Key Candidate Characteristics

A sense of passion for the consumer and the product.


First and foremost, your VP of Customer Success should have a true passion for customers, customer success, and the product you are selling.

It will quickly become extremely obvious to customers if there is an executive who isn't 100% on board with a company's mission, vision, goals, and success metrics.

Competent at overcoming client issues.


As a VP of Customer Success, you will have to deal with plenty of customer issues, both planned and unplanned.

Together with the executive representative from Client Success (typically a c-level position), the VP of Customer Success is responsible for ensuring positive, mutually beneficial interactions between clients and an internal team.

If these engagements turn sour, that should be the VP of Customer Success' time to really shine.

Experience working with multiple departments.

Customer experience as a function isn't reserved solely for Customer Success Managers or those people on a services team.

Experiences happen at every single customer touchpoint, starting with sales and marketing through onboarding and training and even to finance and accounting.

The VP of Customer Success should have experience working with multiple departments across an organization to ensure that every single department – no matter how 'removed' they are from customers – are aware of and dedicated to the goals of the customer experience team.

A creative approach to problem-solving.

Many times, the issues facing a VP of Customer Success aren't going to be cut-and-dry.

Executives from client organizations, product owners, CSMs, and even internal executives will likely be involved and will be trying to give their two cents for every problem that arises.

One of the biggest assets a VP of Customer Success should have is the ability to hear everyone's opinions while making a clear, focused decision that doesn't lean too far in one direction.

A leading candidate should be creative, thoughtful, and able to juggle multiple opinions without getting overwhelmed.
