Customer Success Director

\n

Reporting directly to the CEO, this is a senior, hands-on Customer Success Director role owning the most strategic UK customer relationships end to end. The remit covers the full post-sale life cycle: co-authoring digital workplace roadmaps with client SLTs, running a regular QBR cadence with C-suite stakeholders, driving feature adoption, and collaborating with the sales and consulting teams to identify expansion and renewal opportunities.

\n

The successful candidate will be as comfortable demoing the product to a Head of Communications as co-authoring a digital workplace roadmap with a CIO, and will thrive in a methodical, ruthlessly organised team where 95% renewal YoY and 80% feature adoption across 80% of the customer's organisation are the bar.
