Head of Dedicated Customer Success - North America (East)
We’re looking for an experienced manager to provide strategic and operational leadership for our Dedicated Customer Success (dCS) teams that manage a portfolio of key mid-market (MM) and enterprise (ENT) customers across the eastern region of North America (NAMER).
As a CS leader based in New York, you will report to the Head of CS for NAMER and lead a fast-growing function responsible for driving change management and customer adoption, building champion relationships, and developing mission-critical workflows -- all to ensure customers are growing in a healthy way in line with the goals they have for Asana. You will lead and inspire fast-growing teams to help customers adopt Asana as both a product and a new way of work within their organizations.
Dedicated Customer Success Managers (dCSMs) act as trusted advisors to Asana’s most important customers and work in close partnership with Account Executives and other supporting roles to provide lifecycle management to high-value customers.
You must be a hands-on leader who enjoys leading from the front and getting into details while also being able to think and act strategically. A core priority is to be a leader for your team, acting as a mentor and a coach who is able to guide team members through challenging situations and help them keep customer engagements on track. You'll do this all while keeping pace with rapid organizational growth and in coordination with global teams.
Your direct reports will be responsible for all of high-value customers across the eastern region of NAMER, and you will partner with the Head of dCS NAMER West and other CS Leads to co-create regional playbooks that will be shared and utilized across our global customer base.
You will drive a vision to make Asana’s Customer Success experiences a sustained competitive differentiator in the market and ensure Asana becomes the work management tool of choice for some of the largest and most impactful companies in the world.
