What you’ll be doing...

As the Director of Customer Success and Retail Channel Communications, you'll create and own the channel communications strategy for both Retail and Customer Success. This is a senior, strategic role: you'll architect the future-state operating model, set the standard for how we reach the frontline, and represent the function to SVP-level partners across the business. 

Drawing on prior experience in both sales and service, this leader will build an AI-first strategy to integrate Retail and CS into one coherent support model, reducing duplication across the channels, while preserving what each channel genuinely needs.

You'll lead through others and be accountable for how well the field is equipped, informed, and ready to delight our customers.

• Owning the end-to-end communications and enablement strategy for Retail and Customer Success .

• Executing a unified operating model across Retail and CS that eliminates duplicate efforts while supporting channel-specific workflows.

• Partnering with the Director, Planning and Content and Channel Comms leadership and GTC readiness teams to ensure alignment on all multichannel comms packages, reinforcements and sales tools. 

• Leading a ground-up rebuild of the CS comms and enablement model, aligned to executive vision and AI-enabled ways of working.

• Setting the standard and operating rhythm for how work reaches the frontline — consistent, timed to land and built for the audience.

• Partnering directly with SVP- and VP-level channel leaders as the accountable voice for the function.

• Building and developing a team of leaders and individual contributors; grow capability and bench.

• Champion measurement and continuous improvement — move from anecdotal to data-driven decisions.
