End-to-End Function Ownership:
Take full strategic and operational ownership of the Customer Success department, aligning CS objectives directly with company-wide growth and financial goals.
Commercial Accountability:
Own various KPIs, including gross and net revenue & customer retention metrics (GRR/NRR) proactively identifying expansion opportunities and protecting the core customer base.
Customer Success Plan:
Define and execute a multi-phase organizational roadmap focused on developing the team and systems to support them.
2. People Leadership & Team Development

Manage department budgeting, headcount forecasting, and incentive structures to ensure the team is staffed and incentivized to hit growth targets.
Enablement:
Establish continuous training, career paths, and documentation to ensure consistent execution of LumiQ’s success methodology as the team expands.
3. Establish & Manage the Operating Rhythm
Success Cadence Execution:
Design, implement, and lead the Customer Success Operating Rhythm, ensuring clear, consistent frameworks for reviewing "at-risk" accounts, CSM activities, and performance tracking.
Data-Driven Intervention:
Maintain a rigorous pulse on customer health, product usage, and engagement metrics to ensure the team’s daily efforts are directed at the highest-leverage priorities.

Proactive Risk Architectures:
Build and maintain an automated "Early Warning System" that monitors usage, seat utilization and relationship sentiment in real-time, instantly arming CSMs with retention playbooks before risks turn into churn.
Automated Customer Insights:
Implement tools to automate data aggregation for Executive Business Reviews (EBRs) and monthly performance reports, shifting the CSM's role from "data gatherer" to "strategic business advisor."
Who You Are:: 8+ years of progressive leadership experience in Customer Success, Account Management, or Revenue/CS Operations, with at least 3-5 years managing entire teams within a high-growth B2B SaaS environment.
