• Design, document, and continuously refine the Customer Success playbook across onboarding, product adoption, customer health monitoring, renewals, and account expansion.

• Lead, coach, and develop Customer Success Managers and implementation specialists, strengthening team capabilities, accountability, and performance.

• Build proactive systems for identifying customer risks, preventing churn, managing escalations, and addressing issues before they affect retention.

• Own the end-to-end customer journey, including onboarding timelines, adoption milestones, communication cadences, renewal planning, escalation processes, and executive engagement.

• Establish a structured renewal outreach process using 90-, 60-, and 30-day checkpoints, standardized communications, risk indicators, and clear handoff procedures.

• Partner with Product to translate customer feedback into actionable roadmap priorities and collaborate with executive leadership on customer health and retention strategy.

• Represent the voice of the customer, communicating challenges and opportunities clearly and proactively across the organization.

• Manage and improve the use of the internal CRM to support accurate forecasting, renewal management, account health tracking, and expansion planning.

• Provide leadership with transparent, data-driven reporting on customer health, NRR trends, renewal risks, and growth opportunities.

• Build an effective Customer Success approach for enterprise, mid-market, and SMB customers across two distinct product lines, adapting processes to their needs and maturity.

• Take end-to-end ownership of the expansion motion, ensuring opportunities are identified, developed, and converted into measurable revenue growth.
