How to Apply for Director of Client Success

at Scale To Win Inc

🏢 About Scale To Win Inc

Scale To Win Inc is a mission-driven SaaS company that empowers progressive political campaigns and advocacy organizations with cutting-edge technology. Working here means contributing to a platform that amplifies democratic engagement and social impact, with a remote-first culture that values autonomy and collaboration.

About This Role

As Director of Client Success, you'll shape the client experience by leading a team of Senior CSMs, optimizing infrastructure like health scoring and success plans, and directly managing strategic accounts. Your work will drive retention and expansion, directly impacting the company's growth and client advocacy.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start with a stand-up with your CSM team to review client health dashboards, then dive into designing a new mutual success plan template. After lunch, you'd have a strategic account call with a major campaign client, followed by analyzing churn data to refine risk flags. You'll end the day with a 1:1 coaching a Senior CSM on executive presentation skills.

🎯 Who Scale To Win Inc Is Looking For

  • A seasoned CS leader with 5+ years in SaaS, ideally with experience in political or advocacy tech, who understands the unique needs of campaign clients.
  • A hands-on manager who has scaled teams of 3+ and can mentor through active coaching, not just oversight.
  • A builder who has created or refined Mutual Success Plans, customer journey maps, and business review frameworks from scratch.
  • A data-driven strategist who uses product analytics and health metrics to proactively drive client outcomes and reduce churn.
