Are you ready to join us?

This is a genuine build role. Statista EMEA has a committed and capable Customer Success team, but the regional function has operated without dedicated leadership. You will be the first Head of Customer Success EMEA — and you will shape what effective CS leadership and execution look like for the region, working within Statista’s global strategy and policies.

Your mandate is twofold: protect and strengthen GRR across our KAM and Scale segments in 2026, while building and embedding the EMEA CS operating model that will support NRR growth from 2027 onwards. You will report directly to the VP Sales EMEA, sit on the EMEA commercial leadership team, and work closely with global leaders to align regional execution with Statista’s broader CS strategy and standards.

We are building the Bow Tie — a full‑lifecycle commercial model running from Acquire through Land, Onboard, Impact, and Expand. CS is the engine of the right side of that model.

• Installed a health‑scoring, segmentation, and early‑warning system that gives us clear sight of renewal risk across the base.

• Built and embedded a Q  framework and onboarding playbook that CSMs operate consistently.

• Improved GRR through structured adoption, value‑realisation, and intervention motions.

• Created a use‑case and outcomes library that makes renewal conversations easy and expansion conversations natural.

• Defined the 2027 CS investment case — particularly Scale segment coverage and the NRR growth model.

• Design and install the EMEA CS operating model: coverage criteria, account segmentation, Q  framework, health scoring, and onboarding playbook.

• Adapt, embed, and ope rationalise the Onboard → Impact → Expand motion for EMEA, implementing the regional model in Salesforce in alignment with global standards.

• Build the use‑case and outcomes library — the evidence base that makes renewals easy and expansion natural.

• Define coverage economics — which accounts receive active CS support, at what intensity, and why.

• Partner with the VP Sales EMEA on the 2027 NRR growth strategy, including the Scale segment CS investment decision.

• Own the EMEA renewal and churn‑prevention motion across KAM and Scale segments.

• Build an early‑warning system for at‑risk accounts — signals, escalation paths, and intervention playbooks.

• Partner with KAM and Scale AMs to ensure seamless handoffs and joined‑up client coverage.

• Drive platform adoption and value realisation — the foundation of every renewal conversation.

• Drive NRR outcomes across your segment by strengthening renewal readiness and surfacing expansion opportunities. Renewals are the floor; expansion is the ceiling.

• Identify expansion signals within the existing base and create structured handoffs to KAM and Scale AEs.

• Champion the full platform — Statista core, Statista Connect, and Statista+ — in every client conversation.

• Own the leadership, coaching, and performance management of the EMEA CSM team.

• Build a coaching standard grounded in outcomes, value realisation, and consultative client engagement.

• Develop the team’s ability to run structured discovery, surface latent needs, and connect Statista’s platform to client business…
