We are shaping the future of work itself. About the RoleSkan AI is one of the category leaders defining the agentic AI era — combining process intelligence with autonomous agents through the Skan Trifecta: Blueprint, Intelligence, and Agents. This role sits closer to enterprise-level decision-making than most roles at this career stage typically allow: direct, daily partnership with the CCO, visibility into strategic decision making process, and a front-row seat to how a fast-growing AI company scales its customer function. It's a role built for someone who wants to learn how a company is actually run at the executive level — not just report on it. The role itself is the CCO's decision-support system — the person who turns customer health, delivery health, cost-to-serve, and NDR performance into what the CCO and the leadership team actually act on. It doesn't run the CS org; it makes the CCO better at running it, by owning the data, the models, and the operating cadence that decisions get made against. It's also the CCO's proxy in cross-functional forums where the customer KPI's need to be represented with authority — and the person who drives the CCO's strategic initiatives to completion across a leadership team that doesn't report to this role. Key Responsibilities1. CCO Decision Support & Executive IntelligenceSynthesize customer health, delivery health, cost-to-serve, and NDR data into what the CCO needs to walk into any room and make the callSupport the CCO with board and QBR materials — key data, analysis and outcomesRepresent the CCO's data-backed point of view in cross-functional executive forums — Product, Sales, Finance, MarketingOwn renewal forecast visibility and pipeline risk reporting so the CCO sees exposure before it becomes a surprise2.
