Who we need
We are seeking an experienced and visionary Director, Customer Success to lead, scale, and mature our Customer Success organization. In this leadership role, you will be responsible for evolving, formalizing, and executing our Customer Success strategy and playbook, while hiring, managing, and mentoring a high-performing team of Customer Success Managers (CSMs).

As a key face of our company, you will act as an executive partner to our most critical accounts, confidently interfacing with C-level executives to articulate value, align strategic business outcomes, and build long-term trust.

Who you are
You are a strategic, data-driven leader and proven people manager with a track record of building and scaling Customer Success functions in fast-growing SaaS environments. You combine strategic vision with operational execution, paired with exceptional executive presence. You are just as comfortable presenting compelling ROI stories in C-suite boardrooms as you are optimizing operational workflows.

You excel at designing end-to-end customer journey programs, defining critical health and lifecycle KPIs, and coaching team members to deliver high-impact, C-level relationship management. You thrive in scaling environments where clear, authoritative, and persuasive communication drives both customer trust and business growth.
