Overview

RapidScale is establishing Customer Success as a core revenue-adjacent capability designed to ensure delivery of contracted business outcomes and measurable business value, improve customer advocacy, drive gross revenue retention, and enable expansion.

The Senior Director, Customer Success is accountable for owning customer outcomes and value realization, while acting as the orchestrator / quarterback across the entire RapidScale ecosystem-Sales (AEs/AMs), Delivery, Operations, Consulting, Support, and administrative billing.
