Director, Customer Success

We believe conversations will become the #1 way to shop. At Gorgias, we’re building the platform that makes this real: a unified AI agent that sells, supports, and re-engages customers across the entire journey. Conversational Commerce is the future of ecommerce, and we’re leading that shift. Our mission is to turn every interaction between a brand and its customers into a relationship: personal, seamless, and intelligent. By combining deep product expertise with the latest in AI, we’re making shopping feel more natural, human, and connected than ever before. To win, we focus relentlessly on: - Quality: conversations that feel authentic and on-brand. - Experience: effortless shopping from chat to checkout. - Re-engagement: personal, 1-1 dialogue instead of noisy marketing. The opportunity is massive. As AI reshapes how people buy, Gorgias is building the foundation for the next decade of ecommerce, where every brand has its own intelligent agent and every customer feels understood. Join us to make Conversational Commerce real. ABOUT THE TEAM Customer Success at Gorgias covers our Commercial and Enterprise merchants and sits at the center of a fundamental redesign of what CS means in an AI-native company. We're rebuilding the org from the ground up around a simple premise: AI agents handle high-volume execution, and humans own outcomes, judgment, and commercial depth. This isn't an incremental evolution of a support function: it's the construction of a new operating model where AI is the primary delivery engine. We've already proven pieces of this model in our Enterprise segment. Now we need a leader to take that vision across the function: architecting a CS organization where AI does the heavy lifting and humans focus on the relationships, judgment calls, and commercial outcomes that AI can't own. As Head of CSM, you are responsible for delivering value at scale in the age of AI: pushing the boundaries to automate as much as possible to deliver the best experience for our merchants. ABOUT THE ROLE As Director, Customer Success, you'll own the full post-sale journey for Gorgias's Commercial and Enterprise merchants, with direct accountability for Net Revenue Retention (NRR) across that book. SMB is mainly product-led growth and only needs light oversight from this role. You'll lead the CS organization end-to-end: 2 CS Managers report directly to you, one leading Commercial and one leading Enterprise, and the CSMs covering our few named accounts also report directly to you. This is an architect role as much as a leadership role. You're not inheriting a finished org chart: you're building the next generation of Customer Success at Gorgias, where AI agents handle high-volume execution and your managers and CSMs bring strategic depth, commercial judgment, and the human relationships AI can't replace. You'll report directly to the COO, with the scope and budget to (re)build the CS org from the ground up. WHAT YOU'LL DO ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERSHIP - Own the CS org chart across Commercial and Enterprise: 2 CS Managers plus the named-account CSMs, setting structure, span of control, and hiring plans as the org scales with AI-driven leverage - Directly coach and develop your CS Managers, holding them accountable for the performance, growth, and output of their teams - Set org-wide OKRs across Commercial and Enterprise, translating company strategy into segment-specific execution plans - Own the CS budget end-to-end (headcount, tooling, and program spend), making the tradeoffs between human capacity and AI investment - Build the performance management and career framework for CSMs and managers across both segments - Create a culture of genuine accountability and high standards across the org, including making difficult performance decisions when needed COMMERCIAL & ENTERPRISE OUTCOMES & NRR - Own NRR across Commercial and Enterprise, with segment-specific strategies rather than a one-size-fits-all playbook - Ensure your managers and their…
