Requirements

5+ years in customer-facing roles, with at least 3+ years directly managing people managers or team leads — ideally in SaaS, hospitality tech, or implementation/onboarding
Demonstrated ability to lead large, distributed teams through change and growth; you raise the ceiling for the people around you
Deep understanding of both SMB and Enterprise customer dynamics, and how to design processes that serve both
Fluent in customer success tooling — Salesforce, Gainsight, Looker, or equivalents — and comfortable making data-driven decisions
Strong communicator: clear and direct in writing, composed and credible in executive and customer-facing conversations
Organized and structured thinker with a bias toward simplicity — you build processes that teams actually use
Comfortable with ambiguity in a fast-paced environment; you create clarity rather than wait for it
