As Enterprise Director of Customer Success, you will lead a team of Enterprise CSMs across experience levels – and own the Enterprise segment's NRR outcomes, engagement model, and team performance. You will be accountable for the full post-sale success motion in the Enterprise segment: retention, expansion pipeline generation, executive business review quality, success plan coverage, and forecasting accuracy.
