Role Overview: We're looking for a Head of Customer Success to own customer delivery outcomes end-to-end, across new customer implementations, ongoing change requests, incidents, and the cross-functional work that holds it all together. This is a senior leadership role and a newly created role. You'll inherit a footprint and the freedom - and responsibility - to design how it should work. You'll join the leadership team, report to the CEO. We're at a tipping point on customer experience. Customers tell us we're skilled and committed, but the experience is inconsistent, slow, and can require too much chasing. Our NPS measurement makes that explicit, especially at executive level in our largest customer base.

You won't have hierarchical authority over Dev, Product, Operations, Engineering or Support. You’ll form part of the leadership team, secure commitments from each function, and have the licence to escalate when those commitments slip. Where the operating model is missing or weak, you'll design it and put it into operation. Account Management owns the relationship and the commercials with our customers; you own delivery and outcome stability. This role suits someone who has built a customer delivery function before, who's comfortable driving outcomes through commitments and process design rather than org-chart power, who can be honest with the business when it's prioritising internal convenience over customer outcome, and who wants real ownership in a growing software business.

Key Responsibilities

• Customer Delivery Outcomes: Own end-to-end customer delivery outcomes for iVector across new and existing customers. Set and hold standards on key measures - on-time/on-scope delivery, escalation reduction, NPS uplift, and post-project CSAT. Hold the business to account on delivery commitments.
• New Customer Implementations: Lead new customer implementations from kick-off through go-live - scope, plan, milestones, steering and external communications. Define and run our implementation methodology. Coordinate cross-functional resource and secure delivery commitments from each function.
• Existing Customers & Change Requests: Own triage and routing for customer requests (excluding technical support). Plan and oversee delivery of approved change requests, own the customer-facing communications. Create processes for customer requests that don’t fit the high volume support or development tracks (e.g. training, knowledge base, project ideas, problem areas). Increase visibility and decrease the need for customers to chase.
• Cross-functional Processes: Build and run the operating engine that keeps customer delivery on track. Provide visibility, priority calls and status reporting, internally and externally. Secure commitments from Dev, Product, Ops, Engineering and Support; track and escalate variance. Where process is missing or weak, design it with the function and operationalise.
• Scope, Commercials & Discipline: Box scope upfront; push back on vague briefs; flag commercial risk early before it becomes a retrospective ask. Partner with Account Management on customer-facing commercial conversations. Own incident reports - produce, circulate, drive corrective action.
• Strategy & Leadership Team: Represent customer outcomes at the leadership team; challenge internal-convenience-first thinking. Partner with the CCO on commercial priorities and the CEO on strategic direction. Build the function - recruit or contract with PMs and CSMs to increase capacity as demand grows.
