Reporting to the Chief Customer Officer, the Director of Customer Success is a player-coach leader responsible for building and scaling a high-performing Customer Success team at Profisee. You will directly manage a team of Customer Success Managers covering enterprise MDM accounts across North America, while owning the strategic programs, processes, and cross-functional relationships that drive retention, expansion, and customer-led growth.
This role sits at the intersection of customer outcomes, revenue, and organizational leadership - serving as the operational backbone of the post-sales customer journey and a key voice in Profisee's go-to-market strategy.

Objective #3: Business Impact Workshop (BIW) Program Leadership
Champion and operationalize the Business Impact Workshop program as a strategic differentiator in Profisee's post-sales motion, with the goal of connecting MDM adoption directly to the business outcomes customer executives care about.

- Use BIW outcomes to drive executive-level relationships (C-suite multithreading), reduce churn risk, and create a repeatable path from adoption to strategic alignment
- Track and report BIW program metrics, including: Mutual Customer Success Plans in place within 30 days of close, scorecard creation at project close, and downstream impact on NRR and CSQL generation
- Collaborate with Sales to leverage BIW outcomes in expansion conversations and positioning
Objective #4: Expansion & Revenue Growth
Partner with the Sales team to convert customer health and outcome data into pipeline, ensuring the CSM team is a meaningful source of qualified revenue growth.
- Inspire a team culture where CSMs are proactively identifying, nurturing, and formally qualifying expansion opportunities within their accounts
- Own CSQL targets for the team; ensure CSMs understand how to recognize and route qualified leads and that variable compensation reinforces this behavior
- Leverage BIW results, industry use cases, and Profisee thought leadership to equip CSMs with the narrative to position expansion opportunities credibly at the leadership level
- Collaborate with the cross functional leaders of Product, Presales, and Sales to develop or unblock account-level expansion plans for high-potential accounts
Objective #5: Operations, Tooling & Insights

- Continuously refine the team's playbooks, engagement templates, and segmentation model in partnership with the CCO
