Overview: As a Customer Success Director at Knit, you own a book of business that you are expected to retain and grow. Some of your clients hold an upfront annual commitment, others engage with us project by project, many are enterprise clients, and others are PE firms or mid market accounts. You will be measured on the revenue you protect and the revenue you create: gross revenue retention, net revenue retention, logo retention, depth of program (the number of distinct use cases activated across the account), and the strength of your relationship with the economic buyer. That work is a commercial job done through research and product credibility. Our clients are insights leaders, and they buy from people who understand their world. You will be expected to speak fluently about methodology, design, and analysis. Equal to that is your command of the Knit platform itself. We ship quickly, and your clients will look to you as the expert on what the product can do today and what is coming next.
