Description

Datarails is transforming how finance teams operate by bringing together data, automation, and AI into a unified platform for modern FP&A. We empower finance leaders to move faster, reduce risk, and make better decisions - without leaving the tools they already trust.

As we enter our next phase of growth, we are evolving Customer Success into a strategic function that not only supports retention and expansion, but also shapes how customers adopt AI and data-driven workflows across the finance organization.

We are looking for a Vice President of Customer Success to lead and elevate our global Customer Success organization. This leader will drive customer outcomes, retention, and expansion while helping define how finance teams adopt AI-enabled workflows within FP&A.

This role requires a strategic operator who understands technology and data at a business level - without needing to be deeply technical - and who is excited to help customers navigate the shift toward AI-powered finance.

You will partner closely with the Chief Customer Officer and cross-functional leaders across Product, Sales, Marketing and Operations to ensure customers are realizing measurable value and that Customer Success is a true growth engine for the business.
