  • Own forecasting frameworks across the Customer Success organization, including customer health trajectories, adoption milestones, churn risk signals, and expansion revenue potential
  • Track actuals against plan with discipline: identify deviations early, diagnose root causes, and bring forward-looking recommendations
  • Lead monthly and quarterly business reviews for Customer Success leadership, owning the narrative, surfacing strategic gaps, and driving action
  • Build financial models and business cases supporting investment decisions across Customer Success (new programs, new tooling, new headcount)
  • Challenge assumptions with data, stress-testing decisions made from instinct or anecdote

Implementation Operations

  • Own the full operational picture of the Implementation team, including funnel metrics, engagement rates, completion rates, open office hours volumes, and downstream customer outcome correlation
  • Design and own the KPI framework for Implementation, defining what good looks like across each stage of the implementation journey and the measurement infrastructure to track it
  • Build the analytics layer connecting implementation activity to downstream customer outcomes to support evidence-based investment and optimization decisions
  • Identify strategic and operational gaps in how the Implementation program runs and build a data-driven case for change
  • Own the RevOps relationship with the customer support platform (Freshdesk), understanding system architecture, identifying operational friction, and proactively working with the systems team to drive improvements
  • Flag data integrity issues, broken workflows, and reporting gaps to the systems team before they compound
  • Represent Implementation’s operational needs in tooling or platform investment discussions
  • Design and govern process standards and documentation to provide operational consistency and institutional memory

Customer Success Operations

  • Own the operational foundation for the Customer Success organization: processes, reporting infrastructure, KPI frameworks, and systems (building much of this from the ground up)
  • Partner with Customer Success leadership to define, align on, and operationalize the KPI framework, including:
    • CSM effectiveness at scale
    • How customer health is measured and acted upon
    • Meaningful engagement and how it is tracked
  • Build the analytics framework connecting Customer Success activity to business outcomes, including:

    • Engagement depth and correlation with retention
    • Add-on and usage revenue attribution by Customer Success activity type
    • Cohort analysis of Customer Success–engaged vs. non-engaged segments
  • Own the Success AI bot from a RevOps operational standpoint: track performance metrics, measure impact on customer experience and resolution quality, surface gaps between deflection rates and customer satisfaction, and work with the AI team on continuous improvement priorities
  • Design operational cadences, escalation frameworks, and handoff standards from Implementation, plus renewal and expansion triggers governing how CSMs manage their book of business
  • Partner with the systems team on Customer Success tooling requirements, defining needs clearly, driving adoption, and ensuring data integrity

Retention Intelligence, Process Design & Organizational Leadership

  • Build and own the retention analytics framework connecting Implementation and Customer Success activity to downstream customer lifetime value, churn, and expansion outcomes
  • Develop an early warning system providing proactive visibility into at-risk customers before churn becomes inevitable
  • Quantify the business impact of Implementation and Customer Success for leadership, translating operational activity into revenue and retention outcomes
  • Identify where product gaps drive customer outcomes that Implementation and Customer Success cannot fix operationally, and surface findings to Product with structured evidence
  • Feed Customer Success and Implementation insights into the broader GTM customer lifecycle intelligence layer in partnership with the GTM Strategy function

Requirements

  • 10+ years of professional trajectory across Revenue Operations, Customer Success Operations, or GTM Strategy, demonstrating high-fidelity expertise in sophisticated post-sale environments

  • Proven track record of engineering Success Operations or Implementation frameworks from foundational stages to institutional scale
  • Demonstrated capability to establish the causal nexus between implementation velocity and quantifiable retention or revenue expansion outcomes
  • Sophisticated background in PLG or hybrid SaaS models, mastering operational nuances where self-serve and high-touch assisted motions intersect
