Job Description

About the Role

At enterprise scale, client services is no longer a support function; it is a growth engine, a retention driver, and a strategic differentiator. We are seeking a Senior Vice President of Client Services to lead the global client services organization for a complex, technology-driven enterprise serving large, sophisticated customers across industries and regions.

This role is designed for an executive who understands how to translate long-term client relationships into sustained revenue, expansion, and advocacy.

As a core member of the executive leadership team, the SVP will shape how the organization partners with clients at scale, aligning service delivery, customer success, and account management into a unified operating model. This leader will work closely with Sales, Product, Technology, and Operations to ensure that client commitments are met with excellence and that feedback from the market informs product strategy and innovation.

This is not a maintenance role. It is a mandate to build, modernize, and scale a world-class client services organization that drives retention, expansion, and enterprise-level trust.

  • Strong understanding of enterprise customer dynamics, complex contracts, and long-term account management.

  • Demonstrated ability to drive retention, expansion, and client lifetime value at scale.

  • Customer-centric mindset balanced with commercial rigor.

  • Highly collaborative leader who aligns cross-functional teams around client outcomes.

  • Decisive, resilient, and comfortable operating in complex, high-stakes environments.

  • Exceptional communicator with strong negotiation and relationship-management skills.


Strategic Support

  • Serve as a core member of the executive leadership team, advising on client strategy and growth priorities.

  • Support enterprise planning, forecasting, and revenue expansion initiatives.

  • Partner with Product and Engineering to influence innovation and service differentiation.
