  • Take executive ownership of major customer escalations, ensuring rapid resolution, clear communication, and proactive risk management.
  • Develop a high-performing leadership team through clear expectations, accountability, forecasting disciplines, and operational rigor that turns commitments into results.
  • Partner across the business to bring customer insight into product, commercial, and market strategies while strengthening Blackbaud’s leadership position in the social impact sector.

What you'll bring

  • 12 + years of progressive leadership experience in Customer Success, account management, recurring revenue operations, advancement services, or a related discipline.
  • Significant experience serving nonprofit, foundation, faith-based, or arts and cultural organizations, or direct leadership experience within those sectors.
  • Demonstrated success owning retention, expansion, transactional or payments revenue, and other measurable commercial outcomes.
  • Expertise in customer segmentation, account planning, forecasting, product adoption, customer risk management, and organizational transformation.
  • Experience using AI, predictive analytics, automation, and data-driven operating models to improve customer engagement, retention, and business performance.
  • Proven ability to lead senior leaders, manage complex customer escalations, and communicate effectively with executive stakeholders and boards.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
