Purpose

We are seeking a Chief Customer Officer to lead our entire post-sale lifecycle. In this mission critical executive role, you will hold a unified mandate: overseeing Account Management (proactive commercial health), Customer Support (reactive hardware and software troubleshooting), and our Network Operations Command Center (NOCC delivering proactive infrastructure and IoT stability).

Job Type

Full-time

Position Responsibilities

Executive Leadership

• Lead, design, and scale a unified post-sale organization combining Account Management, Tier 1/2 and Tier 3 Support, and the NOCC to support growth of 3X over the next 4 years.
• Establish blended "North Star" metrics that weigh technical stability (Uptime, MTBF) equally with commercial health (NRR, Customer Adoption).
• Drive continuous process improvement to ensure seamless handoffs between NOC incident detection, Support triage, and proactive Customer Success Management (CSM) client communication.

Network Operations Command Center (NOCC) Leadership

• Provide executive oversight for the NOCC, ensuring 24/7 monitoring, incident response, and high availability of our localized IoT hardware and network ecosystems.
• Establish strict operational firewalls to protect NOCC engineers and technicians from the daily support queue, allowing them to focus entirely on macro-level infrastructure health and rapid outage resolution.
• Partner closely with the Engineering and Product teams to feed IoT hardware and software failure rates and IoT network and hardware telemetry back into the product development lifecycle.

Customer Support & Logistics Operations

• Oversee Tier 1 and Tier 2 Customer Support, ensuring strict adherence to First Contact Resolution (FCR) and Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
• Manage the physical realities of a HaaS business, integrating reverse logistics, hardware troubleshooting, and RMA workflows into the support lifecycle to minimize customer downtime.

Account Management & Customer Success

• Own the Gross and Net Retention Rate (NRR) targets across the entire enterprise portfolio.
• Guide the CSM team to shift from reactive relationship management to proactive, data‑driven value delivery and account expansion.
• Develop executive‑level relationships with key enterprise and district leaders (K‑12 experience is a significant plus) to align our technology with their strategic operational goals.

Requirements

• Executive Scale: 10+ years of senior leadership experience, with a proven track record of scaling a post‑sale organization well beyond $100M+ ARR
• Multi‑Disciplinary Leadership: Demonstrated success managing both heavily commercial teams (CSMs owning retention metrics) and highly technical operations (NOC, Tier 2 Support, infrastructure engineers) under a single umbrella.
• Data‑Driven Operator: Ability to context‑switch effortlessly between technical support metrics and managing commercial revenue forecasts.
• Industry Context: Experience within the enterprise safety/security technology sectors is highly preferred.
• HaaS and SaaS backgrounds: Understanding of the operational complexities inherent in connected physical devices. SaaS experience is required.
• Location: Must be based in, or willing to relocate to, the Atlanta, GA metropolitan area.

What’s in it for you?

• Remote first work environment; we offer workplace flexibility
• Participation in company wide discretionary bonus
• Fifteen days of PTO plus twelve company holidays
• Three days of paid Sick Leave and one floating holiday
• Monthly device(s) reimbursement
• Up to $2500/year reimbursement for eligible education expenses
