When to hire a Fractional Customer Success Director
These are the signals that tell you it's time to bring in a Customer Success Director now, not next quarter.
Churn Is Climbing
Your net revenue retention is slipping and you don't have a senior leader with a clear playbook to diagnose root causes and reverse the trend before it compounds.
No Formal CS Function
Account management is happening ad hoc across sales, support, and founders. You need someone to build the CS org, define the customer journey, and install repeatable processes.
Expansion Revenue Is Untapped
You have a healthy install base but no structured upsell or cross-sell motion. A Customer Success Director can build the playbook that turns retention into a growth lever.
