The Role

As the Head of Success & Operations, your mission will be to scale Ambience from a promising disruptor to a dominant market leader over the next 24 months. You will own the entire post-contracting function of Ambience: design the playbooks for how Ambience deploys at leading healthcare organizations, building out teams of world class A players, and converting marquee institutions into vocal champions. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to architect how health systems implement the most transformative technology to impact medicine in the last 20+ years.

What You’ll Do: 

• Develop deep relationships with executive stakeholders (either directly or by enabling other Ambience executives) and align Ambience’s interests with customer stakeholder objectives
• Take a process re-engineering approach to translate insights across customers, identify post-contracting bottlenecks, and re-architect Ambience’s playbooks and organizational design to unlock bottlenecks
• Collaborate closely with cross functional leaders (Sales, Product, Marketing) to enable the Success Org in anticipating, prioritizing, addressing post-contracting bottlenecks
• Develop systems & rituals to accelerate time to identify and time to resolve any blocking issues that may risk the success of a pilot or renewal of a contract
• Enable the team to see around corners, personally step in to rescue struggling implementations when the team might be stuck, and manage stakeholder volatility amidst a rapidly evolving macro landscape
• Hire and cultivate a team of world class A players, ensuring that each team member has a clear growth plan & maintaining team morale even through setbacks
• Load balance staffing across initiatives and titrate pace of hiring to achieve company growth targets
• Partner closely with Product to synthesize learnings from alpha implementations to create initial playbooks that can be translated to net new customers
• Rapidly evolve initial playbooks into mature playbooks so that they can be reliably implemented by any team member, not just a select few barrel-esque “superstars”
• Partner with Product & Marketing to measure and package case studies (including hard financial ROI) to accelerate path to general availability and upsell existing/new customers on new products

Who You Are:

• You have 8+ years of customer success, implementation, management consulting, and/or operations experience and 4+ years of experience as a people manager
• You have experience managing complex B2B enterprise implementations of platform offerings with large ticket sizes
• You have a track record of owning demonstration of concrete ROI to executive stakeholders to support pilot conversions and contract renewals
• You have a track record of hiring and managing exceptional A player talent who are stage appropriate and mission aligned
• You have a track record of being a reliable “fixer” and hiring/upskilling superstar talent into a SEAL team of “fixers” who can rescue at-risk deployments
• You have a track record of owning greenfield initiatives, either through experience at a rapidly scaling startup or for a net new line of business within an established company
• You are extremely good with people, both in how you manage external stakeholders as well as how you maintain internal team morale
• You are willing to travel to certain key conferences and events as needed
• You have the ability to process complex situations and synthesize clear frameworks to enable the team to make effective decisions
• You are sufficient familiarity with the healthcare domain, capable of ramping up on relevant domain-specific context quickly, and may have pre-existing relationships with C-suite leadership of leading health systems
• You are a low-ego team player who prioritizes co-discovering the best ideas, even if they’re not your ideas
• You value being a kind, encouraging, and supportive teammate to others
• You have demonstrated the ability to thrive in environments with high levels of complexity, uncertainty, and ambiguity
