Introduction
We are representing an international SaaS business with a strong European footprint that is looking to appoint a senior leader for its Enterprise Customer Success organisation.
This is a key commercial leadership hire based in Munich, focused on some of the company’s most important and complex customer relationships across Europe. The role combines team leadership, enterprise customer engagement, retention ownership, and cross-functional influence in a business where customer value, trust, and long-term partnership genuinely matter.
The role’s primary focus is to drive retention outcomes for the enterprise portfolio in Europe as well as supporting the drive for expansion back into the sales team plus supporting upsell and cross sell opportunities.
For the right person, this is a chance to step into a visible leadership role and help shape how enterprise customer success is delivered at scale across Europe.
The Role
