Job Description
About the Role
In today’s enterprise landscape, customer success is no longer a post-sale support function. It is a strategic growth engine responsible for retention, expansion, customer lifetime value, and brand trust. We are seeking a Head of Customer Success to lead and scale a global customer success organization serving complex, enterprise-level clients.
This role is designed for an executive who understands how to align customer outcomes with revenue growth and long-term partnerships. The Head of Customer Success will own the entire post-sale customer lifecycle, including onboarding, adoption, value realization, renewals, and expansion. You will define how the organization delivers measurable outcomes to customers while driving retention and sustainable growth.
As a core member of the executive leadership team, you will partner closely with Sales, Product, Technology, and Operations to ensure customer insights directly inform strategy and execution. Your mandate is to build a customer success organization that operates with discipline, data, and executive credibility at global scale.
This is not a reactive support role. It is a mandate to build customer success as a strategic operating function that directly impacts revenue, growth, and enterprise reputation.
