Director of Customer Success

Job description

Who You Are You've built client relationships in high-stakes environments where credibility is hard-won, and expectations don't drop after the engagement ends. You know how to take a post incident moment and turn it into a long-term partnership that grows and expands our cyber and IT footprint. You speak the language of CISOs, IT leaders, and financial buyers and you know what it takes to earn their confidence when the pressure has passed and the real work begins. You're as comfortable building a retention playbook from scratch as you are presenting expansion metrics to a CRO. You've led CS functions before. You know that real client loyalty, the kind that shows up in net retention and renewal rates, takes sharp strategy and the willingness to roll up your sleeves. You don't wait for the process to exist. You build it.
