About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Manager of Customer Success to lead and expand a team of Customer Success Managers tasked with enhancing long-term customer retention and product adoption within Playground's expanding client base. This pivotal leadership position requires you to oversee the strategic direction, implementation, and daily operations of the Customer Success Management (CSM) team, ensuring that each center within Playground feels valued, realizes tangible benefits, and continues to evolve with us.

  • Drive Retention & Growth: Enhance net revenue retention and logo retention across the portfolio by coaching CSMs on renewal strategies and commercial dialogues.

  • Strategize & Execute: Collaborate with leadership to define and implement the customer success vision and roadmap, aligning with company objectives surrounding retention, adoption, and customer lifetime value.

  • Enhance the Customer Journey: Develop and optimize post-onboarding workflows, health scoring systems, and engagement rhythms to elevate consistency and proactive outreach as Playground grows.

  • Coach & Empower: Provide ongoing feedback, training, and performance assessments to ensure every CSM delivers a remarkable, consultative customer experience.

  • Evaluate Success: Monitor essential customer success KPIs, net revenue retention, NPS, health scores, feature adoption, time-to-value, and leverage data to inform decisions and enhancements.

  • Advocate for the Customer: Represent the voice of the customer in leadership discussions, championing their needs and ensuring Playground’s post-launch experience aligns with our mission and values.
