The Customer Success organization is focused on ensuring clients receive the maximum value from our products and our experts in Product Education, Implementation, Client Advisory and Support to deliver business outcomes. Together, the teams are focused on retaining and growing our client base. 

This role is within the Client Advisory team, a group that partners heavily with sales, implementation and product teams to drive the best possible outcomes, adoption and overall success for clients on the VTS platform. They do so by developing key relationships with our clients, driving product engagement and value realization based on best practices and expertise across VTS’ asset management, digital marketing, and tenant experience platform, and ultimately supporting net retention across our client base.

As a Director, Property Advisory you will be a key leader in the Client Advisory department, overseeing the tenant experience focused advisory team. By developing a deep understanding of our customer needs and behaviors, this individual will develop and execute team-wide strategy and initiatives supported by data, process, tools, client communications and collaboration.

A key strength of this role will be a ‘customer first’ mentality and critical thinking - including developing hypotheses of problems/solutions - and partnering with Sales, Implementation and Services, Product, Support, Product Education and CS Operations. Based on their client/post-sales experience, this role must operate independently, rapidly, and be unafraid to fail-fast and/or continuously iterate on improvements. 

To thrive in this role, you should have experience with and enjoy leading large, global teams, building outcome focused frameworks, rolling out and coaching towards best-in-class playbooks, and thinking strategically towards driving business team direction while being accountable to our client’s success and ultimately net retention. You should be passionate about improving customer experience and managing change hands-on. The cross-functional nature of the role requires the candidate to be able to emphasize, influence, communicate and negotiate as required. Driving change by influencing leaders, teams, and achieving best-in-class outcomes, product adoption and net retention with measurable results is the north-star for this role.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor required by law to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities.

Because a person may become disabled at any time, we ask all of our employees to update their information at least every five years.

Identifying yourself as an individual with a disability is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer will be maintained confidentially and not be seen by selecting officials or anyone else involved in making personnel decisions. Completing the form will not negatively impact you in any way, regardless of whether you have self-identified in the past. For more information about this form or the equal employment obligations of federal contractors under Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
