• Own retention workflows and execute targeted “save” strategies to improve recovery rates and reduce preventable churn.
• Establish voice‑of‑customer feedback loops with Product and Marketing, translating insights into improvements across onboarding, adoption, and retention.
• Identify expansion and referral opportunities, partnering on qualified upgrade handoffs and ensuring closed‑loop follow‑up.
• Lead, develop, and scale a Customer Success and Retention team, defining KPIs, workflows, and performance management practices.
• Build reporting, dashboards, and operating cadence to track and drive retention performance.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree required; MBA or advanced degree preferred.
• 10+ years in Customer Success, Retention, or Account Management.
• 5+ years leading teams and owning retention outcomes.

• Strong operator who can build scalable processes and lead teams.
• Data‑driven mindset with experience in health scoring and lifecycle metrics.
• Collaborative leader who can partner across Sales, Product, Marketing, and Operations.
