The EMEA Director of Customer Success will be responsible for building a world-class customer success organization that delivers exceptional value to our customers throughout their entire EDITED platform journey.

This includes a demonstrated ability to enable the creation and implementation of a repeatable, scalable customer journey that drives predictability in retention, expansion and customer advocacy. Additionally, experience in building and leading high-performing customer success teams, fostering a data-driven culture, and effectively managing resources to optimize efficiency and scalability are crucial. The ability to navigate complex organizational structures, influence cross-functional stakeholders, and secure executive buy-in is also essential for success in this high-growth environment.

• Direct experience managing both technical/delivery talent and commercially-oriented account management talent under one team.

• Ability to navigate complex organizational structures, influence cross-functional stakeholders (Product, Sales, Finance), and secure executive buy-in.

• Strong relationship-building skills, internally and with senior client stakeholders.

• Ability to move fluidly between tactical, day-to-day account issues and longer-term strategic planning.
