About the role
Ramp is the fastest-growing corporate card and spend management platform in America. We are seeking a Head of Enterprise & Strategic Success to lead our Customer Success motion across Ramp’s largest and most complex accounts. This role is responsible for building and executing the activation strategy that drives spend adoption, deepens product penetration, and accelerates time-to-value for accounts where organizational complexity, global footprint, and change management are defining challenges.
Responsibilities
- Lead Enterprise & Strategic Customer Success
- Own the end-to-end customer success strategy for Ramp’s Enterprise and Strategic segments, setting the vision for how we activate, retain, and expand our largest accounts.
- Build, lead, and develop a high-performing team of Enterprise CSMs, establishing a culture of accountability, intellectual curiosity, and customer obsession.
- Define and drive the key metrics for the segment: spend activation rate, product adoption rate, time-to-value, net revenue retention, and customer health scores.
- Other metrics could include CSM-sourced leads and multiple-product attach rates.
- Serve as the executive sponsor and escalation point for Ramp’s most complex and highest-value customer relationships. Drive Change & Transformation Management
- Design and lead change management frameworks tailored to large multinational corporations undergoing financial operations transformation, including agentic workflows, with Ramp.
- Partner with enterprise customers’ executive stakeholders (CFOs, VPs of Finance, Procurement leaders) to build adoption roadmaps that account for organizational complexity, regional variance, and multi-entity structures.
- Develop playbooks for navigating the unique challenges of enterprise activation: multi-stakeholder alignment, global rollout sequencing, compliance requirements, and legacy system migration.
- Bring a transformation management lens to every engagement—ensuring that Ramp is not just a tool adoption, but a catalyst for how enterprises rethink their financial operations.
- Operationalize & Scale with AI
- Build AI-augmented workflows across the enterprise CS motion—from AI-driven health scoring and predictive analytics to automated customer communication and just-in-time product enablement.
- Develop a clear framework for where AI should handle, assist, or defer to human CSMs across the customer lifecycle, ensuring the right balance of efficiency and high-touch service.
- Champion AI fluency across the team: set the expectation that every CSM actively uses AI tools in their day-to-day work and maintains a point of view on how AI is reshaping customer success.
- Partner with Product and Engineering to build feedback loops that translate enterprise customer insights into platform improvements, powered by data synthesis and AI-driven pattern recognition.
- Cross-Functional Leadership
- Collaborate closely with Enterprise Sales, Solutions Engineering, and Partnerships to ensure seamless handoffs and a unified customer experience from pre-sale through long-term expansion.
- Influence Product roadmap by synthesizing enterprise customer needs, competitive intelligence, and market trends into actionable insights for the Product team.
- Build and maintain executive-level relationships across the customer portfolio, positioning Ramp as a strategic partner—not just a vendor—to the world’s largest organizations.
Requirements
- 10+ years of experience in Customer Success, Account Management, or Post-Sales leadership, with at least 5 years in a senior leadership role managing enterprise or strategic accounts.
- Proven experience leading change management and digital transformation initiatives within large multinational corporations—you’ve navigated the complexity of global rollouts, multi-entity structures, and executive stakeholder alignment.
- Track record of building and scaling high-performing CS teams (20+ CSMs) with clear operating cadences, performance frameworks, and a culture of continuous improvement.
- Deep expertise in enterprise activation metrics: spend activation, product adoption, time-to-value, net revenue retention, and customer health scoring.
- Strong AI fluency—you actively use AI tools in your work, have a clear point of view on AI’s role in customer success, and can drive adoption of AI-augmented workflows across a team.
- Exceptional executive presence and communication skills, with the ability to engage C-suite stakeholders at Fortune 500 companies and translate complex organizational dynamics into actionable CS strategies.
- Experience in fintech, SaaS, or financial operations is strongly preferred; familiarity with corporate card, expense management, or procurement platforms is a plus.
- Comfort operating in a high-growth, fast-moving environment where you’ll be building the playbook as you go—not inheriting a fully mature operation.
Qualifications
- Experience with management consulting or professional services delivery for enterprise accounts.
- Background in organizational change management methodologies (e.g., Prosci, Kotter, ADKAR) applied in a technology adoption context.
- Experience building or leading customer success for a category-creating product—where you had to define what “success” looks like for customers, not just optimize an existing motion.
- Familiarity with Gong, Salesforce, or similar platforms for call coaching, pipeline management, and customer intelligence.
