About this Role:

The Director of Customer Operations will be the strategic and technical backbone of the Customer Organization, responsible for driving operational excellence, efficiency, and scale across the entire customer journey. This role directly manages the systems, data, processes, and programs that enable our Customer Success Managers (CSMs) to maximize customer value and drive advocacy. The ideal candidate is a process architect, a Gainsight expert, and a hands-on data analyst.

What You'll Be Working On:

You will lead the strategy and execution across four critical operational verticals:

1. Incident Management & Global Coverage

• 24/7 Incident Strategy: Design, implement, and manage a robust, cross-functional incident management process to ensure full coverage across all time zones for high-priority customer issues.

• SLA Enforcement: Drive accountability for service level adherence (SLAs) within CS and across internal partner teams (e.g., Engineering, NOC).

• Post-Mortem Process: Establish a consistent review and follow-up process for major incidents, ensuring lessons learned are integrated back into training and documentation.

2. Customer Lifecycle Management

• Journey Ownership: Own the operational design and continuous improvement of the core customer journey, from onboarding and ongoing value realization to renewals and offboarding.

• Program Development: Formalize playbooks and automation for critical CS touchpoints, including training, Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs), and exit interviews.

• Gainsight Expertise: Serve as the primary administrator and strategic owner of the Gainsight platform, ensuring it accurately reflects customer health, drives automation, and provides actionable insights to CSMs.

3. Customer Enablement and Adoption

• Content Strategy: Partner with Product and Marketing teams to define the enablement roadmap, ensuring customers have timely access to the resources needed for maximum adoption and usage.

• Training Programs: Implement and track customer-facing training and enablement adoptions (e.g., certifications, knowledge base usage).

• Efficacy Measurement: Develop metrics (e.g., content usage, time-to-value, decreased support tickets) to prove the ROI of customer enablement initiatives.

4. Reporting, Tooling, and Data Focus

• Business Analyst Role: Act as the lead Business Analyst for Customer Success, deeply evaluating the current tool stack (e.g., Salesforce, Gainsight, BI tools) and recommending tooling and automation solutions to improve CSM efficiency.

• Data Integrity & KPIs: Define and manage core Customer Success KPIs (e.g., Net Revenue Retention, Churn, Customer Lifetime Value, Health Score). Ensure data accuracy across all platforms.

• Advocacy Tooling: Design and deploy systems and processes for customer reference programs, testimonials, and case studies, specifically by implementing tooling for the customer to drive advocacy and maximize the pool of satisfied promoters.

What You'll Bring to the Team:

• 10+ years of experience in Customer Experience, Cloud Operations, or Support leadership, ideally in IaaS, AI infrastructure, or enterprise cloud environments.

• Proven track record building or scaling Customer Operations / Incident Management organizations in a fast-growth technical setting.

• Strong technical fluency in cloud platforms (GPU, compute, networking, storage) and ability to collaborate effectively with Engineering and SRE teams.

• Excellent communication and storytelling skills — capable of translating complex operational data into clear insights for executive audiences.

• Build and scale the global Customer Operations organization, including Incident Management, Customer Lifecycle, Education, and Analytics.

• Partner closely with Engineering and Cloud Availability teams to improve incident response, reporting, and post-incident learnings.

• Own IM processes and align with IM playbooks to reduce MTTR and elevate customer communication.
