Customer Success Director

Reporting directly to the CEO, this is a senior, hands-on Customer Success Director role owning the most strategic UK customer relationships end to end. The remit covers the full post-sale lifecycle: co-authoring digital workplace roadmaps with client SLTs, running a regular QBR cadence with C-suite stakeholders, driving feature adoption, and collaborating with the sales and consulting teams to identify expansion and renewal opportunities.

The successful candidate will be as comfortable demoing the product to a Head of Communications as co-authoring a digital workplace roadmap with a CIO, and will thrive in a methodical, ruthlessly organised team where 95% renewal YoY and 80% feature adoption across 80% of the customer's organisation are the bar.

Key responsibilities

• Own and evolve a digital workplace roadmap with the senior leadership team of each named account
• Run a quarterly QBR cadence with Head of Communications, Head of HR, Head of Marketing, Head of Operations, CIO and CEO contacts
• Monitor product telemetry at a regular cadence and initiate work to optimise utilisation through paid work, the consulting team or the customer success agent
• Identify expansion opportunities and loop in the sales team to close new scopes of work and product opportunities
• Socialise product use and commercial value to senior stakeholders
• Manage all customer activity diligently in Salesforce
• Stay on top of Microsoft 365 and internal product roadmap, and translate new features into adoption opportunities for clients
• Develop more junior client success professionals

Essential experience

• In-depth understanding of the full capabilities of SharePoint Modern, OneDrive, Microsoft Teams, Power Platform and Copilot
• 8 to 15 years in a customer-facing role (Customer Success, Client Services, or post-sale Account Director scope)
• Background at a Microsoft Systems Integrator or a third-party Microsoft 365 product vendor (direct Microsoft hires are not in scope for this search)
• Experience with private sector and FTSE250 clients
• Comfortable engaging C-suite stakeholders at decision-maker and influencer level
• Commercial mindset with a demonstrable track record of identifying renewal and expansion opportunities
• Comfortable demoing software and positioning solutions on business value rather than features

Key performance indicators

• 80% feature utilisation across a minimum of 80% of the customer's organisation
• At a minimum, quarterly conversation with Head of Communications, Head of HR, Head of Marketing, CIO, Head of Operations and CEO contacts
• 100% QBR meeting execution
• 95% contract renewal year on year

What is on offer

• £120,000 base + £20,000 bonus on attainment of targets, plus package
• Hybrid working: London / M25, with regular in-person customer meetings
• Direct line into the CEO and real visibility at the top of the business
• Significant scope to shape an established yet evolving CS function inside a profitable founder-led ISV at an inflection point
