Our customers rely on our products every day, and our Customer Success and Renewals teams play a key role in helping them get value, stay engaged, and continue their partnership with us.

We’re now looking for a Performance Lead - Customer Success & Renewals to help our teams continue moving from a more reactive, ticket-based way of working to a more proactive, outcome-led and commercially confident approach.

This is a hands-on coaching and enablement role.

You won’t be line managing the team. Instead, you’ll be visible with our Customer Success Managers and Renewals Specialists, helping people understand what good looks like, improve customer conversations, build confidence, and turn the right behaviours into everyday habits.

You’ll work closely with managers, leaders, and Learning & Development to help make performance improvement practical, clear, and consistent.

Why This Role Matters Great Customer Success is about more than answering queries or closing tickets.

It is about understanding what the customer is trying to achieve, helping them get value from our products, spotting risk early, building strong relationships, and supporting retention and renewal.

That shift takes coaching, consistency, and reinforcement.

That’s where you come in.

You’ll help our teams build the confidence, skills, and commercial awareness needed to have better customer conversations and drive better outcomes.

The next, you might be helping a Renewals Specialist build confidence around a commercial discussion, supporting a new starter with their ramp plan, or working with a manager to reinforce consistent expectations across their team.

You might listen to calls, review CRM activity, look at performance trends, share best practice, or coach someone through how to handle a difficult customer situation.

Your focus will include:

Coaching Customer Success and Renewals colleagues
