The Role

We’re looking for a strategic and hands-on Director of Customer Operations to scale and modernize our Customer Success and Professional Services functions. This role sits at the center of our post-sales engine, partnering closely with CS and PS leadership to drive operational excellence, predictable growth, and exceptional customer outcomes.

What You’ll Do

  • Own Customer Operations Strategy: Partner with CS and PS leadership to define and execute a data-driven customer success strategy that improves retention, expansion, and customer lifetime value

  • Build Scalable Systems & Processes: Design and optimize end-to-end customer workflows (onboarding through renewal), incorporating automation and AI-assisted workflows to increase coverage and efficiency

  • Operationalize AI in Post-Sales: Identify and implement AI-powered solutions (e.g., health scoring, risk prediction, next-best action) to enable more proactive and predictive customer management

  • Insights, Forecasting & Planning: Develop dashboards and reporting that translate data into action, including predictive models for churn, expansion, capacity, and headcount planning

  • Customer Segmentation & Coverage: Define segmentation and engagement models (high-touch vs. digital), ensuring the right level of coverage and resource allocation across the customer base

  • Tooling & Technology: Own the CS tech stack, prioritizing AI-enabled platforms that improve productivity, visibility, and customer engagement

  • Team Enablement: Equip CSMs with playbooks, insights, and AI-driven guidance to operate more strategically and deliver consistent outcomes

  • Customer Health & Journey Optimization: Continuously refine customer health frameworks and lifecycle journeys using real-time data and predictive signals

  • Cross-Functional Alignment: Partner with Sales, Product, and Marketing to create a unified, data-driven view of the customer and embed customer insights into GTM decisions

  • Executive Reporting & Planning: Lead QBRs, board reporting, and annual planning, bringing clear, insight-driven narratives to leadership

What You Bring

  • 8+ years in Customer Success Operations, RevOps, or related SaaS leadership roles

  • Proven experience scaling post-sales functions in high-growth environments

  • Strong fluency in data, analytics, and AI-driven tools, with the ability to translate insights into action

  • Deep understanding of SaaS metrics (NRR, GRR, churn, expansion) and customer lifecycle management

  • Track record of building scalable processes, systems, and forecasting models

  • Strong cross-functional leadership and communication skills, with experience influencing executive stakeholders

  • Builder mindset - comfortable operating in ambiguity and driving structure in fast-moving environments
