Job Details

Vividly is the leading modern trade promotion management (TPM) solution built by and for the consumer packaged goods industry. From campaign creation to deductions management and promotion measurement, we help brands manage every element of trade spend. With our easy-to-use platform and industry-leading experience, we pride ourselves on our ability to bring businesses to the next level.

Not familiar with trade promotion spend? That's OK. Most people aren't. It's an $8 trillion dollar problem that is ripe for disruption by an innovative SaaS startup. In order togrow, consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands spend 20% of their topline revenue to get into retailers and promote their products within those retailers. The problem is that today 70% of those promotions are not ROI positive. This is because ROI is hard to track. The industry operates on emails, pdfs, and xls spreadsheets. At Vividly, we're solving this massive problem with exciting tactics including AI, Machine Learning, and Fintech and adding value to everyone in the chain. Some of our customers include brands you may use and love - Liquid Death, Amy's, and Laird Superfoods.

We are looking for a Vice President of Customer Experience to help us reach our goals!

The opportunity:

The VP of Customer Experience will be responsible for the full post-sale lifecycle, overseeing Customer Success, Implementation, Support, CX Operations and Managed Services (Deductions Management Service). This leader will drive customer retention, NRR growth, service efficiency, and customer advocacy - balancing automation and AI-led innovation with high-touch partnership for strategic accounts.

This role will be pivotal in transitioning Vividly's customer model as we move upmarket into mid-market and lower enterprise accounts, while simultaneously redefining our service approach for smaller customers (≤$50K ACV) through digital training and self-service enablement.

• Partner with Product and Sales to ensure customer feedback directly informs roadmap priorities and upsell strategy.
• Re-architect the post-sale customer journey to align with our Mid-Market ICP ($100M-$2B brands) and tiered support model.

Implementation & Onboarding

• Streamline implementation processes to maintain best-in-class time-to-value (avg. 6-8 weeks), even as deal sizes and complexity increase.
• Introduce scalable playbooks, milestone tracking, and project governance frameworks.
• Partner with Product to ensure onboarding automation and in-product guidance evolve in parallel with platform sophistication.

Support & Training

• Lead Support operations (Tier 1-3) to achieve high CSAT and rapid resolution times through automation, documentation, and AI-assist tools.
• Build out the Training function introduced in 2025 - creating scalable, high-quality digital learning experiences and integrating knowledge assets into AI systems for customer self-service.

Managed Services (Deduction Management Service)

• Drive profitability in DMS, balancing efficiency, quality, and automation.
• Partner closely with Product to reduce service dependency by enhancing the Deduction Reconciliation Module (DRM), aligning with the company's long-term goal to "make the product so good that services become optional."
• Oversee service pricing and delivery strategy to ensure sustainable margin growth (>40% GM).

Organizational Leadership

• Lead and develop a 70+ person global organization with managers across CS, Implementation, Support, and DMS.
• Optimize org design and workflows to leverage AI-enabled processes and experienced, high-leverage teams.
• Champion a customer-centric culture rooted in Vividly's values: Kind Ambition, Keep It Real, Customer Love, Own It, Urgency Wins, and Pull Together.

• Track record of managing multi-function CX teams (CS, Implementation, Support, Managed Service) with global and offshore components.
• Experience introducing tiered service models and self-service enablement for long-tail customers.
• Strong operational acumen: data-driven approach to capacity modeling, forecasting, and efficiency optimization.
• Familiarity with AI-driven support automation, knowledge management systems, and SaaS health metrics.

Commitment to our values - The Vividly Code

• Kind Ambition: We are ambitious but our desire to succeed does not mean unkind or unethical behavior. We push boundaries, deny norms and experiment. We do that with kindness. We are empathetic to the struggles and challenges other functions face.
• Keep it Real: We do not have time for games or politics. We are honest, transparent, and authentic. We celebrate our differences and our similarities with equal enthusiasm.
• Customer Love: The customer is at the heart of every decision - we love our customers. Everything starts and ends with them. We actively listen and anticipate their needs. We are trusted advisors. That sometimes requires tough love.
• Own It: We take responsibility for our work, our successes, and our failures. When we see something that needs to be done, we do it. If we can't do it, we own finding somebody that can. Ownership helps us grow - be receptive if the right owner is you!
• Urgency Wins: We work with purpose and speed. We know that shorter time to value makes our customers more successful. We constantly wonder how we can do it faster. We fix things that are slowing us down, while still maintaining excellence. We know that the vast majority of decisions are reversible - we make them quickly.
• Pull Together: We reach our goals faster when pulling in the same direction. We actively seek alignment - but not necessarily consensus. Siloed thinking is unwelcome and drives defensiveness and unhelpful friction. When things go wrong, we pull together to fix them.
