learning summaries.
Integration with Operational Excellence
- Collaborate closely with Operational Excellence and Business Transformation teams to align CX insights with process improvement, standardization, and transformation activities.
- Ensure customer experience considerations are integrated into Kaizen, problem solving, root cause analysis, and transformation work using Toyota Way methodologies.
- Help balance customer desirability, operational feasibility, business value, and risk when shaping improvement recommendations.
What you bring:

- Strong data storytelling skills, including the ability to create concise dashboards, presentations, executive summaries, and decision-support materials.
