account plans, pipeline, and expansion from day one so customers see one Dot team.

This is a commercial role. And your first priority is the team: developing your managers and CSMs and

driving results through them. You will be accountable for the North America customer success book of

business, leading your team’s renewals, including multi-year terms and pricing and working closely with

sales on expansion. You will also personally own your own book of business. We want someone who
