The Director of Customer Success is a high-impact leadership role reporting to the VP of Customer Success. You will be responsible for leading a team of three to five (3-5) Customer Success Managers (CSMs) with a primary mission of ensuring the retention and growth of approximately 60 contracts valued at over $100M. You will serve as the strategic architect for customer health, leveraging qualitative and quantitative measures to ensure our public safety partners realize maximum value from their investments. Our ideal candidate will thrive in a hybrid work environment, splitting their time between our Louisville, KY office (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday) and remote work (Friday).

• Executive Escalation: Serve as the primary trusted advisor and advocate for high-level client stakeholders, acting as an escalation point for complex issues to ensure long-term strategic alignment.

Team Management & Development

• CSM Leadership: Manage and coach a team of Customer Success Managers, fostering a culture of proactive leadership and consultative partnership.
• Process Optimization: Institutionalize the "Four Pillars of Success"—Strategic Customer Engagement, Product & Process Optimization, High-Impact Internal Collaboration, and Customer Relationship & Growth Strategy—across the team.
• Cross-Functional Advocacy: Coordinate with Account Executives (AEs) using the GOST (Goals, Opportunities, Strategy, Tactics) framework to monitor retention and growth plans for each account.
• Establish a superior internal network across all internal partners (Sales, Ops, Tech) to influence complex problem resolution, improved delivery and better outcomes for our customers.

Customer Health & Data Strategy

• Quantitative Monitoring: Establish and monitor account health metrics, product adoption rates, and utilization trends to proactively identify at-risk accounts.
• Qualitative Excellence: Standardize the delivery of Executive Business Reviews (QBRs/ABRs) to quantify business value and drive long-term alignment with client goals.
• Product Influence: Champion the "Voice of the Customer" internally to influence product roadmaps and prioritize enhancements based on documented user needs.

What experience you need: 

• 7+ years of experience in Customer Success, Account Management, or Strategic Consulting within the SaaS or Public Sector technology space.
• 3+ years of direct people management experience, with a proven track record of leading high-performing teams to meet or exceed retention targets.

• Expertise in leveraging CRM systems (Salesforce) and data visualization tools for account planning, forecasting, and tracking customer health metrics.
• Bachelor's degree in a related discipline (Business, Public Administration, etc.) or equivalent experience.
• Travel up to 25% of the time, or as needed, to support client initiatives.

What could set you apart:

• Public Safety Expertise: Deep knowledge of the government procurement process, state funding cycles, and grant mechanisms.
