Youll play a key role in defining how customers experience our platform, ensuring they achieve measurable outcomes while building a team culture centred around accountability, growth and innovation.

Youll lead and develop a multidisciplinary Customer Success team, creating a culture where people feel supported, challenged and empowered to deliver exceptional customer experiences. From mentoring managers and building progression frameworks to driving engagement and succession planning, youll ensure the team is set up for long-term success.

Alongside people leadership, youll own customer adoption and retention across the customer base. Youll help shape customer health strategies, strengthen onboarding and engagement approaches, and work closely with Sales, Product and Engineering to ensure customers realise maximum value from the platform.

Operationally, youll focus on creating scalable and efficient ways of working. Youll introduce clear playbooks, improve systems and processes, and identify opportunities where AI and automation can enhance productivity, insight and service quality.

Youll also be a key voice within the leadership team, translating business objectives into a clear Customer Success roadmap and providing meaningful reporting around adoption, customer health, retention and team performance.

What were looking for
Youll likely bring experience leading Customer Success or customer-facing SaaS teams within a scaling technology business, along with a track record of building high-performing teams and improving customer retention.

Youll be commercially minded, highly collaborative and comfortable operating strategically while still staying close to operational detail. Experience introducing scalable processes, driving adoption initiatives and embedding data-led decision making will be important.

Were also looking for someone excited by the opportunity to embrace AI-enabled ways of working and help teams build confidence using modern tools and technologies as part of everyday customer engagement.

Why this role?
This is a genuine opportunity to shape the future of Customer Success within a growing SaaS organisation where your influence will be visible across the business. Youll have the autonomy to build, improve and lead, while working alongside ambitious teams committed to innovation, collaboration and customer value.
