The impact

As Method's Head of Customer Success, you'll architect and execute the post-sales engine that drives Method's growth. Reporting directly to the CEO, you'll build world-class customer relationships while establishing the systems, processes, and teams that transform our high-growth fintech product into a predictable, scalable revenue driver.

You'll own the entire customer lifecycle, from signed contracts through onboarding, steady-state operations, renewal, and expansion. This isn't just a relationship role; it's an operational leadership position where your success is measured by Time-to-Value (TTV), Net Revenue Retention (NRR), and the efficiency of the CS organization you build.

Your influence extends far beyond traditional customer success. You'll shape product development by translating customer insights into actionable roadmap priorities, inform go-to-market strategy, and bridge the gap between customer needs and engineering execution.

This is a rare opportunity to define customer success at a company poised for significant growth- building both the high-touch relationships and the scalable infrastructure that will carry us through our next phase of evolution!
