You will also play a key role in accelerating growth by ensuring customer insights, adoption trends and unmet needs are translated into expansion opportunities for our Account Management teams.

This role combines strategic leadership, operational transformation and commercial impact, making it an ideal opportunity for a senior Customer Success leader looking to shape a function at scale.

Strengthen Customer Health and Retention

• Implement a global customer health framework using adoption, engagement and usage data.
• Develop proactive risk identification and intervention models.
• Use customer insights to uncover systemic drivers of churn and customer friction.
• Provide actionable customer intelligence to support successful renewal strategies.

Partner for Growth

• Embed commercial thinking throughout the Customer Success organisation.
• Create repeatable processes for identifying expansion, cross-sell and upsell opportunities.
• Partner closely with Account Management to contribute customer insight and growth opportunities.
• Measure and increase Customer Success contribution to account expansion and customer growth.

• Develop future capability across consultative customer engagement, commercial acumen, value-based conversations and data literacy.
• Establish clear career pathways, performance expectations and leadership standards.
• Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, innovation and customer focus.

What We\'re Looking For

We're interested in speaking with experienced Customer Success leaders who have successfully built, transformed or scaled global customer-facing functions in subscription or recurring revenue businesses.

• Significant leadership experience within Customer Success, Customer Experience or post-sales organisations.
• Experience operating in SaaS, subscription, data, information services, technology or recurring revenue environments.
• A proven track record of improving onboarding, adoption, engagement, retention and customer outcomes.
• Experience designing customer segmentation strategies, customer journeys and scalable operating models.
