Vonage Communications APIs

As an emerging leader in the $10B+ communications API market, we empower global brands to connect better with their customers, employees, and partners through transformative communications experiences. For example, Vonage API solutions empower organizations to build their custom omnichannel communications structure.

Why this role matters

As the Regional Customer Success Senior Director for AMER, you will be a visionary, deeply customer-centric leader responsible for driving retention, lifetime value, and net revenue&margin retention across our AMER customers. This high-impact executive role owns the post-sale journey for all Mid-Market, Enterprise and Strategic accounts within the AMER region.

Beyond managing revenue and margin, you will serve as the primary champion for our clients, bringing the Voice of the Customer (VoC) directly to the heart of our organization. By translating regional customer insights into actionable feedback, you will play a pivotal role in shaping our global business, product, and go-to-market strategies. You will lead, inspire, and scale a multi-disciplinary regional organization of 15–25 professionals.

Your key responsibilities

1. Retention & Revenue Growth (Cross-Sell / Up-Sell)

  • Value Realization: Ensure the team effectively quantifies and communicates the ROI of our platform, transforming commoditised use of our products and reactive customer interactions, into frictionless partnerships.
  • Churn Mitigation: Establish proactive, customer-centric risk-identification frameworks and playbook methodologies to flag and rescue at-risk accounts early.
  • Value-Driven Commercial Expansion: Drive a robust commercial motion focused on identifying up-sell and cross-sell opportunities that genuinely align with the customer’s evolving business goals.

2. Team Leadership & People Development

Directly manage a diverse, matrixed regional team and foster a culture of empathy, high performance, and accountability:

  • Direct Reports (Senior CSMs): Manage a high-performing team of 6–10 Senior Customer Success Managers handling your most complex, high-touch strategic accounts.
  • Scale CS Team (Via Team Lead): Oversee a Team Lead managing 5–6 Junior CSMs, ensuring customer-centric, digital-touch methodologies deliver high satisfaction even at scale.
  • Technical Solutions Team (Via Team Lead): Oversee a Team Lead managing 5–6 Technical Solution Managers (TSMs), ensuring seamless implementation and aligning technical health with the customer's broader business objectives.

3. Strategic Leadership & Voice of the Customer (VoC)

  • Customer-Centric Advocacy: Act as the ultimate advocate for AMER enterprises, ensuring a customer-first mindset permeates every layer of the regional organization.
  • Cross-Functional Strategy Shaping: Systematize the collection of regional customer insights, pain points, and market trends. Actively bring this Voice of the Customer to Executive leadership, Product, Engineering, and Marketing to directly influence the global product roadmap and corporate strategy.

4. AI Innovation & Culture Transformation

  • AI-Amplified Culture: Champion and drive the adoption of an AI-first mindset within the CS organization. Encourage continuous experimentation with AI tools to optimize productivity and eliminate administrative overhead.
  • Intelligent Efficiency: Partner with CS Operations to implement AI-driven tooling for automated call summaries, predictive sentiment analysis, and automated proactive outreach playbooks.
  • Augmented Insights: Train and guide the management layer to leverage AI diagnostics for faster root-cause analysis of customer health and churn risks.

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.
