Your Mission: Architecting the Future of Customer Success

This is a pivotal moment for Filestage. We are evolving our commercial structure by separating Customer Success (adoption & outcomes) from Account Management (renewals & expansion). As our CS Team Lead, you will architect the Customer Success side of this transition. You'll act as a player-coach: leading by example with your own high-touch DACH portfolio while building operational standards the rest of the team will follow.

Key Responsibilities

Define the CS Operating System: In partnership with RevOps, refine the foundation for onboarding, enablement, and health-score management. Ensure the CS/AM handshake is seamless with no gaps, no double-touches, and clear ownership at every stage.
Standardize Value Delivery: Turn day-to-day execution into team-wide standards. Perfect the Value Narrative in QBRs, shorten Time-to-Value in onboarding, and enable champions within our largest accounts.
Proactively Manage Retention & Risk: Build systems to predict churn rather than react to it. Monitor health signals and run structured recovery plans to protect Gross Revenue Retention before it's ever at risk.
Cultivate a High-Performance Team: Lead weekly cadences including portfolio reviews, risk assessments, and enablement sessions. Coach CSMs toward a proactive, data-driven approach that prioritizes strategic conversations.
Drive Onboarding Excellence: Oversee customer onboarding processes, ensuring rapid Time-to-Value and strong adoption across accounts.
