Description

The Mission

At Salesforce, our customers' success is our success. We are seeking a strategic, results-oriented leader to join our Customer Success Group as the Director of Customer Success Attrition Programs. This high-impact role is responsible for architecting and leading a proactive, cross-functional program designed to identify at-risk customers and drive targeted interventions that reduce churn and secure long-term loyalty.

You won't just be managing a list; you will be the architect of a global "save" infrastructure. You will unify disparate activities across the company into a cohesive strategy that scales to protect thousands of customers. You will be part of a central orchestration team, working with leaders across Analytics, Sales, and Customer Success to build a data-driven framework that saves our most valuable accounts.

If you are passionate about customer advocacy, skilled in navigating complex organizational structures, and have a proven track record of mitigating customer risk, this is the role for you.

Key Responsibilities

  • Program Architecture & Scale: Design and operationalize the global framework for proactive attrition programs. Move the needle from 1:1 saves to scalable, program-led interventions that can cover thousands of accounts simultaneously.

  • Predictive Intervention Strategy: Partner with Data Science and Analytics to identify cohorts of risk using data-driven signals.

  • Engagement Strategy: Define the scope, duration, and commercial structure for tailored interventions. You will determine the right mix of Success and Services resources needed to bring customers back to health.

  • Cross-Functional Governance: Establish and lead a cross-functional core team to

    drive alignment and execution. You will create a robust governance model for list review,

    engagement validation, and the documentation of findings for executive leadership.

  • Reporting & Analytics: Develop and manage a clear reporting framework to track

    program progress and demonstrate impact. You will regularly present findings, key

    metrics, and strategic recommendations to the senior leadership team.

  • Stakeholder Management: Serve as the primary point of contact for this initiative,

    ensuring seamless collaboration and communication between CSMs, AEs, Services, and other key partners.

  • Building scalable solutions: Create feedback loops to help continuously long term offers geared towards scalable success for the customers

    experience developing successful retention strategies. Direct experience managing

    at-risk accounts or leading "red account" programs is highly desirable.

  • Commercial Skills: Proven ability to define engagement scope, structure contracts, and
