• Partner closely with Customer Success COO leadership and key business partners to streamline decision-making, eliminate organizational friction, and drive to execution.
• Maintain executive focus on critical business decisions by filtering operational noise, surfacing emerging risks early, and guiding partner teams to resolve lower-level issues.
• Own the end-to-end communications strategy and messaging framework for leadership, ensuring tight alignment with broader organizational goals and company values.
• Shape the agenda, narrative structure, messaging flow, and presentation content for major executive forums, leadership summits, offsites, and all teams meetings.
• Direct high-stakes, ad-hoc strategic priorities on behalf of leadership, rapidly converting open-ended, complex challenges into structured execution plans across matrixed teams.

• Deep expertise in executive speechwriting, narrative framing, and translating complex operational and business topics into clear, compelling executive presentations.
• Exceptional capability to convert ambiguous business inputs, rapid priority shifts, and open-ended executive requests into structured operational models.
• Strong business acumen across Customer Success operational rhythms, financial management cycles, and employee engagement models.

Preferred Qualifications
