Requirements
Skills
- Proven experience leading and building programmatic, digital success, lifecycle, or PLG motions at significant scale with direct ownership of an adoption or activation outcome
- Track record of building scalable systems and programs, not just managing existing ones; started from a blank page
- Strong cross‑functional instincts—comfortable writing briefs that other teams execute against, resolving handoff ambiguity, influencing roadmaps without direct authority
- Data‑driven approach to decision‑making, including experience designing experiments that distinguish real behavior change from activity metrics
- Experience managing and developing teams
- Experience spanning more than one of: digital/PLG, partner ecosystems, lifecycle marketing, or scaled CS
- Hands‑on familiarity with AI‑powered workflows or automation as a force multiplier for a small team
- Background working at a fast‑growing technology company where the playbook was still being written
- Experience with tiered coverage models and designing the handoffs between high‑touch and low‑touch
Responsibilities
- Define the customer journey and moments that matter along the journey that lead to daily usage of Claude in a way that delivers outcomes for Claude users
- Define and own the programmatic CS strategy: how we tier accounts, what motion each tier receives, and how customers move between them as their needs evolve
- Design and ship digital success programs, including lifecycle communications, in‑product nudges and self‑serve onboarding in a way that drives activation and habitual usage without human‑touch coverage
- Build and run AI‑powered engagement plays that extend the team's reach; work with Product to clarify what this team builds versus what lives in the product itself
- Set the quality bar and requirements for partner‑led activation, and maintain a tight feedback loop with our Partnerships team who owns the partner ecosystem
- Establish the metrics framework for programmatic success: define what "activated" means at each tier, identify leading indicators, and build the instrumentation to track them
- Run a rigorous experimentation program to understand which motions actually change customer behavior
- Hire and lead a small, high‑leverage team while bringing cross‑functional partners along on the vision and the operating model
