Full Job Description
About the Team

Decagon's Customer team turns enterprise commitments into durable customer outcomes. They own deployment execution, steady-state operations, and the operating system that lets delivery quality and velocity scale as our customer base and deal complexity grow.

The Strategy and Operations team is responsible for the efficiency and operationalization of our Customer team. They partner closely with GTM, Product, and Engineering to bring operating rigor to how Decagon delivers.

About the Role

In Strategy & Operations for the Customer team, you will own the strategy, cadence, and operational infrastructure that powers Decagon's delivery and post-sales execution at scale. You'll act as the operational backbone for deployment and steady-state delivery-standardizing how we launch complex enterprise customers, improving visibility and forecasting across teams, and partnering with Sales/GTM to ensure deals are scoped for success before they close.

This is an in-office role with broad cross-functional influence. You'll drive company-critical initiatives spanning Product, Engineering, Sales, and Customer Success, and build repeatable systems that increase launch predictability, reduce downstream risk, and improve customer outcomes as Decagon scales rapidly.

In this role, you will
  • Build and scale customer operations
    • Develop and maintain repeatable processes that improve deployment consistency and ongoing customer operations.
    • Establish operating rhythms and reporting that create visibility into delivery health, risks, and key bottlenecks.
    • Drive planning and resourcing practices that support predictable execution as the business scales.
  • Strengthen cross-functional execution
    • Partner with GTM to improve upfront alignment on customer goals, scope, and readiness.
    • Lead cross-functional initiatives with Product and Engineering to unblock execution and improve outcomes.
    • Own issue management and escalation handling to keep delivery and customer results on track.
  • Lead and grow a high-performing team
    • Manage and develop a Strategy & Operations team focused on operational excellence and scalability.
    • Hire and coach for high ownership and strong execution, emphasizing durable systems over one-off fixes.


Your background looks something like this
  • 6+ years of experience with experience in Strategy & Operations, BizOps, post-sales operations, CX operations, delivery operations, or adjacent functions.
  • Demonstrated ability to diagnose ambiguous problems, drive structured work-streams, and influence senior stakeholders.
  • Experience building playbooks, operating cadences, and resourcing/capacity planning systems.
  • Strong executive communication and trust-building skills; ability to align cross-functional leaders and drive decisions with clarity and rigor.
  • Comfort operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments where you build structure while maintaining momentum.


Even better if you have
  • Direct experience partnering with Sales/GTM on deal scoping, success readiness, and pre-close operational rigor.
  • Background in B2B SaaS, enterprise software, or AI-adjacent companies.
  • Prior experience building an operations function from scratch or leading it through early scale.
