- Engage with C-suite and VP-level stakeholders on customer outcomes and value realization
- Represent Customer Success in executive and ELT-level discussions when needed
Program Evolution & Operational Excellence
- Own and drive at least one meaningful CS system improvement annually, such as:
- Onboarding model redesign
- Customer health scoring evolution
- Expansion playbook development
- Tiering or segmentation strategy refinement
- Partner cross-functionally with Sales, Product, and Services to improve lifecycle outcomes
- Ensure all changes are documented and scalable across the organization
People Leadership & Talent Development

- Build leadership depth within the Customer Success organization
- Define and reinforce what “great” looks like across CS roles
- Expand team member scope and autonomy over time
- Create durable operating artifacts (playbooks, templates, frameworks) that outlast individual tenure
Data-Driven Decision Making
- Operate fluently in CS and revenue data systems such as Salesforce and customer analytics tools such as Pendo
- Use data to explain NRR movement, expansion drivers, and retention risks
- Ensure decisions are grounded in measurable outcomes, not intuition alone
What You Bring
- 8–10+ years of Customer Success experience
- 3–4+ years of people leadership, including managers and/or senior ICs
- Proven ownership of renewal outcomes that materially impact ARR
- Background in fashion/apparel industry; product expertise in PLM, 3D/AI design
- Experience partnering with VP-level leaders to shape CS strategy
- Demonstrated ability to evolve a Customer Success operating model, not just run one
- Strong commercial acumen with deep understanding of NRR, expansion, and retention drivers
- Executive-level communication skills with both internal leadership and external customers
- Strong analytical mindset and comfort working in structured data environments (e.g., Salesforce, customer health systems, and usage analytics tools like Pendo)
