Where You'll Work:- As a remote-first workplace, we believe in offering flexibility and the freedom to work where it suits you best, while staying connected through technology. Our global network of talent is supported by physical office hubs and virtual collaboration, fostering a dynamic environment where innovation and growth thrive.
- With office locations in Bozeman, MT, Toronto, Canada, and Dublin, Ireland, you'll be part of a globally connected team. Whether you're working remotely or from one of our office locations, you'll be contributing to a vibrant, collaborative culture focused on driving meaningful impact across the world.
WhatYou'll Do:- You'll own SmartSimple's client experience end to end - Professional Services, Support, and Client Success - as its dedicated, product-aligned leader, because SmartSimple's clients need delivery treatment a shared CX organization couldn't prioritize on its own.
- You'll lead SmartSimple Professional Services delivery quality, methodology, and outcomes, coaching the Professional Services leader directly toward a consistently strong client experience.
- You'll manage SmartSimple's partner capacity model with ReSolved and Grantbook, turning a current dependency bottleneck into a reliable, planned capacity pipeline.
- You'll own pricing models and new-service packaging for SmartSimple, making the commercial calls that keep the offering sustainable for Foundant and right-sized for clients.
- You'll lead SmartSimple's shift to a consultative delivery model - a client-facing implementation methodology, phased prework, and review checkpoints - because how we deliver shapes whether clients actually reach the outcomes they came for.
- You'll unify Professional Services, Support, and Client Success into one coherent SmartSimple client journey, building genuine alignment across the three functions rather than a reporting-line merger on paper.
- You'll build out and lead SmartSimple's Client Success function, partnering with its functional leader to define how the team operates and scales.
- Other duties as assigned.
WhatYou'll Need:- 10+ years of experience leading Professional Services and Support functions under one leadership umbrella; experience also leading Client Success a strong plus.
- Demonstrated track record building or turning around consultative delivery models for a technical, platform-based product - not just operating steady-state services.
- Experience managing complex partner or channel relationships, including capacity planning and negotiating commercial terms.
- Nonprofit/grants technology or similarly complex vertical SaaS experience strongly preferred, given SmartSimple's partner ecosystem (ReSolved, Grantbook).
- Must be legally eligible to work in the United States or Canada.
WhatYou'll Bring to our Team Dynamics:Strategic ThinkingTurns SmartSimple's need for differentiated delivery into a concrete transformation plan - a consultative implementation methodology, phased prework, and review checkpoints - that a shared PS/Support model couldn't prioritize on its own.
Performance AdvancementHolds SmartSimple's Professional Services, Support, and Client Success functions to a high delivery bar, using client outcomes as the real measure of success rather than internal activity metrics.
Change ManagementLeads Professional Services, Support, and Client Success from three separate functions into one coherent SmartSimple client journey, building genuine cross-functional alignment rather than a reporting-line merger on paper.
Decision-MakingOwns pricing, packaging, and partner capacity trade-offs for SmartSimple, weighing commercial and delivery considerations directly rather than escalating every call.
Staff DevelopmentCoaches SmartSimple's functional leaders directly across Professional Services, Support, and Client Success, building a team that can run the client experience without leaning on any one person.
