Senior Director, Customer Success

Overview

Customer.io is looking for a Senior Director to lead our Customer Success organization, responsible for driving adoption, delivering value, and ensuring customer retention.

Job Description

Customer.io powers automated communication that people actually want to receive. We help teams send smarter, more relevant messages using real-time behavioral data.

Responsibilities

  • - Own NRR, retention, and onboarding outcomes across the Customer Success organization β€” setting the metrics, managing to them, and holding the team accountable.
  • - Build and scale CS through AI, automation, and systems thinking β€” designing programs that serve more customers efficiently without simply adding headcount.
  • - Own relationships with our largest, most strategic accounts β€” leading executive QBRs, onsite meetings, and C-level conversations that connect product capabilities to clear business outcomes.
  • - Step in directly when needed to stabilize or expand key accounts, navigating complex organizations and aligning multiple stakeholders.
  • - Design and evolve engagement models across customer segments β€” from one-to-many digital programs for SMB and mid-market to high-touch enterprise partnerships.
  • - Hire, coach, and develop CS managers and ICs into a high-performing, customer-obsessed team.
  • - Partner with Sales, Product, Engineering, and Marketing to close feedback loops and ensure customers are getting continuous value from our platform.

Required Skills

  • - 10+ years in Customer Success or related customer-facing roles, with at least 5 years in senior leadership (Director/Senior Director).
  • - Proven track record driving NRR, retention, and adoption outcomes at a B2B SaaS company, ideally supporting both mid-market and enterprise customers.
  • - Hands-on experience with AI and automation in a CS context β€” not just an awareness of the tools, but a builder's instinct for how to apply them.
  • - Strong executive presence; equally comfortable in internal strategy conversations with the CRO and in C-level customer meetings.
  • - Demonstrated ability to scale CS programs β€” from digital, one-to-many engagement to tailored executive business reviews.
  • - Experience managing and expanding strategic customer accounts, including driving adoption, deepening executive relationships, identifying growth opportunities, and delivering measurable business outcomes.
  • - Strong operational acumen β€” able to bring structure, metrics, and process without sacrificing agility.
  • - A collaborative leader who welcomes debate, challenges assumptions, and thrives in a fast-moving environment.

Benefits

  • - 100% coverage of medical, dental, vision, mental health, and supplemental insurance premiums for you and your family.
  • - 16 weeks paid parental leave.
  • - Unlimited PTO.
  • - Stipends for remote work and wellness.
  • - A professional development budget.
