We are a customer-centric team, which means that we adopt and apply a list of key experience principles that establish the expected behaviors, mindset, processes, metrics and ways of working to protect customer’s experience while generating value to the business. We look for people who are willing to embrace these principles by going far and beyond to bring them to life, and more importantly, who are passionate and driven by positively impacting people’s lives and experiences.</p> \n<p><strong> </strong></p> \n<p>DiDi Global's Vendor Strategy focuses on ensuring that the CX Team has the necessary services and tools to operate effectively.
