Vice President, Head of Service Practice

Perficient's Sales and Service organization builds and runs the platforms that enterprises use to sell to and serve their customers. We currently are looking for a Vice President, Head of Services Practice to join our team. The Service practice covers customer service, contact center, field service, and the experience and business architecture work that sits in front of every program. We deliver on Salesforce Service Cloud and Agentforce, on our Commerce and Order Management platforms, and on the agentic service capabilities we are building across all of them. Our clients span energy and utilities, life sciences, automotive and industrial, retail, and financial services.

Perficient is a global consulting firm building the future with a Native AI Services practice. Agentic service is changing what enterprises expect from a contact center, from a service organization, and from the partner that designs both. Our clients are asking how much of their service operation an agent can carry today, and what the people around it should do next. The next leader of this practice will define the Service operating model inside Sales and Service rather than inherit it.

- Seven or more years at the vice president, general manager, or practice lead level, with direct accountability for a revenue or bookings target.
- Ten or more years in customer service, contact center, or customer experience transformation at a systems integrator, a consultancy, or a large enterprise service organization.
- A record of carrying an annual target and hitting it, with ownership of utilization and delivery margin across a services business.
- A services offering built from zero to material revenue, including the go-to-market motion behind it.
- Generative or agentic AI running in production in a service or contact center environment, with results you can substantiate to a client CFO.
- Experience leading the strategy, business architecture, and experience design phase of large transformation programs.
- Delivery leadership across multiple geographies and time zones.
- C-suite advisory experience on service operating model, contact center transformation, or customer experience.
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience.
- Willingness to travel up to 50% for client engagements, partner meetings, business development, and team leadership.
- Must be located near one of Perficient's existing offices, preferably Chicago, New York or Houston.

Preferred Qualifications

- Hands-on familiarity with Salesforce Service Cloud and Agentforce, and with at least one contact center platform.
- Service transformation delivered in energy and utilities, life sciences, or another regulated industry.
- An established market voice, whether a published point of view, a conference stage, or standing analyst relationships at Forrester and Gartner.
- Service sold alongside Salesforce, commerce, or data capability on the same account.
- A record of recruiting senior talent into a practice that was still being built.
