What might your days look like

We're a team of global innovators, who cherish diverse perspectives that fuel our mission; to simplify the world of work for SMBs worldwide.

At Employment Hero, delivering value to our customers is at the heart of everything we do — and we’re looking for a Customer Success Team Lead to help us elevate that even further.

This role is a key part of our customer strategy, responsible for scaling and empowering our UK Customer Success team while ensuring our customers are supported, satisfied, and achieving their goals through our HR and payroll platform. Reporting to the Head of Customer Experience, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping how we build long-term customer relationships, drive product adoption, and champion customer outcomes.

Working closely with teams across Sales, Product, Support, and Marketing, you’ll lead strategic initiatives that increase retention, improve satisfaction scores, and deepen customer engagement. You’ll bring a strong people-first mindset, balancing leadership and coaching with hands-on execution, and you’ll thrive in a fast-moving environment where change is constant — and exciting.

The ideal candidate will have experience growing and developing high-performing teams, be comfortable leading from the front, and know how to use data to make impactful decisions. If you’re passionate about customer success, SaaS, and building meaningful connections, we’d love to hear from you.

As our Customer Success Lead, you'll be:

• Leading and inspiring a high-performing Customer Success team, fostering a culture of engagement, development, and accountability.
• Designing and executing strategic plans to drive customer satisfaction, retention, and advocacy.
• Analysing customer feedback and usage data to continuously improve service delivery and inform product enhancements.
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to optimise the customer journey from onboarding through to renewal and expansion.
• Acting as a strong voice of the customer internally, ensuring their needs are heard and addressed at all stages of the product lifecycle.
• Implementing scalable processes, playbooks, and best practices to support our growing customer base.
• Staying on top of customer success trends, tools, and frameworks to help us stay ahead of the curve.
  

What will you bring

• A proven background in customer success, account management, or client services, ideally within SaaS or HR/payroll technology.
• Leadership experience with a strong track record of coaching, mentoring, and scaling teams.
• The ability to think strategically while executing tactically — you’ll thrive in both planning and doing.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills, with a genuine passion for helping customers succeed.
• A data-driven mindset and strong problem-solving skills to drive continuous improvement.
• A commitment to creating meaningful, valuable customer experiences that deliver real results.
