Who we’re looking for
Dot Compliance is hiring a Director of Customer Success to lead our North America CS team and build
the global enterprise customer success strategy alongside the international director of CS. You will lead
the teams that cover our North America enterprise and mid-market customers, personally own a small
set of our largest and most strategic Pharma, MedTech and Biotech relationships, and build out a team
of senior strategic CSMs.
One of your first jobs will be to work with CS Leadership to define what strategic customer success looks
like at Dot, becoming the model for our teams globally. That includes how CS works alongside our
Professional Services team during implementation, so we understand each customer's value drivers well
before go-live and they see business outcomes early. Once a team or site is live, you own the
relationship through adoption, renewal and growth. You will do this hand in hand with Sales, aligning on
account plans, pipeline, and expansion from day one so customers see one Dot team.
This is a commercial role. And your first priority is the team: developing your managers and CSMs and
driving results through them. You will be accountable for the North America customer success book of
business, leading your team’s renewals, including multi-year terms and pricing and working closely with
sales on expansion. You will also personally own your own book of business. We want someone who
builds lasting relationships with VP and C-level leaders in Quality and IT, likes being in front of
customers, and uses data and AI to work more efficiently and give the team more time with customers.
What you'll do

• Lead and mentor the North America CS team including managers and individuals, raising the bar
on executive communications and commercial skills
• Build out a high-caliber team and set clear coverage across strategic, enterprise, and mid-market
accounts
• Build the enterprise model with CS Leadership: define the strategic CSM role, develop the
playbooks that support it and decide which customers get strategic coverage
• Partner with Sales leadership to work together on strategic accounts from account planning and

• Use AI and data to give the team time back for customers, from account research and meeting
prep to early risk and growth signals
• Bring the customer voice back into Dot, including formal design partnerships that shape the
product roadmap
• Partner with the EMEA leadership team so strategic accounts are serviced the same in every
region
Lead our most strategic accounts
• Personally own a small set of our largest and most strategic accounts, as both executive sponsor
and day-to-day lead
• Build relationships across Quality, IT and the business, from day-to-day users up to VP and C-
level
• Build account plans & success plans around each customer's own goals and set up joint
governance with their leadership
• Act as the first escalation point for at-risk strategic accounts and lead the plan to turn them
around
Own renewals and growth
• Own gross and net retention for the full North America book across strategic, enterprise and
mid-market accounts, and lead your team’s renewals including multi-year terms and pricing
• Partner with Sales to grow accounts across sites, products and new modules, and stay involved
through close
• Forecast renewals and risk accurately across strategic, enterprise and mid-market accounts and
give leadership an honest read on the health of the book
Do you have what we’re looking for?

large multi-region accounts within global organizations

• Proven ability to build trust with VP and C-Level leaders at Top-100 life sciences organizations
• A track record of owning renewals and growth for large, multi-site accounts, including
negotiating multi-year deals and pricing
• Experience helping build or reshape a CS program, not only running one that already existed
• A player-coach who still wants to own customers personally while building a team

Services, Sales, and Support.
• Practical, hands-on use of AI and data in how you and your team work
