The Purpose of Your Role

The Director, Strategic Customer Success serves as the executive strategic partner for assigned enterprise clients, helping organizations modernize and optimize customer experience operations through a combination of human expertise, AI-enabled solutions, global delivery, and operational strategy.

This role is highly consultative and externally focused, responsible for driving long-term client value, business outcomes, retention, and growth.
