The role

SoSafe has the ambition to become the leading human risk management provider in Europe. Our award-winning awareness platform triggers behavioural change by providing effective and engaging training and simulations on cybersecurity and data protection. Cybercrime is costing the world >$10 trillion annually and growing by 15% p.a. - we invite you to be part of the solution!

As Director of Customer Programs, you will serve as a high-impact, hands-on strategic leader responsible for designing, scaling, and executing global customer engagement and educational initiatives. We are looking for an impact-seeker-someone driven by the scope of customer outcomes and revenue expansion.

Leading a global team of individual contributors across international markets, you will bridge the gap between high-level strategy and direct execution. You build the engine, not just run it: scaled, AI-native programs that lift GRR/NRR across the long tail without scaling headcount linearly. You will take personal ownership of defining, launching, and scaling our strategic flagship initiative: the SoSafe Education Program. You will treat this initiative as a business you're launching: define the case, the targets, the pilots, and fine tune to what moves the needle.

What you'll do

  • Develop and directly execute a strategy to drive product adoption, user engagement, and lifetime customer value across a long-tail, multi-region customer segment.

  • Take full strategic and operational ownership of the new SoSafe Education Program, defining its roadmap, curriculum strategy, and rollout execution, supported by 1 fully dedicated individual

  • Personally design and deploy program-driven retention strategies that directly impact GRR and NRR performance targets across global accounts.

  • Lead, mentor, and actively coach a multilingual, global team of individual contributors, maintaining proximity to the work and leading by example.

  • Foster a high-bar culture focused on individual accountability, coachability, data-driven decisions, and operational excellence.

  • Build scalable frameworks, workflows, and automated processes to ensure consistent program quality across global regions.

  • Leverage AI tools, automation technologies, and customer analytics to streamline workflows, optimize program efficiency, and scale output.

  • Partner closely with the broader Customer Success team, Marketing, Product, and Sales to eliminate friction in customer journeys and align strategic priorities.

  • Collaborate with Marketing to manage clear handoffs between community/advocacy initiatives and education programs.

  • Own program-level KPIs such as adoption, engagement and retention impact. Add experiments and a clear link from program activity to GRR/NRR movement.
