Establish and track team KPIs, including adoption, retention, customer health scores, and satisfaction metrics

Recruit, develop, and retain top CS talent, building a pipeline of promotion-ready professionals

Serve as an escalation point for complex customer issues and strategic accounts

Identify systemic gaps or inefficiencies in how the CS team operates, and design and implement the scalable frameworks, playbooks, and processes that address them across the broader organization

Act as a resource and thought partner to peer managers and CS leadership, contributing a practitioner's perspective to broader CS strategy and driving cross-functional initiatives with Sales, Product, Support, and Implementation

Represent AbsenceSoft externally through customer events, advisory boards, industry forums, or other thought leadership opportunities

Analyze customer data and feedback to surface insights that inform CS strategy, and partner with leadership to identify opportunities for expanding customer value through upsell and cross-sell

Help maintain applicable organizational security and compliance controls within your department, role, and your team's roles

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

Bachelor's degree in Business, HR, or a related field, or equivalent experience

7+ years of experience in customer success, account management, or a related field, including 3-4 years in a people leadership role

Demonstrated experience building or improving CS processes, playbooks, or frameworks, with a talent for bringing structure to ambiguous challenges

A strong track record of recruiting, developing, and retaining high-performing CS talent, with clear paths for growth

Proven ability to operate independently and lead initiatives with minimal direction, thinking beyond your own team to what the broader organization needs

Strong analytical skills, with the ability to interpret data and translate it into actionable improvements

Excellent communication and relationship-building skills across internal teams, leadership, and external stakeholders, with the ability to influence without relying on positional authority

Experience in HR technology, leave management, or a compliance-focused SaaS environment is a strong plus, as is familiarity with CRM and CS platforms such as Salesforce, Gainsight, or HubSpot

A track record of contributing to CS strategy, cross-functional leadership initiatives, or external customer engagement such as events, advisory boards, or thought leadership is a plus
