We are building a new Customer Success team and are hiring an SVP of Customer Success to run Customer Success in the UK. This is a player-coach role: you will lead the team and be accountable for the region's retention and growth, while personally carrying a small book of our most strategic accounts. You will keep your region running to one global standard and stay hands-on enough to model it.

Carry your own book Personally own a small book of the region's most strategic accounts – staying hands-on at C-suite level and modelling the standard you set for the team. Scope You lead the regional Customer Success team and carry a personal account book. Your team owns customers' success and growth – not their contracts, tickets, or implementation projects, which sit with Sales, Support, and Delivery.

What you will bring (desirable) • Insurance domain experience (P&C, Life & Pensions, or Reinsurance), or enterprise software serving insurers. • Experience hiring and scaling a Customer Success team within a defined coverage and capacity model. • Knowledge of Sapiens' product suite (e.g. IDIT, TIA, AdvantageGo) or comparable core insurance platforms (policy administration, claims, or billing). • Change-management or transformation experience – executing at scale and adapting to obstacles. • Experience with cloud-native or SaaS delivery and managed solutions.
