Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Head of Customer Success to lead and scale our customer success function. This leader will be responsible for driving adoption, satisfaction, retention, and expansion across our customer base. You will partner closely with Sales, Product, and Operations to ensure our customers maximize value from Slip Robotics’ solutions and become long-term advocates.

The ideal candidate combines deep operational experience with a strategic mindset. You have built and scaled customer success frameworks, excel at managing complex deployments, and thrive at the intersection of product, operations, and customer outcomes.

• Leadership & Strategy

• Define and execute the customer success strategy aligned with Slip Robotics’ growth goals.
• Own NRR as the north star metric for Customer Success, driving expansion opportunities while ensuring strong gross retention.
• Build and lead a high-performing Customer Success team.
• Establish KPIs, processes, and tools to drive scalable impact.
• Customer Journey Ownership
• Oversee the full post-sales lifecycle: onboarding, deployment, training, adoption, support, renewal, and most importantly, expansions.
• Develop repeatable frameworks for seamless customer onboarding and rapid time-to-value, including scalable playbooks for onboarding, QBRs, health scoring, and churn-risk management, replacing one-off heroics with structured, repeatable processes.
• Create advocacy programs that foster case studies, referrals, and strong NPS/CSAT performance.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration
• Act as a trusted counterweight to Operations—partnering to prioritize customer-impactful fixes, avoiding blame, and packaging these stories for executive and board-level communication.
• Partner with Product to translate customer insights into roadmap priorities.
• Collaborate with Sales to ensure smooth handoffs and identify expansion opportunities.
• Work with Operations to guarantee reliable deployments and operational excellence.
• Customer Advocacy & Growth
• Navigate difficult customer conversations with diplomacy, balancing advocacy with realism.
• Build trust even when delivering tough messages by framing them in terms of long-term partnership and reliability gains.
• Build deep, trusted relationships with customer stakeholders (from operators to executives).
• Serve as a customer advocate internally, ensuring their voice informs decisions.
• Drive expansion opportunities by demonstrating business value.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in Customer Success, Product Operations, or related functions, ideally in robotics, automation, or deep-tech environments.
• Strong financial acumen; able to evaluate customer requests through a business-value lens (must-have vs nice-to-have) and partner with Sales/Finance on expansion cases.
• Proven team player who collaborates with transparency, shares credit generously, and takes accountability; recognized as a culture carrier who elevates team success over personal wins.
• Proven track record of building customer success functions and scaling teams in fast-paced growth companies.
• Strong operational and program management skills, with the ability to align cross-functional teams.
• Experience managing complex deployments and training programs.
• Data-driven decision-maker; comfortable using metrics to drive strategy and measure impact.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills; able to engage with executive stakeholders and technical teams alike.
• Passion for robotics, innovation, and delivering outstanding customer experiences.

• Competitive compensation package, including equity.
• Opportunity to shape the future of robotics automation with a rapidly scaling startup.
• A culture of collaboration, innovation, and impact.
• Flexible working environment.
