This role oversees a globally distributed team of Customer Success professionals (including team leads and Customer Success Managers) and brings a private equity mindset: exceptional customer outcomes paired with operational rigor, disciplined metrics, and scalable execution.

- Partner with Sales and Account Management to support renewals, cross-sell, and upsell strategies.
- Build proactive churn-risk mitigation frameworks to protect and grow lifetime value.
- Own renewal visibility and forecasting discipline aligned with executive expectations.
- Lead Customer Success technology and automation outcomes, including health scoring accuracy and digital engagement visibility.
- Improve health model integrity and proactive outreach effectiveness using platforms and AI-enabled workflows.
- Operationalize core CS metrics (retention, NRR, adoption, health, NPS, CSAT) and translate sentiment into action.
- Build dashboards for executive-level and PE-level visibility and use data for capacity planning and prioritization.
- Scale customer enablement through 1-to-many programs (group onboarding, training, digital content, education pathways) to grow without proportional headcount.
- Lead and develop a global team (approximately 10–15), building a strong leadership bench and coaching for measurable impact.
- Strengthen cross-functional alignment with Sales, Product, Engineering, and RevOps to ensure clear handoffs and shared accountability.
Requirements
- Proven leadership experience in Customer Success and/or Customer Support within SaaS, ERP, or complex software environments.
