About The Position

About Us We’re a team that acts fast, stays close to the details, communicates with optimism, and supports one another relentlessly. We care deeply about delivering value for customers, improving a little bit every day, and using data and insight—not guesswork—to guide decisions. When challenges come up (and they do), we solve them together. The Opportunity Sauce’s Customer Success and Onboarding engines are already running with established processes and strong customer satisfaction. Now we’re looking for a Head of Customer Success & Onboarding to strengthen, scale, and streamline these functions. This is a true player–coach role. You'll own strategic accounts and complex onboardings yourself, while elevating how the team operates—tightening predictability, sharpening communication, and making the customer journey more efficient and more consistent. You’ll help the team execute with clarity and confidence, ensure customers feel supported at every step, and build systems that reduce friction for everyone. Success in this role means smoother go-lives, better adoption, clearer expectations, and customers who stay and grow because Sauce has become essential to their business.
