Purpose:

The Customer Success & Implementation Director is responsible for leading, scaling, and aligning PPRO's global Customer Success and Implementation Management functions. Acting as a strategic operational leader and key partner to commercial and account management leadership, this role oversees the long-term operational health of our live client portfolio while accelerating the technical time-to-market for onboarding merchants.

Under your leadership, the department will execute two distinct remits:
Customer Success Managers (CSMs) will assume permanent operational account ownership to maximize client retention and satisfaction, while Implementation Managers (IMs) will deliver time-bound, results-oriented technical projects focused on minimizing delivery cycles and maximizing transactional volume ramp-up times.

• People Management: Direct, mentor, and coach a global team of managers and individual contributors across the Customer Success and Implementation disciplines, overseeing portfolio distribution, resource capacity, and individual performance.
• Escalation Ownership: Act as the primary senior escalation contact for the global portfolio, guiding the teams through complex day-to-day operational queries, integration blockers, and high-priority client incidents.
• Global-Local Alignment: Unify operations across multiple time zones (including EMEA, APAC, US, and LATAM), deploying standardized global playbooks and performance metrics while ensuring responsive regional execution.
• Process Scaling: Consistently identify, propose, and implement macro-level operational process improvements and internal technical automations to compress onboarding cycles, slash manual configuration efforts, and eliminate billing leakages.

• Lifecycle Ownership: Establish clear operational handoff frameworks that transition clients smoothly from pre-sales technical validation, into active implementation, and ultimately into steady-state account management.
• Time-Bound Project Delivery: Govern the Implementation Management framework to ensure integration delivery, go-live technical execution, and hypercare support are completed within strict target milestones.
• Volume Ramp-Up Optimization: Monitor and optimize time-to-activation metrics, ensuring newly boarded merchants efficiently scale their processing volumes to directly realize commercial targets.
• Revenue Protection:
