Head of Customer Success 

Location: Palo Alto, CA, USA

We’re looking for an experienced and passionate Customer Success leader who can operate at both strategic and tactical levels. You’ll set the vision and strategy for Customer Success globally, lead a high-caliber team, and be a key voice across the company, influencing product, go-to-market, and support decisions. You will be expected to elevate customer experience through data, urgency, and trust-building, ensuring customers see meaningful outcomes from day one through long-term partnership.

You will thrive here if you’re action-oriented, data-driven, and relentless about earning customer trust, even in difficult situations.

What You'll Do

  • Set and scale the global Customer Success vision, strategy, and operating model aligned with company growth, especially in the enterprise space.
  • Lead and grow a team of CSMs, coaches, and strategic customer partners across multiple geographies and customer segments.
  • Drive urgency and action across the team to resolve customer challenges, accelerate value realization, and exceed adoption and retention goals.
  • Establish playbooks for onboarding, success planning, renewal, and expansion that are agile enough to serve both fast-moving startups and complex enterprises.
  • Use data rigorously to manage team performance, customer health, and risk, and proactively solve churn or adoption blockers.
  • Champion the voice of the customer in product and GTM decisions. Collaborate tightly with Product, Engineering, Support, and Sales.
  • Navigate complexity and lead through ambiguity with clarity, urgency, and trust—especially in high-pressure customer situations - by establishing frameworks and metrics for accountability.
  • Foster a customer-first culture across the organization that prizes ownership, responsiveness, and excellence. Promote deep understanding of customer organization, including how to engage with end-users, build champions, and drive grassroots product advocacy that scales.

About You

  • 10+ years of experience in Customer Success, Account Management, or Professional Services, with 4+ years leading teams in high-growth SaaS environments.
  • Proven track record of building and scaling CS teams that serve enterprise and technical audiences.
  • Deep understanding of SaaS metrics and a data-first approach to decision-making and performance management.
  • You lead from the front—balancing strategic thinking with a bias for action and a hands-on approach when needed.
  • Excellent cross-functional collaborator who can influence without authority and drive outcomes across Product, Sales, and Support.
  • Comfortable in ambiguity and energized by fast growth, high expectations, and big opportunity.
  • Experience supporting customers in technical domains such as DevOps, AI, or APIs is a strong plus.

Compensation: The base salary range for this position is $165k+ in addition to equity. This range represents the expected base pay for this role. Actual compensation will be determined based on factors such as experience, skills, and location.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
