Director of Customer  

The Director of Customer is a senior leadership role with responsibility for the overall customer experience across all post sale customer activities. Reporting directly to the Chief Revenue Officer, this role is central to the growth of Unbiased. Teams within this role include Account Management, Enterprise Account Management, and Customer Support. 

This role has been created to unify Customer Support and Account Management into a single, end to end customer function. Historically, Account Management at Unbiased has operated with a strong commercial focus but inconsistent impact on retention. 

The Director of Customer will redefine how we manage customers post-sale, moving from transactional, target-led account management to a customer experience-led model that balances advocacy, retention and sustainable revenue growth. 

You will lead the teams serving customers across enterprise, mid-market and SME segments, ensuring each receives the right level of engagement, value and support. This role combines strategic ownership of the customer function with hands-on involvement in customer escalations and high-impact relationships and covers both the UK and US businesses.
