<p class="isSelectedEnd">The <strong>Director, Customer Delivery & Services</strong> will define the vision, strategy, and commercial success of Novisto's global services organization—not just its operations.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">You will transform Customer Delivery into a scalable, revenue-generating business that accelerates customer value through implementation, advisory, enablement, and value realization services.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Your focus is threefold: build a commercially accountable services business, elevate customer outcomes by improving time-to-value and adoption, and create a delivery model that scales through people, processes, technology, and product.</p>
<p>With deep ESG expertise provided by our senior analysts, you'll focus on designing the operating model, delivery strategy, and commercial approach that enable exceptional customer outcomes at scale.</p>
<p><strong>Key Responsibilities:<br></strong></p>
<p><strong>Services Strategy and Commercial Ownership</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Define and execute the global services strategy: the portfolio of implementation, advisory, enablement, and realization offerings, and the roadmap to strengthen it</li>
<li>Own the services operating plan, revenue, and margin, reporting on attach rate, advisory conversion, and services revenue contribution</li>
<li>Own the services catalog and rate card: inclusions, exclusions, pricing, and scoping standards, in partnership with the VP CS and pricing stakeholders</li>
<li>Give CSMs clear guidance on what is billable, and standardize advisory scoping, proposals, and credit tracking</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Customer Value and Delivery Quality</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Establish service delivery standards that improve time-to-value, solution adoption, customer confidence, and successful completion of critical reporting and assurance milestones</li>
<li>Build delivery governance: quality reviews, milestone checkpoints, and clear escalation paths across services and support</li>
<li>Ensure delivery quality and customer outcomes are measured alongside operational efficiency and financial performance</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Services Operations and Delivery Management</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Build and own the services queue end to end: intake, triage, assignment, prioritization, and delivery against committed dates, with published SLAs so internal partners and customers know what to expect without chasing</li>
<li>Build a coverage and ownership model so account knowledge survives absences and transitions, backed by delivery dashboards on throughput, cycle time, and aging</li>
<li>Build a capacity and utilization model from ticket and delivery data, forecast demand against the ESG reporting calendar (CDP, EcoVadis, S&P seasons), and staff ahead of peaks</li>
<li>Give CS leadership a monthly view of capacity, delivery performance, and the unit economics of services work</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Scalable Delivery Organization</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Turn high-volume, repetitive delivery work (initial metric setup and configuration, digitization, backfills, bulk imports, field mapping) into standardized, AI-assisted workflows with measured time savings</li>
<li>Build the playbook library so quality does not depend on who picks up the ticket</li>
<li>Partner with Product so recurring delivery friction feeds the platform roadmap, making the product itself a scale lever</li>
<li>Set an efficiency agenda with targets, so scale comes from design rather than headcount or heroics</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>People Leadership and Partnership</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Act as the direct people leader for the ESG Analyst and Customer Support teams: weekly 1:1s, coaching, performance feedback, and escalation support</li>
<li>Protect the teams' strong development culture; route deep ESG-technical questions to senior analysts rather than arbitrating methodology personally</li>
<li>Partner with CSM leadership on staffing new deals, and with Onboarding peers on handoffs and escalations</li>
<li>Contribute as a member of the CX leadership team, shaping how delivery works across the customer lifecycle</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><br>Job Requirements</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>7+ years of experience in SaaS Professional and Advisory Services</li>
<li>Defined services strategy and owned a services number (operating plan, revenue, margin, attach rate, or utilization), with the judgment to know what to charge for and what to invest in the relationship</li>
<li>Built or scaled a professional services or services operations function in B2B SaaS serving enterprise customers</li>
<li>Hands-on experience packaging services: catalogs, rate cards, scoping standards, and margins</li>
<li>Implemented delivery infrastructure: SLAs, quality governance, capacity models, dashboards (Jira, PSA tools, or equivalent)</li>
<li>Concrete, measured examples of AI or automation adoption in delivery work</li>
<li>People leadership of specialist teams, with evidence of driving process change without losing the people</li>
<li>Nice to have: experience leading multiple teams or leaders as a delivery organization scales</li>
<li>Nice to have: exposure to ESG, sustainability, carbon accounting, or the reporting ecosystem (CDP, EcoVadis, GRI, ISSB, CSRD)</li>
</ul>
