[Hiring] Director of Customer Success @Compyl

Role Description

We're looking for a Director of Customer Success to build and lead the next evolution of Customer Success at Compyl. This is a foundational, high-ownership role with the opportunity to design the processes, playbooks, metrics, and team that will turn CS into a scalable, revenue-driving function. You'll build a repeatable expansion motion that helps grow NRR and customer lifetime value.

We're looking for a true zero-to-one builder, someone comfortable with ambiguity who can move seamlessly between designing the strategy, digging into customer data, joining an executive escalation, and running a renewal conversation.

• Build the Customer Success function from scratch: define the strategy, structure, and operating model that will scale with the business.
• Own customer retention and growth, improve GRR by strengthening adoption, proactively managing risk, and reducing churn, while building a disciplined expansion motion that drives NRR and customer lifetime value.
• Design and implement customer segmentation, health scoring, and a proactive engagement model to replace today's reactive, ad hoc approach.
• Establish onboarding, adoption, and renewal playbooks that create a consistent, scalable customer experience.
• Personally manage a portfolio of strategic accounts in the early stages, serving as a trusted advisor and escalation point.
• Select and implement CS tooling (e.g., a customer success platform) to bring visibility and rigor to account health and forecasting.
• Partner closely with Sales on account handoffs, expansion opportunities, and renewal forecasting; partner with Product on feedback loops and roadmap input.
• Define and report on core CS metrics (GRR, NRR, churn, customer sentiment and advocacy, expansion revenue) to executive leadership, shaping the right measurement framework as the function matures.
• Hire, build, and lead a Customer Success team as the function matures and scales.
• Represent the voice of the customer internally, influencing product, marketing, and company strategy.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated experience building or scaling a Customer Success function from an early stage.
• Comprehensive experience in Customer Success, Account Management, or a related revenue-facing role in B2B SaaS.
• Track record of driving measurable improvements in net revenue retention, renewals, and expansion revenue.
• Comfortable owning both strategy and execution.
• Experience evaluating, selecting, and implementing CS and CRM tooling.
• Strong analytical skills, able to define metrics, build reporting, and use data to drive decisions.
• Experience in GRC SaaS preferred; candidates from adjacent SaaS categories also welcome.
• Excellent executive presence and communication skills.
• Self-starter who thrives in ambiguity and startup environments.

Benefits

• Base Salary: $170,000 to $200,000
• Performance-based bonus structure tied to retention and expansion metrics
• Meaningful equity in a fast-growing company
• Ground-floor opportunity to build and define a function that becomes core to company revenue
• Remote-first culture with flexible PTO
• Access to a highly supportive, execution-focused leadership team
• A team that values collaboration, accountability, and transparency
