- Forecast team capacity, define hiring needs, and build career paths that attract and retain top Customer Success talent
Requirements
- Proven experience leading Customer Success or Account Management teams in a B2B SaaS environment, with accountability for retention and revenue outcomes; accounting, tax, or financial services technology experience strongly preferred
