• Develop and Execute Strategy: Define and implement the team's strategy for customer engagement, retention, and expansion. Develop playbooks, set ambitious goals, and establish KPIs to measure success.

• Drive Commercial Outcomes: Own the team's forecast for renewals and expansion. Guide your team in identifying and executing on growth opportunities within their book of business.

• Serve as a Leadership-Level Advisor: Act as a point of escalation for critical customer issues and engage directly with executive stakeholders at key accounts to ensure long-term satisfaction and partnership.

• Champion Operational Excellence: Implement and refine processes for account planning, pipeline management, and reporting to ensure your team operates efficiently and effectively.

• Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Build strong partnerships with leaders in Sales, Product, Marketing, and Support to create a seamless customer journey and advocate for your team's needs.

• Be the Voice of the Customer: Synthesize feedback from your team and their customers to provide strategic insights to our Product and Go-To-Market leadership, influencing Front's overall direction.

What skills and experience do you need?

• 7+ years of experience in a customer-facing role such as Customer Success or Account Management preferably in a B2B SaaS environment.

• 2−3+ years of direct people management experience, with a proven track record of hiring, coaching, and developing talent.

• Preferred experience leading on multi-SKU and technical products

• Deep experience with forecasting, pipeline management, negotiation, and driving outcomes (renewals and upsells)

• Inspirational Leader: You know how to motivate a team and create an inclusive environment where people can do their best work.

• Strategic Thinker: You can see the big picture, translate company objectives into team strategy, and use data to drive decisions and measure results.

• Exceptional Communicator: Outstanding verbal and written communication skills. You can articulate a clear vision for your team and represent Front credibly to C-suite executives.

• Customer-Obsessed: A genuine passion for understanding customer needs and ensuring they achieve their business goals. You lead by example in building trusted-advisor relationships.
