Director of Customer Success

At LeadsOnline, we bridge the gap between technology and justice, empowering law enforcement agencies with cutting-edge solutions to close cases and serve their communities. This is a senior leadership role at the center of that mission: ensuring that every agency we serve-from a rural detective running a first search to a national program correlating ballistic evidence across borders-fully realizes the value of the tools they've invested in. Everything we do is grounded in our core values of Service, Energy, Ownership, and People, and we're looking for a leader who embodies them.

The Director of Customer Success owns the global post-sale customer relationship across our full product portfolio. You will lead a combined organization spanning our Intel Customer Success team and our Ballistics Customer Experience team, with both domestic and expanding international coverage. Your north star is retention: keeping our law enforcement partners active, adopted, and renewing-and expanding the relationships where we're delivering real investigative outcomes. This position is located in our Corporate Office in Plano, TX.

• Team: You will lead a multi-team organization of experienced Customer Success/Experience professionals, both directly and through team leads, with headcount expected to grow as global coverage expands.
• Portfolio: The full LeadsOnline platform along with our Ballistics product line. You are the single owner of the customer's post-sale experience across products-not a product-line silo.
• Geography: United States today, with an expanding international footprint. A core part of this role is building a repeatable international customer success motion, including hiring and integrating international team members over time.
• Reports to: Chief Customer Officer.

Your Mandate

This role carries a clear set of accountabilities:

• Retention first. Protecting and renewing the existing customer base is the primary charge. You own gross revenue retention as the organization's leading outcome, along with the adoption and engagement signals that predict it-product usage, active users, and sustained value realization.
• Growth and expansion. Beyond protecting the base, you'll drive net revenue retention through adoption-led expansion, cross-product growth, and re-engagement of lapsed or underutilized accounts, in close partnership with Sales and other functional teams.
• Customer experience and advocacy. You'll be accountable for customer satisfaction and advocacy (including NPS) and for a consistent, high standard of account health across both product lines.

Retention & Revenue Ownership

• Own retention as the organization's primary outcome; build the forecasting, at-risk-account tracking, and intervention playbooks that make retention a managed process rather than a quarter-end scramble.
• Treat re-engagement of lapsed or underutilized accounts as a deliberate part of the customer lifecycle, not an afterthought.
• Drive expansion through adoption and cross-product value, in partnership with Sales/Marketing/Product, without letting growth pull focus off the retention base.

Team Leadership & Development

• Lead, coach, and grow a two-sided organization-Customer Success/Experience-building a shared operating rhythm while respecting the genuinely different motions of a data-search product and a forensic-technology program.
• Recruit, onboard, and integrate international team members; establish coverage models, escalation paths, and enablement that work across time zones and languages.
• Set clear goals, standards, and accountability; build repeatable systems and processes rather than relying on individual heroics, so performance is durable as the team scales.
• Use a collaborative, pod-based model to coordinate customer success, training, and engagement resources around shared accounts.

Customer Journey, Onboarding & Adoption

• Own the end-to-end customer journey across both product lines-onboarding, activation, adoption, expansion, renewal, and re-engagement-and ensure new customers reach value quickly.
• Partner closely with Training to align enablement to journey stage and product, and to scale reach through partners and repeatable programs.
• Recognize product-specific adoption realities: our forensic-technology line depends on hands-on validation and peer reinforcement, while our data products depend on usage cadence and workflow embedding.

Customer Health, Data & Insights

• Own the customer health methodology and dashboards, applying consistent health scoring across product lines and maintaining the data discipline that leadership decisions depend on.
• Translate usage and health data into segment strategy-prioritizing high-value segments and surfacing risks early.
• Report retention, expansion, health, and satisfaction outcomes to senior leadership with a clear, data-grounded point of view.

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Serve as the voice of the customer in product and go-to-market planning, particularly through periods of platform and product evolution that affect onboarding and value delivery.
• Partner with Sales leadership on account handoffs, expansion, and account coverage models.
• Relay structured customer feedback to Product to help shape the roadmap across both product lines.

Function Strategy & Budget

• Set the strategy, objectives, budget, policies, and procedures for a global customer success function, and formalize consistent, documented processes across teams.

Qualifications

• Must be a US Citizen
• Bachelor's degree required
• 8+ years of experience in customer success, account management, or client services, with 5+ years leading teams-ideally including experience leading other leaders or multiple teams
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills; equally credible with a frontline team member and an agency executive.
• Alignment with our mission of serving law enforcement and the communities and victims they protect. Prior law enforcement experience/public safety, military, GovTech experience highly preferred.
• Demonstrated ownership of a retention and/or expansion number in a SaaS, subscription, or recurring-revenue business, with a track record of moving it.
• Experience building repeatable systems and processes at scale, not just managing individual relationships.
• Comfort operating across distinct product motions and, ideally, across international or multi-region customer bases.
• Strong data fluency: able to work from health, usage, and cohort data to set strategy and defend it to executives.
• Ability to travel periodically domestic and, over time, international travel to customers, events, and team locations
