Why This Role MattersRetention is how a subscription business compounds. As we scale toward $100M in ARR, the Client Success organization is at an inflection point: we have a large and growing base of clients, a talented CSM team, and a real opportunity to turn great client outcomes into durable, expanding revenue.
We're looking for a
Director of Client Success to lead our CSM organization in Austin. You will lead a team of CSM managers and their CSMs, own the gross and net retention numbers, and build the operating model that lets us keep clients successful at scale. This is a builder's seat. You'll shape how the team is structured, how we score client health, how we run renewals and expansion, and how we coach a team to a consistently high bar.
You must be AI-forward. We expect our leaders to use AI and automation to extend team capacity, deepen client coverage, and make sharper decisions from data.

- Hires and coaches well, and is willing to have hard performance conversations
- Comfortable operating in complexity and ambiguity, and building where structure doesn't yet exist
