Permanent

Up to £120000 per annum

London

We are partnering with a high-growth technology business transforming the hospitality and entertainment sector through a fully integrated platform that combines software, hardware, and data-driven insights.

Their platform powers customer experience, operations, and revenue across venues, hospitality groups, and entertainment operators, delivering a seamless end-to-end solution.

As adoption accelerates, they are hiring a Customer Success Director to lead the global customer success function, ensuring clients realise maximum value from both the software platform and physical deployments.

You will own the entire post-sale lifecycle, including:

You will play a critical role in ensuring customers successfully adopt both the SaaS platform and integrated hardware solutions, driving measurable business outcomes.

  • Define and execute the global Customer Success strategy
  • Build scalable processes for onboarding, adoption, and account growth
  • Establish clear customer lifecycle frameworks and engagement models

Customer Retention & Growth

  • Identify expansion opportunities across multi-site hospitality and entertainment clients
  • Partner with sales to drive upsell and cross-sell initiatives

Onboarding & Implementation Excellence

  • Oversee seamless onboarding across both software and hardware deployments
  • Ensure efficient rollouts across complex, multi-site environments
  • Develop playbooks for implementation in hospitality venues (e.g. live environments with operational constraints)

Team Leadership & Scaling

  • Build and lead a high-performing Customer Success team (CSMs, onboarding specialists, support)
  • Implement performance frameworks, KPIs, and training programmes
  • Scale the function in line with international growth

Customer Experience & Advocacy

  • Act as the voice of the customer internally
  • Drive customer satisfaction, engagement, and advocacy programmes
  • Build case studies and reference accounts with leading hospitality brands

Cross-functional Collaboration

  • Work closely with Product, Engineering, and Commercial teams
  • Provide structured customer feedback to inform roadmap and innovation
  • Align with operations and hardware teams to ensure service reliability

What We’re Looking For

Experience

  • Proven experience leading Customer Success or Account Management functions in a SaaS business
  • Experience supporting products that combine software with hardware deployments (e.g. POS, IoT, devices, or physical infrastructure)
  • Strong experience in hospitality, leisure, or entertainment sectors preferred
  • Track record of improving retention and driving customer growth in multi-site or enterprise environments

Skillset

  • Strong commercial acumen with a clear understanding of revenue retention and expansion
  • Deep understanding of the customer lifecycle in SaaS environments
  • Experience managing complex implementations involving both digital and physical systems
  • Excellent leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills

Mindset

  • Customer-first and outcomes-focused
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, scaling environment
  • Hands-on leader who can move between strategy and execution
  • Passionate about improving real-world customer experiences through technology
