Full Job Description
LeanData helps the world's fastest-growing companies automate, simplify, and accelerate revenue. We're hiring a Senior Director of Customer Success to lead, evolve, and scale our Mid-Market CS organization. Reporting to the Chief Customer Officer, you'll own end-to-end customer success strategy — segmentation, engagement models, and success planning — while playing a central role in shaping the customer experience at scale.
You'll also be at the forefront of how we apply AI: building an agentic CS motion that drives real focus, efficiency, and customer impact. This means reinventing how a high-performing team operates, not just automating what already exists.
In close partnership with Sales, Product, Professional Services, and Support, you'll ensure customers achieve measurable outcomes — directly driving gross and net revenue retention. This is a rare opportunity to build durable foundations for scale at a company that sits at the heart of the modern revenue stack.
