About WRITER
WRITER is where the world’s leading enterprises orchestrate AI-powered work. Our vision is to expand human capacity through superintelligence. And we’re proving it’s possible – through powerful, trustworthy AI that unites IT and business teams together to unlock enterprise-wide transformation. With WRITER’s end-to-end platform, hundreds of companies like Mars, Marriott, Uber, and Vanguard are building and deploying AI agents that are grounded in their company’s data and fueled by WRITER’s enterprise-grade LLMs. Valued at $1.9B and backed by industry-leading investors including Premji Invest, Radical Ventures, and ICONIQ Growth, WRITER is rapidly cementing its position as the leader in enterprise generative AI.
Founded in 2020 with office hubs in San Francisco, New York City, Seattle, Austin, Chicago, and London, our team thinks big and moves fast, and we’re looking for smart, hardworking builders and scalers to join us on our journey to create a better future of work with AI.
About the role
Shape how the world’s most sophisticated enterprises succeed with AI.
As vice president, customer success, EMEA, you’ll lead the region’s customer success organization and partner directly with C-suite executives at Fortune 500 and Global 2000 companies to deliver measurable transformation—not proofs of concept, but lasting operational change. You’ll own retention and growth, scale a world-class team, and define how enterprises measure success in the agentic era. You’ll be a key member of WRITER’s EMEA leadership team and an active voice in the global CS leadership group, shaping strategy, structure, and culture across regions.
This is a builder’s role with global reach - reporting to our COO and working closely with the CEO and CRO to drive WRITER’s next stage of growth. This is a hybrid role based out of our London hub.
What you’ll do
- Drive industry leading growth and retention by owning ambitious NRR and GRR goals, tying every expansion to quantifiable business outcomes
- Lead, scale, and develop a high-performing CSM team across Strategic, Enterprise, and Mid-market segments—hiring exceptional talent and building clear career paths. Have a dotted line to other post sales organizations
- Design and operationalize a regional success model that becomes the global blueprint - playbooks, metrics, and governance that scale
- Build trusted partnerships with CIOs, CMOs, and business leaders at companies like Goldman Sachs, Accenture, and Hilton, positioning WRITER as mission-critical infrastructure
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Product, Marketing, and Solutions architecture to co-create account strategies that deliver measurable ROI
- Champion operational excellence through disciplined forecasting, success planning, and data-driven decision-making
- Represent the voice of the customer at the highest levels, influencing product direction and innovation
What you need
- 15+ years in enterprise SaaS or transformation-driven technology with deep experience leading Fortune 500/Global 2000 relationships
- 7+ years in senior CS or post-sales leadership, ideally across multi-country EMEA operations. In addition to CS management, ideally have also led Engagement managers, Customer architects, and Customer support either directly or indirectly
- Proven record-building and scaling CS organizations through inflection points - hypergrowth, global expansion, or IPO
- Fluent in enterprise AI adoption and governance, with a strong grasp of ROI frameworks and transformation programs
- A strategic and hands-on operator-able to alternate between vision and precision execution
- Executive presence and credibility to influence at C-suite level and coach at every level
- Enthusiasm to both drive strategy and prop leadership and “get in to the details” at the customer level to manage escalations and ensure delivery
