The CS Strategist & Program Manager sits at the intersection of Customer Success strategy and operational execution. This is a high-impact individual contributor role operating at a senior manager level, acting as the connective tissue between CS leadership, cross-functional partners, and the broader business. Serving in a capacity akin to a Chief of Staff meets strategic operator, this role owns the strategic planning rhythm, drives critical CS initiatives from concept through completion, and ensures the right work gets done at the right time. This role requires someone who thrives on ambiguity, moves fast, and translates high-level strategy into concrete execution plans without losing the big picture.

Responsibilities:

Strategic Planning & Chief of Staff Functions

  • Own and drive the CSM annual and quarterly planning process, including OKR development, roadmap prioritization, and executive alignment.
  • Serve as a strategic partner to CSM leadership, preparing briefings, decision memos, and exec-ready presentations for leadership reviews, QBRs, and board materials.
  • Identify strategic gaps, risks, and opportunities across the CS organization and develop recommendations for leadership action.
  • Manage the CSM leadership operating cadence — agendas, follow-ups, decision logs, and cross-functional coordination.
  • Act as a trusted proxy for CSM leadership in cross-functional forums, representing CS priorities and driving alignment with Product, Sales, Marketing, and Finance.

Program Management & Execution

  • Own end-to-end program management for strategic CSM initiatives — scoping, planning, resourcing, risk tracking, and delivery.
  • Develop and maintain program charters, project plans, RAID logs, and stakeholder communication plans.
  • Drive clarity and accountability across workstreams, ensuring cross-functional owners are aligned and on-track.
  • Proactively surface blockers and risks to leadership with recommendations for resolution.
  • Build scalable playbooks and frameworks that operationalize strategic priorities across the CS organization.

CSM Strategy & Insights

  • Partner with CS Analytics and Finance to synthesize data into strategic insights that inform CS strategy — retention trends, expansion opportunities, health metrics, and customer segment performance.
  • Develop business cases and ROI frameworks for new CS investments and motions.
  • Lead strategic research and benchmarking to inform CS best practices and competitive differentiation.
  • Support the development and iteration of the CS model, including coverage models, segmentation strategy, and engagement frameworks.

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of experience in Customer Success, strategy, consulting, chief of staff, or a related field within a B2B SaaS environment.
  • Preferred: Prior experience in a Chief of Staff, Strategy & Operations, or CS Strategy role at a high-growth SaaS company.
  • Preferred: Experience supporting VP or C-suite executives in a fast-paced environment.
  • Preferred: Background in cybersecurity, security awareness, or adjacent technology markets.
  • Preferred: MBA or equivalent advanced degree.

Required Technical & Core Skills:

  • Proven ability to manage complex, cross-functional programs from inception to delivery with multiple stakeholders.
  • Strong strategic thinking skills — comfortable working with ambiguous problems and translating them into clear frameworks, recommendations, and execution plans.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to craft exec-ready narratives and presentations.
  • High degree of ownership and bias to action; ability to drive projects forward autonomously.
  • Proficiency with program management tools (e.g., Asana, Jira, Monday.com) and presentation tools (PowerPoint, Google Slides).
  • Ability to synthesize quantitative and qualitative data into actionable insights.
  • Preferred: Familiarity with CS platforms (e.g., Gainsight, Salesforce) and CS metrics (NRR, GRR, NPS, CSAT, time-to-value).

The salary for this position ranges from $120,000-$160,000, which will vary depending on how well an applicant's skills and experience align with the job description listed above.

Application deadline: 7/30/2026.  This is our good-faith estimate of the date the application window is anticipated to close. KnowBe4 reviews applications on a rolling basis and reserves the right to close the application window early if a qualified candidate for the position is identified.

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.
