The role you'll play:

First, some data on the growth of CB Insights. 

  • 2015 - 66 teammates
  • 2016 - 104 teammates
  • 2017 - 168 teammates
  • 2018 - 209 teammates
  • 2019 - 292
  • 2020 - 302
  • Today - 350+ and growing

Over that same period, our revenue has grown 800%. Underpinning this growth is the CB Insights Technology Intelligence platform, the vast market we have to capitalize on, and a great team with top talent across all levels. Additionally during the past 12 months while others have floundered, we have thrived - adding new datasets to our platform, two company acquisitions, key new products to facilitate better data ingestion for our customers, and growing the headcount of our customer success team (to keep up with customer demand).

Now, what we need is a senior leader to help develop and grow our top-notch talent and improve our already solid CS foundation.

The Senior Director, Customer Success will bring their skills to a high-functioning Customer Success team that ensures our customers achieve measurable outcomes through their engagement with CB Insights. With this person’s skills and contribution, we will take the team to the next level in creating value for our customers.  The Senior Director will lead a team of Customer Success Managers across a portfolio of 2-3 assigned verticals covering a global clientele of premier accounts.  They will lead cross-functional projects, collaborating with our Product, Research, and Marketing teams, all while engaging directly with customers. Performance will be based on specific metrics associated with revenue retention, customer software adoption, customer portfolio health, and employee engagement.  They will report directly to the VP of Customer Success.
