The Work You'll Do:
At Sovos, we're transforming how companies around the world manage tax compliance---helping half of the Fortune 500 and thousands more stay ahead in a complex, ever-changing global landscape. As a Senior Conversation Designer, you will own the design, content, and conversational UX of Sovos' customer-support AI agents, ensuring every customer interaction with our bots is accurate, on-brand, and resolution-oriented.
You'll be responsible for designing, building, and continuously improving the AI agents that serve Sovos customers across chat, portal, and self-service channels. Working inside low/no-code AI platforms such as TheLoops, Salesforce Einstein Bots, and Ask Sovi, you'll translate support use cases into dialog flows, prompts, and agent frameworks that deflect contacts and delight customers---partnering closely with Knowledge Management, CX Product, and AI engineering to keep content, intents, and models fresh.
More specifically, you will:
- Design dialog flows, intents, entity models, and prompt templates for Sovos' bot portfolio across customer-facing chat and deflection channels
- Build and maintain AI agents in low/no-code platforms (TheLoops, Einstein Bots, Ask Sovi), including tool/function definitions, grounding, and guardrails
- Own conversational UX standards---tone, escalation, disambiguation, and fallback handling---across a ~100-product catalog
- Partner with Knowledge Management to identify, curate, and shape the content sources bots rely on, ensuring articles are bot-ready
- Write, edit, and localize bot-facing copy in Sovos' voice, coordinating with regional teams on Portuguese, Spanish, and Turkish variants
- Define and track containment, deflection, escalation, and CSAT metrics per flow
- Run A/B tests and structured tuning cycles; report results and learnings to support leadership
- Triage bot failures, misroutes, and negative feedback; drive fixes through the product and content roadmap
- Act as the conversational design authority for GSS; review and approve bot changes from vendors and internal teams
- Represent support's voice in roadmap discussions with AI vendors (TheLoops, Salesforce) and internal product teams (Ask Sovi)
What We Need From You
- 5+ years in conversation design, AI UX, or content design, including at least 2 years building production customer-support bots
- Hands-on experience with at least one enterprise conversational AI or AI-agent platform (TheLoops, Intercom Fin, Ada, Kore.ai, Salesforce Einstein Bots, Dialogflow, or similar)
- Demonstrated experience with prompt engineering, RAG, and grounding AI agents in enterprise knowledge bases
- Experience designing for multilingual audiences (English required; Spanish or Portuguese a plus)
- Bachelor's degree in UX, Linguistics, Communications, HCI, or related field; equivalent experience accepted
- A strong portfolio of shipped support or self-service bots, with the ability to move fluidly between flow diagrams, prompt files, and analytics dashboards
- A writer-first mindset---you know that tone, clarity, and brevity are what make a bot feel good
- Systems thinker who can manage a 100-product catalog, multiple languages, and several agents simultaneously
- Fluent English communicator, able to operate across US, LATAM, and EMEA time zones
- Due to client contractual obligations, the successful candidate will be asked to clear a background check and drug test upon hire
