  • Reporting & Impact: Drive a clear reporting framework to track program progress, attrition risk mitigation impact, influenced attrition savings and customer health scores.

  • Executive Presence: Regularly present findings, key metrics, and strategic recommendations to senior leadership.

What You’ll Bring

  • Experience: 7+ years of proven experience in Customer Success, Renewals, or Retention-focused roles within an enterprise SaaS environment.

  • Program Leadership: Demonstrated ability to build and scale large-scale, cross-functional programs and influence results without direct authority.

  • Domain Expertise: Deep understanding of the drivers of customer attrition and direct experience managing at-risk or "red account" programs.

  • Analytical Acumen: Strong analytical mindset with the ability to partner with data science teams to turn complex datasets into actionable strategies.

  • Commercial Skills: Proven ability to understand the commercial aspects of customer rescue missions and performance management of funnels

  • Technical Familiarity: Hands-on experience with the Salesforce platform and ecosystem is preferred.

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree required; MBA or equivalent advanced degree preferred.
