Role Overview

We're hiring a Head of Customer Experience to own the post-sale experience — Support and Onboarding — for Wealth.com's advisors and their end clients. As leader of Customer Success, you will have the unique opportunity to unify and build out a single, scalable customer experience function and build the infrastructure to carry it through our next 18–24 months of growth. This is primarily a process, people, and systems leadership role — not a hands-on delivery seat. You'll spend most of your time designing the operating model, coaching the team, and building the technology and workflow backbone that lets a lean team support a fast-growing advisor base. That said, we're still a company where everyone gets their hands dirty when it counts, and you should be comfortable stepping into a ticket, a call, or an onboarding session when the moment calls for it.

What You'll Do

• Strategic Leadership
  • Define the vision and multi-year roadmap for Customer Success, including Support, Onboarding, and Enablement, as our customer base scales in volume and complexity
  • Build a high-performing team with clear structure, ownership, and accountability — hiring, developing, and retaining talent who are genuinely committed to serving customers well
  • Champion AI and automation as a lever for scaling the function
  • Set and own the KPIs that define success for the function and report on them to leadership
• Operational Excellence
  • Build and continuously refine scalable onboarding frameworks, support models, and workflows that hold up as customer segments and product complexity grow
  • Establish the SOPs, tooling, and escalation paths that let the team operate consistently at scale
  • Own the operating cadence for the function — regular reviews of volume, themes, and friction points — so issues surface early and get resourced before they become churn risk
  • Ensure every process decision is evidence-based and defensible: instrument the funnel so claims about what's working (or not) can be shown, not asserted
• Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Partner with Sales and Account Management to build a seamless, connected customer lifecycle — from handoff at close, through onboarding, to renewal and expansion conversations
  • Partner with Product and Design to ensure the customer experience evolves in lockstep with the product, translating what customers actually need into clear input for the roadmap
  • Represent the voice of the customer in cross-functional planning, ensuring CS isn't just executing decisions made elsewhere but shaping them

What You'll Bring

• A track record of owning outcomes, not just inheriting them — you can speak to specific changes you drove (an incentive redesign, a new lifecycle program, a support model overhaul) and the data behind why they worked.
• Demonstrated people leadership — real examples of getting a team aligned and moving in the same direction, not just "I managed a team of X."
• Comfort operating with ambiguity and speed. A blend of institutional rigor and startup adaptability — in either order — is ideal.
• Executive presence: polished communication and the ability to present data and recommendations directly to leadership.
• Genuine empathy for the financial advisor's experience — understanding that a bad moment for their end client reflects directly back on them, and that timing (a task due before a client meeting in the next hour) can matter as much as the task itself.
• Experience leading Support and/or Onboarding through Series A/B through the next stage of growth, and ability to translate that playbook into Wealth.com; or experience from a more established Customer Success/Experience function where you can see 18–24 months ahead and are ready to apply that experience proactively rather than reactively.

Nice to Have

• Experience in fintech or another regulated, relationship-driven vertical.
• Experience standing up or scaling an AI-assisted support model (e.g., Intercom/Fin or similar).
• Experience building both enterprise/institutional and SMB-style onboarding motions in parallel.

Benefits & Perks

• Hybrid work arrangement in New York City (3x a week)
• Excellent medical, dental, and vision insurance options, with low-cost premium structures that demonstrate our commitment to offering great value to our employees.
• 100% company-paid basic life insurance, short-term and long-term disability insurance.
• 100% paid parental leave upon eligibility.
• Company equity managed through Carta.
• 401k with match and 100% vesting upon hire.
• Flexible PTO in an environment where taking time off to relax or recharge is supported and encouraged.
• Take time off for holidays—and yes, your birthday counts too. Celebrate, relax, and recharge without thinking twice.
• Free estate planning for life!
