Description Summary:     

The Vice President of Customer Success is the senior leader responsible for the strategy, performance, and scale of M3's customer success organization. This role owns driving customer platform adoption, measurable business outcomes, retention, and long-term revenue growth across the existing customer base.

Reporting to the Chief Growth and Customer Officer, the VP develops organizational capability, aligns cross-functional execution, and ensures consistent delivery of value at scale.

The role also owns the Customer Success operating model, organizational design, processes, and technology ecosystem, continuously evolving the function to improve efficiency, scalability, and customer outcomes.
