What we do

At Civis, we take a science-first approach to solving problems. With a blend of proprietary technology and statistical advisory services, we help public and private sector organizations find, understand and connect with the people they care about, so they can stop guessing and start using mathematical proof to guide decisions. We know others use “data science” and “analytics” as buzzwords, but at Civis we don’t stand for fluff, and we will always deliver scalable products and technologies — not PowerPoints — to drive your business forward. Learn more about Civis at www.civisanalytics.com.

What we are looking for

We are looking for a Director of Client Success who will set the vision for the team, directly supervise our Client Success teams’ work and mentor them for career growth. Our Client Success team oversees the lifecycle of our client’s interactions with our software, from onboarding to steady-state, and as a leader on this team you will be responsible for managing this experience in a metric- and data-driven manner. 

Our Client Success department includes three integrated teams: Solution Architecture, Client Outcomes, and Technical Support. They are responsible for implementing, configuring and managing the delivery of Civis Analytics’ data science software to ensure successful user adoption and high organizational impact, and maintaining the balance between the reactive support of client tickets and proactive, technically-specialized support. They also support software sales, leading demos, POCs, and scoping complex software deliveries as a part of ‘team sport’ sales business development efforts.

The Director of Client Success works closely with cross-functional teams across the company - including Applied Data Science, Engineering, Product, and Sales - to optimize client outcomes from software delivery. The Director of Client Success reports to the Managing Director of Public Sector.

    • Refining operational metrics for team and Customer Health.
    • Hiring and onboarding the best client success talent.
  • Managing and coaching to ensure delivery of high-quality work and effective sales support, including:
    • Ensuring successful delivery, onboarding, and support of users onto Civis software to help achieve our clients’ business goals through the usage of Civis technology.
    • Optimizing delivery processes for the Client Success team, including customer onboarding, training, user adoption, and user retention.
  • Joining high-profile client engagements and sales opportunities as a trusted and credible technical expert.
  • Engaging with Product as a partner in ensuring Civis’ product experiences, and holistic client lifecycle management programs are achieving our clients’ business goals.

Qualifications

  • BA/BS degree or equivalent practical experience.
  • 7-10 years experience in software implementation and client success, including those implemented at enterprise-scale organizations.
  • 7-10 years of client management experience.
  • Coach, mentor and develop team members, including providing career development planning and opportunities.
  • Provide oversight and direction to your team in accordance with the organization's policies and procedures.
  • Experience with SQL, ETL workflows, and data solutions.
  • Technically capable with log data analysis, and basic navigation inside a unix/linux environment.
  • Experience with ticketing systems such as Zendesk or Salesforce including administration, reporting, and process setting.
  • Proven track record of driving projects to successful completion, on time and on budget.
  • US work authorization required.
