The Opportunity
As Head of Customer Success (ANZ), this is a senior leadership role with full ownership of Customer Success across the region, at a point where the function needs to evolve from relationship-led to commercially driven, scalable, and data-led.
You will own Net Revenue Retention (NRR) as the core metric—driving retention while building a disciplined, repeatable motion for cross-sell and up-sell across the existing customer base.
Alongside delivering commercial outcomes, you will lead a full transformation of Customer Success; introducing structured frameworks, early churn prediction, and the operating rhythm required to support continued regional growth.
This is a player-coach role. You will lead the team while personally owning key strategic accounts, operating as a senior commercial partner to customer leadership and setting the standard for how Customer Success shows up.
