This senior leadership role offers the opportunity to shape how Lightcast sustains long-term client relationships, turns insights into measurable impact, and drives growth in a competitive data marketplace.
As a key member of the go-to-market organization, the SVP will not only scale a high-performing team but also serve as the diagnostician of client health—analyzing adoption patterns, identifying risks before they materialize, and prescribing strategies that ensure renewal, expansion, and gross revenue retention (GRR) across global segments.

- Embed AI enablement into client success programs, ensuring clients maximize adoption of AI-driven insights and internal Client Success teams are enabled with AI-driven tools.
- Build a segmented service delivery model that adapts onboarding, adoption, and retention strategies across enterprise, government, and education markets, ensuring scalable yet tailored engagement.
- Develop and scale programs that ensure clients fully realize value from Lightcast solutions, measured by ROI, adoption rates, and strategic impact.
- Collaborate on a Client Advisory Board in partnership with Product and Marketing to gather actionable feedback and strengthen market alignment.
- Partner cross-functionally with Product, Marketing, and Sales to embed client insights into roadmap priorities, solution positioning, and enablement strategies.
- Diagnose and address value gaps—where adoption lags or ROI is unclear—by re-anchoring engagement to outcomes that matter to executives and end-users.
- Lead, coach, and scale a global client success team of 50+, fostering a culture of accountability, ownership, and continuous improvement.
- Establish account health frameworks, renewal playbooks, and proactive risk identification models to ensure early intervention and client stability.
- Drive operational discipline in renewal forecasting, client engagement cadences, and success planning to deliver predictable outcomes.
- Partner with Sales to ensure seamless execution of renewals and expansions with clear role alignment.
- Build segmented and scalable frameworks for onboarding, adoption, and expansion readiness that can be applied across enterprise, education, and public sector segments.
- Collaborate with Partnerships to ensure joint solutions deliver value and support client retention.
- Serve as a key voice in enterprise-wide planning, bringing the client perspective into company strategy and decision-making.
- Champion a client-first culture across Lightcast by reinforcing that retention and long-term impact are shared responsibilities.
- Serve as an internal and external spokesperson for Lightcast’s commitment to client value, outcomes, AI-enabled service models, and partnership excellence.
Education and Experience:
- 6+ years of progressive leadership in client success, account management, or customer experience, including 3+ years in executive roles at a high-growth, B2B software or DaaS company.
- Preferred experience serving at least two of the following segments: enterprise, government, or education, with ability to adapt delivery models across these markets.
