Customer Success Director, Market Research

A little about us…

Knit is the AI-native consumer research platform helping brands automate and accelerate primary research. With our Researcher-Driven AI, we’ve condensed the entire quant + qual research process from weeks into days (sometimes hours!) for 50+ enterprise brands — including Amazon, T-Mobile, Mars, NASCAR, and more. We’re on a mission to scale and democratize world-class research. From survey generation to stakeholder-ready reports, our platform is redefining how insights teams operate — and we need your help to push the limits of what’s possible.

As a Customer Success Director at Knit, you’ll be the driving force behind our customers’ success — leading onboarding, driving adoption, and ensuring long-term value realization from the Knit platform. Your day‑to‑day will flex based on the customer’s size, complexity, and strategic importance, offering opportunities for both full ownership and close partnership with teammates.

The Customer Success function is central to Knit’s growth and retention strategy, and your work will directly drive customer renewals, increase product usage across multiple research use cases, and deepen stakeholder relationships through strategic, high‑touch engagement. You’ll identify and capture expansion opportunities, contribute to revenue growth, and help close the feedback loop between customers and internal teams — influencing product direction and enhancing the overall customer experience.

This is a highly cross‑functional role, requiring close collaboration with Sales, Research, and Product to ensure each customer achieves measurable success with Knit.

Work across a portfolio that includes both strategic and growth‑stage accounts. For some customers, you’ll serve as the primary point of contact, owning the full post‑sale lifecycle — from onboarding and enablement to renewals and commercial conversations. For others, particularly our most strategic partners, you’ll collaborate closely with a Client Partner, providing deep product expertise and platform support while they lead the broader relationship and commercial strategy.

Primary responsibilities of this role:

• Own and manage the full post‑sale customer lifecycle — including onboarding, implementation, enablement, and success planning — to drive long‑term value realization and customer retention
• Lead onboarding and platform setup for new customers to ensure a smooth, goal‑oriented launch that accelerates time‑to‑value
• Deliver live and asynchronous platform training and enablement (e.g., walkthroughs, guides, and demos) to increase user adoption across multiple research workflows
• Monitor credit usage and use cases activated to proactively identify gaps and unlock new use cases, driving deeper engagement and account growth
• Provide responsive, high‑context product support to resolve customer issues efficiently and maintain satisfaction throughout the relationship
• Build and maintain trusted relationships with key stakeholders to increase influence, ensure alignment on goals, and strengthen account health
• Collaborate with Client Partners and internal stakeholders on strategic accounts to surface usage insights, remove blockers, and support high‑impact success plans
• Lead or support commercial conversations (renewals, pricing, contract negotiation) to secure continued partnerships and drive predictable revenue retention
• Identify and execute expansion and upsell opportunities in collaboration with Sales, Research, and Product — contributing directly to net revenue growth
• Host Partnership Briefs or success check‑ins to align on customer objectives, report on usage trends, and guide roadmap adoption
• Create and maintain enablement resources and scalable success content to support customer self‑service and improve onboarding efficiency
• Advocate for customer needs and feedback internally to inform product roadmap decisions, influence feature development, and enhance customer outcomes
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with Research, Product, and Sales teams to deliver a unified, high‑impact customer experience
• Represent Knit as a strategic partner and trusted advisor — consistently…
