About the Role

We are seeking an accomplished Executive Director, Client Success Operations to lead the operational excellence, performance, and development of our Client Success organization. This leader will manage and develop a team of up to eight Client Success Directors and Program Managers while establishing the systems, accountability, and operational rigor necessary to deliver exceptional client experiences profitably and consistently.

This role is responsible for driving the day-to-day health of the Client Success organization by ensuring projects are properly staffed, resources are allocated effectively, processes are consistently followed, and financial targets are achieved. The Executive Director will serve as the operational leader of the department, partnering closely with Finance, Creative, Strategy, Industrial Design, Engineering, and Executive Leadership to remove barriers, improve workflows, and create a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.

Rather than owning a large portfolio of client business, this individual will focus on strengthening the team behind the work. They will coach Client Success Directors and Program Managers, improve operational performance, employ strategic resourcing, ensure adoption of company processes and technology, monitor profitability, oversee forecasting accuracy, and proactively identify opportunities to improve execution across the organization.

Success in this role requires a decisive, operationally minded leader who is comfortable establishing expectations, making difficult decisions, driving accountability, and helping teams perform at their highest level.
