We are building a new Customer Success team and are hiring a Customer Success
Director to look after a portfolio of our commercial insurance customers through
a consistent, playbook-led motion. You will be the named contact for a larger
book of accounts, accountable for keeping them healthy and renewable at scale.
This is a one-to-few role for people who run a disciplined, repeatable Customer
Success motion and work with customers' operational owners
day to day, rather
than at C-suite level.
Working model & location: Hybrid (Flexible), London
About Sapiens
Sapiens International is a global provider of core software for the insurance
industry, serving Property & Casualty, Life & Pensions, and Reinsurance carriers
worldwide. Our Customer Success team keeps and grows our customers beyond
go-live.
What you will do
• Deliver Sapiens' Customer Success motion for your book in line with the
defined framework, playbooks, and tier coverage model.
• Be the named Customer Success Manager and maintain strong customer
relationships built on credibility, consistency, and value, from go-live
onward at a steady cadence.
• Own account health and product adoption across the book; track and report on
adoption, usage, and health metrics, and act early where an account starts to
slip.
• Run a consistent, standardised review cycle and build templated Customer
Success plans that connect each customer's business goals to the value they
get from Sapiens.
• Protect the retention floor: identify at-risk accounts early and orchestrate
and mediate escalation resolution by pulling in the right internal
stakeholders.
• Orchestrate Sales, Support, Delivery, Product, and Enablement so the customer
experiences one coordinated relationship, coordinating training and resources
as needed.
• Identify expansion (cross-sell and upsell) opportunities aligned to the
customer's strategy and pass them to Sales to progress. You own the signal,
not the sale.
• Use AI-assisted monitoring and standard health triggers to run a larger book
efficiently.
Scope
You own the customer's success and growth from point of sale onward. You do not
carry a sales quota or close deals, run support tickets, or run implementation
projects – Sales, Support, and Delivery own those. You protect retention, flag
expansion, and escalate on the customer's behalf.
What you will bring (essential)
* 5+ years in a customer-facing role (Customer Success, account management,
consulting, or customer support) managing a portfolio of accounts, including
relationship management and issue resolution.
• A track record of building Customer Success plans and delivering measurable
retention and account-health outcomes (e.g. gross retention, NPS).
• Experience running a consistent, playbook-led Customer Success motion across
many accounts at once.
• Strong communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills, with the
ability to influence, negotiate, and challenge stakeholders.
• Commercial and business acumen – able to understand and speak to customers'
business drivers.
• Strong prioritisation and reporting skills; able to synthesise and
communicate key insights.
• Able to work autonomously with ownership and accountability, with a
design-thinking, root-cause approach to problem-solving.
What you will bring (desirable)
• Insurance domain experience (P&C, Life & Pensions, or Reinsurance), or
enterprise software serving insurers.
• Familiarity with core insurance platforms (policy administration, claims, or
billing).
• Working within a born-in-the-cloud or cloud native software company.
• Experience with Customer Success tooling and AI-assisted health monitoring.
Sapiens is an equal opportunity employer. We value diversity and strive to
create an inclusive work environment that embraces individuals from diverse
backgrounds.
