About the role

We are seeking a Strategic Partnership and Launch Leader to join our team. This is a unique opportunity to build and lead a function dedicated to orchestrating our most critical and complex new subscriber launches and strategic partnerships. This person will play a pivotal role in guiding high-impact new subscriber launches (NSL) and strategic transitions by providing clear ownership, executive-level coordination, and disciplined execution from planning through stabilization.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead end-to-end new subscriber launches and at-risk transitions, serving as the primary point of continuity and accountability.

  • Establish clear ownership, milestones, and success metrics across the subscriber lifecycle from planning through stabilization.

  • Develop and execute comprehensive launch strategies that align business objectives with customer success outcomes.

  • Identify and mitigate risks early, escalating issues and implementing solutions proactively.

  • Partner closely with Account Management, Expansion, Revenue & Growth, Fulfillment & Delivery, and Product teams to ensure coordinated execution.

  • Lead cross-functional alignment meetings, driving consensus on priorities, dependencies, and accountability.

  • Break down silos and facilitate communication between teams to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

  • Support and enable existing team structures rather than replacing them, complement and enhance current capabilities.

  • Manage executive-level relationships and communications with strategic/priority subscribers.

  • Prepare and deliver executive briefings, status updates, and business reviews.

  • Escalate critical issues appropriately and recommend strategic solutions.

  • Serve as a trusted advisor to leadership on complex customer situations.

  • Establish and track key performance indicators (KPIs) and success metrics for each launch.

  • Maintain detailed project plans, timelines, and dependency maps.

  • Ensure accountability through clear ownership assignments and regular progress monitoring.

  • Document lessons learned and best practices to continuously improve launch processes.

  • Provide consistent leadership through critical transition points and key milestones.

  • Ensure smooth handoffs between launch and steady-state operations.

  • Monitor post-launch performance and support stabilization efforts.

  • Build long-term strategic relationships with key subscribers.

Qualifications

  • 5-7 years of experience in customer success, account management, program management, or related roles with demonstrated expertise in managing complex, high-stakes engagements.

  • Experience in EHS, ESG, or operational risk management industries.

  • Strong cross-functional leadership experience with ability to influence and align teams without direct authority.

  • Outstanding organizational and project management skills with ability to manage multiple complex initiatives simultaneously.

  • Domain expertise in B2B enterprise customer engagement, SaaS operations, or similar environments.

  • Background in customer lifecycle management or customer success operations.

  • Familiarity with CRM systems, project management tools, and business analytics platforms.

  • Experience in a matrix organization or complex organizational structure.

Benefits

  • Annual bonus programs.

  • Regular team-building events.

  • Engaging team activities including happy hours and exciting virtual events.

  • Benchmark Gensuite Team Member Networks, such as the Respect for Diversity Group and the Sustainability Group, offering a safe and supportive space for team members to voice their ideas and initiate action.
