Who We Are

Notion is the collaborative AI workspace where teams and agents think together. We're building one place where your knowledge, projects, meetings, and AI tools live side by side, so work is faster, clearer, and less fragmented. Millions of individuals, small teams, and large companies run their work on Notion.

Notinos (our employees) are customer zero in bringing this future of work to life. We care about craft, building things that last, and the belief that great work is still fundamentally human. Our goal isn’t to ship the next feature. Each and every team of Notinos is working to set the standard for how humans work together in the AI era. From building a business’s system of record to making and managing AI agents to automating away the busy work, we care deeply about giving our customers more time for their life’s work.

About The Role

We're looking for a customer-focused, results-oriented leader to oversee Customer Success across APAC at Notion. You'll report to the Global Head of Customer Success and lead experienced teams that help customers get the most out of Notion through effective adoption and expansion.

  • Drive Operational Excellence: Build and refine a consistent KPI/OKR system to enable data-driven decisions. Monitor customer health metrics to identify risks and opportunities for proactive intervention.

  • Business Impact: Drive best in class retention and expansion across a multi-million dollar book of business

  • Process Optimization: Use customer success management platforms and tools to streamline processes and improve team efficiency

A Note on AI

You don’t need deep AI expertise for every role, but we do expect every Notino to be intellectually curious, drawn to tinkering and discovery, and excited to use AI as a real collaborator in their work. For some roles, AI fluency is a core requirement — when that’s the case, we'll say so explicitly in the qualifications. People who thrive here don’t treat AI as a novelty. They use it to think better, and make their work easier for others to build on.
