Why Join Ivo?

Contracts are the oldest business technology in human history. They allow us to collaborate: they define what we promise each other, how we work together, and what happens when things go wrong.

Ivo builds AI products that helps companies like Meta, Uber, IBM, Intel, DoorDash, Mitsubishi Electric, and Coinbase solve their most difficult contracting problems. We think that large language models have created an opportunity to fundamentally change how businesses collaborate with each other.

At Ivo you will work on challenging problems with colleagues who have high standards for each other, move fast, and care deeply about their craft.

The Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced and visionary Head of Customer Success to build and lead our customer success function. This role represents a critical investment in ensuring our customers achieve extraordinary outcomes with Ivo.

 

This is a leadership role for a builder. You will design and scale the systems, processes, and team that drive user adoption of Ivo, ensuring that users are as obsessed with Ivo as we are. You'll own the full customer success motion across our enterprise and mid-market segments, leading a team of world-class CSMs dedicated to making every user successful.

What You'll Do

• Build and Lead the Team: You will recruit, develop, and lead a high-performing team of Customer Success Managers. You'll establish the culture, standards, and expectations that define what world-class customer success looks like at Ivo, creating an environment where CSMs can do their best work while growing their careers.

• Design the Customer Success Machine: You will build the processes, playbooks, and systems that drive consistent, scalable customer outcomes. This includes onboarding frameworks, health scoring methodologies, business review cadences, and escalation protocols—creating repeatable motions that work across both enterprise and mid-market segments.

• Drive User Adoption: User adoption is the north star for customer success at Ivo. You will own the strategies, playbooks, and metrics that drive deep, sustained product usage across customer organizations. This means understanding what drives individual users to adopt Ivo and create programs that turn occasional users into power users. You'll measure success through active usage rates, feature adoption, and time-to-value. You’ll design a customer experience that ensures that every customer, no matter the size, realizes the full potential of our platform through widespread adoption across their teams, departments, and regions.

• Own Retention: You will be accountable for logo retention and ensuring customers renew. You'll partner closely with the account management team to support renewals and ensure customers see Ivo as an indispensable part of their operations.

• Be the Voice of the Customer: This is a cross-functional role and you will work closely with the product team in particular. You will serve as the primary advocate for customer needs within Ivo. Working hand-in-hand with Product, Marketing, and Engineering, you'll translate customer feedback and patterns into product improvements, content, and go-to-market strategies that strengthen our market position.

• Establish Operational Excellence: You will build the analytics and reporting infrastructure to measure customer health, predict risk, and demonstrate the impact of customer success investments. You'll create visibility into your team's performance and continuously iterate to improve outcomes.

What You'll Bring

• 7+ years of experience in customer success, account management, or related roles within B2B SaaS, with at least 3 years leading and scaling customer success teams.

• Experience building or significantly growing a CS function and can demonstrate a deep experience what it takes to go from good to great.

• You have a demonstrated track record of success with enterprise customers (companies with 10,000+ employees). You understand the complexity of navigating and delivering success to large organizations and you know how to drive adoption and value across sprawling customer environments.

• You're energized by the chance to shape something from the ground up.

• You can work with a blank slate and turn learnings into repeatable, scalable processes.

• Demonstrated data-driven approach to your work, using metrics to inform decisions and demonstrate impact.

• You're a skilled communicator who can build relationships at every level—from frontline users to C-suite executives, both with customers and internally. 

• You would describe yourself as relentlessly resourceful. You have a bias toward action, a strong internal sense of urgency, and the resilience to navigate complexity while maintaining momentum.

• The ideal candidate will have experience in Customer Success positions at large, SaaS  B2B companies. Experience working with legal tech or working with legal professionals is a bonus. 

• Familiarity with AI/ML products and the ability to articulate technical concepts to non-technical audiences is highly valuable.

Ivo might be a good fit for you if you:

• Would describe yourself as being relentlessly resourceful.

• You have a strong internal sense of urgency. You have a bias towards doing things today, rather than tomorrow.
