First Due is looking for a dynamic, results-driven VP of Customer Success to lead and elevate the way we serve our customers across every segment and stage of their journey. This is a leadership role with full ownership of customer adoption, retention, expansion, and satisfaction — directly tied to company revenue growth.

You will build/enhance the systems, frameworks, and culture that define what "great" looks like for our customers and our CS organization. You will be a cross-functional partner to Product, Services, and Support, and a visible champion for the customer voice at the leadership table.

• Continuously identify, design, and refresh customer-facing processes that elevate the experience across all customer segments and every stage of the journey.
• Define and document the end-to-end customer journey, owning all phases of product adoption and value realization from onboarding through renewal and expansion.
