# Head of Customer Success and Implementation, Europe

> Open · Germany (Remote) · Full-time · Posted 2026-07-05

**Workplace:** remote

## Description

### The company

Open is building the AI that answers when it matters most — the complete customer communication engine that leading enterprises trust for their hardest, highest-stakes conversations. If you live in Europe, there's a good chance our AI has already helped you. Companies like MoneyGram, Mollie, TicketSwap, Viva.com, More.com, Trunkrs, and FareHarbor (a Booking.com company) rely on Open to handle millions of customer interactions — at a 77% average automation rate and 99%+ accuracy, priced on outcomes rather than seats. We're backed by Y Combinator, Pioneer Fund, and Spacetime, and we focus on large enterprises with the most sophisticated support needs.

### The role

It begins hands-on and grows into a team you will build and lead. In your first months you are the implementation team; within a year, you are leading one.

### What you'll do

-   Own implementation personally — take enterprise customers from signed contract to live production in collaboration with our customer engineering team: scoping each deployment, designing integrations with their helpdesk and workflows (Zendesk, HubSpot, Salesforce, Intercom, Freshdesk, and more), and getting their AI agents resolving real conversations.
-   Get customers live, and to value — a kickoff call is not success; a customer automating at scale in production and renewing because the ROI is undeniable is. You will own go-live as the metric that matters and clear every blocker between signature and success.
-   Navigate complex enterprise cycles — partner closely with sales and engineering through long, high-stakes deals with many stakeholders, security reviews, data migrations, and legacy systems, keeping business and technical stakeholders aligned from pre-sales scoping to post-sales expansion.
-   Build the playbook, then the team — codify what works into a repeatable implementation methodology, then hire and lead the Customer Success and Implementation team across Europe, coaching them to the bar you have set.
-   Be the voice of the customer — turn what you learn on the front line into sharper onboarding, a better product, and stronger retention, working directly with our founders and engineers, who talk to customers every day.

## Requirements

### What you'll bring

-   8–10+ years in customer success, implementation, professional services, or solutions and onboarding leadership at an enterprise B2B SaaS company, with genuine depth in technical implementation.

-   A track record of personally leading complex enterprise deployments end to end — integrations, APIs, data migrations, and getting customers into live production.
-   The ability to operate as a player-coach: hands-on delivering today, hiring and building a team tomorrow.
-   Experience navigating long, complex enterprise sales and deployment cycles, and managing senior stakeholders on both the customer and internal sides.
-   Fluency with CRM and support tooling (Salesforce, HubSpot, Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk) and the modern AI tools your team will build on.
-   Based in Western Europe — ideally Germany, the United Kingdom, or the Netherlands — able to work across CET business hours and to travel to customers when it counts.

### Even better

-   You've built a Customer Success or Implementation function from the early stage, not just joined a mature one.
-   Domain experience in AI, customer support, fintech, or enterprise support operations.
-   You've carried or directly influenced retention and expansion targets.
