At GWI we’re always looking for extraordinary people who thrive on making an extraordinary impact. Right now we’re looking for a VP, Customer Success to lead the strategy and execution of retention and expansion across our Enterprise, Majors and Mid-Market customers globally. Understand their distinct risk profiles, buying behaviors, and points of leverage—with a dedicated Customer Success Leader for each segment (Enterprise, Majors, and Mid-Market) reporting directly to you.
Reporting directly to our CRO, you'll run the coverage model, forecasting rigor and leadership bench that make renewals and expansion a predictable driver of growth. This is a hands-on leadership role, not a transformation project. You'll inherit strong teams and real client relationships, and you'll own the performance, coaching and development of your Senior Directors and their teams – from our largest, highest-touch enterprise accounts through to segmented majors and mid-market books of business.
Sounds great, what will I be doing?
What you'll be responsible for:
- GRR & NRR targets across Enterprise, Majors and Mid-Market, agreed directly with the CRO.
- The Senior Directors of Customer Success leading each segment – you own their performance, development and progression, plus the wider CSM population beneath them.
- Lifecycle optimisation and community engagement. Execute high-impact initiatives—from onboarding through to user communities—that directly protect renewals and accelerate NRR growth.
- Escalation for your highest-value enterprise clients. You're the senior point of contact and trusted advisor on our data and methodology.
- Drive high-impact programs and initiatives—including customer onboarding and user community engagement—that directly optimize the customer lifecycle, maximize renewal rates, and expand Net Retention Rate (NRR).
It’s also fun; shaking things up is what working for GWI is all about. You’ll need to be flexible, comfortable with continuous change, and working in a high-tempo environment.

What do I need to bring with me?
We're looking for significant experience of progressive Customer Success or Account Management leadership, with proven ownership of renewals and expansion for a segmented book of business. You won't tick every box, but you'll have the judgement to run your segments with autonomy from day one. Here's what we need:
👉 Segmentation and coverage strategy
- Design for the segment, not a single playbook. Build distinct coverage models for Enterprise/Majors (high-touch, high-value, low-volume) and Mid-Market (higher-volume, target-list-driven). Match team structure, cadence and tooling to each.
- Own the numbers. Forecast and report gross and net revenue retention, expansion revenue and health scores – feeding straight into the CRO's view of the business.
👉 Team leadership and talent
- Develop the Customer Success Managers. Invest in their growth deliberately – clear delegation, stretch ownership, and coaching that build them toward their next role.
- Build a bench. Hire, coach and retain CSMs and managers who can run their book with autonomy. Fast ramp time, strong retention. Build progression routes across the CS organisation – CSM to manager, segment to segment – so strong performers see a future at GWI, and you're not rebuilding capability from scratch every time the business grows.
- Build on the skills that drive retention. Develop your team's ability to hold a consultative, insight-led conversation with teams that span revenue, marketing research, creative and PR/Comms stakeholders. Cross-functional influence.
- Represent the voice of the customer at the leadership table. Partner with Product, Marketing and RevOps so renewal risk, expansion signal and client feedback actively shape roadmap, packaging and go-to-market.
- Build the infrastructure to scale without linear headcount growth. Evaluate and drive adoption of the CS tech stack to help drive efficient, scalable growth.
👉 Executive presence
- Operate credibly with senior audiences on both sides of the table. Be the escalation point for your largest clients' senior stakeholders, and a clear, data-backed voice into the CRO and Executive Team on segment performance and risk.
