• Collaborate with Sales to decrease ramp time, increase win rates, and align on renewal strategy and expansion pipeline.

• Partner with Product to surface customer feedback and close the loop on product gaps; engage the VP Solutions on implementation scoping and pre-sales commitments.

• Maintain executive-level dashboards tracking NRR, CSAT, time-to-value, ticket volume/resolution, and utilization.

• Oversee the technology stack supporting delivery teams (CSP, ticketing, PSA, knowledge management).

• Report regularly to the executive team and board on customer health, retention performance, and delivery capacity.

• 15+ years in post-sale customer-facing roles, with 5+ years leading multiple delivery functions (CSM, Professional Services, Support) at VP level or above in a global SaaS or enterprise technology environment.

• Proven track record owning NRR/GRR targets of $50M+ and driving measurable improvements in retention, expansion, and time-to-value.

• Demonstrated ability to scale international teams across North America, EMEA, and APAC and manage complex P&L responsibilities for service delivery, including PS as a revenue-generating function.

• Strong record partnering with Sales to optimize win rates and streamline the transition from contract to implementation.

• Deep understanding of SaaS customer lifecycle economics — CAC payback, LTV, NRR, GRR, and churn drivers.

• Proficiency with CS platforms, ticketing systems (Zendesk, Salesforce Service Cloud), and PSA tools.
