About SaaS Academy

The SaaS Academy Team is on a mission to help Software as a Service (SaaS) companies grow to new heights through world-class coaching and training.

Our CEO, Johnny Page, is a seasoned B2B SaaS executive who has led companies to remarkable success, notably growing Silvertrac from $30k MRR to $225k MRR and orchestrating its acquisition for 7.8x ARR. He now dedicates his expertise to helping ambitious B2B SaaS founders achieve their perfect exit.

About the Role

As the Director of Customer Success at SaaS Academy, you will be the architect of our customer journey, pivotal in driving satisfaction, loyalty, and long-term relationships across all three programs. This strategic leadership role is not just about managing customer experience—it's about inspiring a high-performing team that embodies our commitment to excellence and driving cross-department collaboration. By leveraging data-driven insights, you will identify growth opportunities and enhance client interactions, all while aligning with our organizational vision to achieve exceptional results for our founders and SaaS Academy.

Key Responsibilities
  1. Crafting a Customer Journey that Drives Retention and Success

    In this role, you will own the overall customer experience, engagement, and retention across our programs. You will execute established playbooks and create and manage a Voice of the Customer program to gather client feedback, reviews, testimonials, and case studies. Additionally, you will review and enhance the coaching model while collaborating with program teams to boost client engagement and adoption. Success will be measured through key performance indicators such as churn, retention rate, net revenue retention (NRR), Net Promoter Score (NPS), Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT), and Customer Effort Score (CES).

  2. Operational Scalability for Systems and Processes

    You will play a pivotal role in standardizing the client journey and processes while developing specific performance metrics and health scoring metrics to gauge success. Leading, managing, and mentoring the Customer Success team will be key, fostering collaboration across departments to ensure cohesive strategies. Metrics for success in this area will include customer health scores, adoption rates, Time to First Value (TTFV), onboarding time, and support resolution rates.

  3. Strategic Leadership and Departmental Alignment

    As a member of the Senior Leadership Team (SLT), you will enhance collaboration and alignment across all departments—Sales, Marketing, Program Operations, People, Events, and Finance—to drive customer insights and improve overall customer satisfaction. You'll ensure effective change management by communicating priorities, hiring strategically, delegating tasks efficiently, and inspecting results to ensure alignment with goals. Your responsibilities will include developing a clear departmental vision, managing talent effectively, ensuring financial stewardship, and overseeing workflow process improvements that align with strategic initiatives.
