• Track, analyze, and communicate key metrics and business trends to senior leadership, providing strategic insights and actionable recommendations to achieve global Customer Success objectives.
• Demonstrate strong business acumen and a “company‑first” mindset, including the ability to make difficult decisions and have tough conversations with the team, while championing the principle of “agree and commit” on company strategies.
• Architect and lead large‑scale, cross‑functional initiatives to drive operational efficiency and scalability, with strong focus on process optimization and automation.
• Positively challenge the status quo and champion new ideas to improve the Customer Success function and the overall customer experience.
• Lead change management initiatives related to new processes, tools, or strategies, ensuring smooth adoption and team buy‑in.

What we are looking for:

• Demonstrated ability to drive strategic initiatives and deliver business outcomes at a regional or global level.
• Exceptional communication and presentation skills, with the ability to articulate complex information and influence executive‑level stakeholders.
• Strong technical aptitude with the ability to rapidly master complex product suites (Identity/Fraud) and articulate value to technical stakeholders.
• Experience in leading and delivering large‑scale, cross‑functional projects that have a company‑wide impact.
• A strong business solutions focus, with an emphasis on helping customers meet and exceed their business outcomes.
• Proven track record of hands‑on execution. Can‑do attitude and a proven ability to operate effectively in an unstructured and changing environment.
