Job Description
About the Role
In modern enterprise organizations, customer success is no longer a post-sales support function; it is a primary growth lever, retention engine, and source of durable competitive advantage. We are seeking a Vice President of Customer Success to lead and scale a global customer success organization supporting enterprise and strategic customers across regions and industries.
This role is designed for a senior executive who understands how to turn customer outcomes into predictable revenue expansion, renewals, and advocacy. The VP of Customer Success will own the entire post-sale customer lifecycle, including onboarding, adoption, value realization, renewals, expansion, and executive engagement, ensuring customers achieve measurable outcomes while the business achieves sustained growth.
As a member of the executive leadership team, you will partner closely with Sales, Product, Technology, Finance, and Marketing leaders to align customer success with go-to-market strategy and product innovation. You will modernize customer engagement models, embed data and AI into customer health and forecasting, and build an operating discipline that scales with growth.
This is not a reactive or service-only role. It is a mandate to build customer success as an enterprise-grade growth function, accountable for retention, expansion, and long-term customer value.
