EMEA Technical Customer Experience Lead

London, England, UK

ABOUT RETOOL

Nearly every company in the world runs on custom software: Gartner estimates that up to 50% of all code is written for internal use. This is the operational software for refunding orders, underwriting loans, onboarding employees, analyzing transactions, and providing customer support. But most companies don’t have adequate resources to properly invest in these tools, leading to a lot of old and clunky internal software or, even worse, users still stuck in manual and spreadsheet flows. 

At Retool, we’re on a mission to bring good software to everyone. We’re building a new type of development platform that combines the benefits of traditional software development with a drag-and-drop UI editor and AI, making it dramatically faster to build internal tools. We believe that the future of software development lies in abstracting away the tedious and repetitive tasks developers waste time on, while creating reusable components that act as a force multiplier for future developers and projects. The result is not just productivity, but good software by default. And that’s a mission worth striving for. 

Today, our customers span from small startups building their first operational tools to Fortune 500 companies building mission-critical apps for thousands of users across their business. Interested in joining us? Let us know! 

WHY WE’RE LOOKING FOR YOU

We’ve built a high-performing Technical Customer Experience organization- from Sales Engineering, Professional Services, Technical Account Management, and Support- and are looking for an experienced Regional Leader to lead this team through Retool’s next growth phase across EMEA. This new leader will augment our existing organization by challenging assumptions, mapping customer journey pathways, further developing the team, enhancing our methodology to include a balance of retention and expansion, and ensuring operational excellence to achieve measurable positive business outcomes for our customers and Retool.  This includes, but is not limited to, driving technical validation, onboarding, adoption, retention, expansion, and advocacy. The ideal candidate will have significant experience managing and maturing similar pre- and post-sales teams at high-growth SaaS companies, working across various customer types and industries.

  • Prioritize and funnel customer feedback to the Product Management team to optimize the whole service experience.
  • Drive the executive customer engagement programs to ensure tight connections and fast feedback loops with customers, influencers and the Retool executive team.
  • Serve as part of EMEA Leadership team locally as well as with the Global Technical Customer Leadership Team

THE SKILLSET YOU'LL BRING:

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities.

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.
