Join the team as our next Regional Director, Customer Success Strategic Accounts on Twilio’s Managed Customer Success team.
Who we are & why we’re hiring
Twilio powers real-time business communications and data solutions that help companies and developers worldwide build better applications and customer experiences.
Although we're headquartered in San Francisco, we have presence throughout South America, Europe, Asia and Australia. We're on a journey to becoming a global company that actively opposes racism and all forms of oppression and bias. At Twilio, we support diversity, equity & inclusion wherever we do business.
About the job
At Segment, we believe companies should be able to send their data wherever they want, whenever they want, with no fuss. We make this easy with a single platform that collects, stores, filters, transforms, and sends data to hundreds of business tools with the flip of a switch. More recently, we also developed the ability to let customers enrich their data in real time using computations they specify. Our goal is to make it easy to understand, extract value, and protect the integrity of data. We are creating a world where engineers spend their time working on their core product, letting us take care of the complexities of processing their customer data reliably at scale. We’re in the running to take over the entire customer data ecosystem, and we need the best people to take the market.
The Customer Success Management team at Segment is the central touchpoint for our customers, orchestrating the post-sales customer lifecycle in partnership with professional services, sales and support. The team manages the customer relationship, coordinates internally within Segment, drives product adoption and guides the customer to take full advantage of our ecosystem. Fundamentally, the CSM team ensures customers derive value from our platform, and ultimately renew and grow their relationships with us.
As Regional Manager of Enterprise Customer Success, you will be responsible for building a high performing team, coaching each individual to achieve their goals, and acting as the point of escalation. Internally, you will build strong relationships within the broader success organization, and cross-functionally with sales, services, R&D and marketing. As someone with a demonstrated record of success, you will play a key role in refining our customer success operating model and go-to-market strategy for our customers.
This is a perfect role for someone with a strong strategic vision for customer success, and who loves to bring out the best in their team. You get to help customers realize the full value of Segment’s offerings in the face of complex challenges.
Responsibilities
In this role, you’ll:
- Lead a team of CSMs responsible for the day to day customer relationship and roadmap to success (driving product adoption and ongoing usage of Segment, while promoting customer satisfaction and advocacy).
- Act as the point of escalation for our customers, forming advisory relationships with our customer champions.
- Own the ultimate success of our Strategic customers, ensuring they realize the full value of the Segment platform.
- Manage regular forecast and health assessment reporting in Salesforce.com, as well as ad-hoc reporting as needed to manage and communicate risk.
- Ensure your team drives usage and engagement within their portfolio of accounts, partnering internally with services and sales to achieve high retention rates and identify expansion opportunities.
