Full Job Description
The Role

We're hiring a VP of Customer Success to join our team in Greenville, SC, on-site, and own everything that happens after an agency signs. You'll lead our Customer Success team, improve the onboarding, adoption, and renewal motions, and own net revenue retention as a number. You'll also carry the commercial side of the post-sale relationship by running renewals yourself, in conjunction with your team, and partnering with Sales to surface and close expansion opportunities.

This is a hands-on leadership role on a small, senior team. You'll build the playbooks, run the hard accounts personally, and hire as we grow.
What You'll Do
  • Own net revenue retention (NRR) and gross retention (GRR) as the headline numbers for the role.
  • Lead the Customer Success team by coach the people already on it, hire the ones we need next, and run the operating cadence (1:1s, weekly account review, QBRs).
  • Run renewals end to end pricing, paper, timing, and save motions.
  • Partner with Sales and Operations to surface and close expansion inside our installed base. Co-own the expansion number with the VP of Sales.
  • Own the customer health score with the VP of Operations and VP of Product to refine the inputs and use it to drive a weekly at-risk review.
  • Run and improve the onboarding motion so new paying agencies get to department-level value fast and stay there. Partner with Product and Operations on the technical handoff.
  • Be the executive face of TRULEO for our top accounts and show up in person when it matters.
Qualifications
  • 8+ years in Customer Success, Account Management, or post-sales leadership at a B2B SaaS company, with at least 3 years leading a team.
  • Carried a renewal and/or expansion number directly, not just a satisfaction or health metric.
  • Built or meaningfully rebuilt a CS function (playbooks, onboarding, renewal motion) and not just inherited one.
  • Comfortable in the commercial conversation like pricing, contracts, negotiation, save motions.
  • Strong partnership track record with Sales, Product, and Operations.
  • Player-coach mindset. Happy to run a hard account yourself this quarter and hand it off next quarter.
  • Public safety, GovTech, or regulated/complex B2B experience is a plus, not a requirement.
  • Able to work on-site in Greenville, SC, and to pass the background check required to work with criminal justice (CJIS) data.
  • Willing to travel to all accounts and be on site with the team.
