Job Title: Senior Customer Success Executive
Location: New York City
Location type: Hybrid
Who we are…
GlobalData Healthcare is the leading intelligence provider for Pharma, Biotech and Medical Device companies, helping them decode markets, outmanoeuvre competitors, and reach more customers. We're at a pivotal growth moment: recently carved out from GlobalData with transformational investment behind us, and ambitious targets ahead.
The role…
The Senior Customer Success Executive - Mid-Market owns a portfolio of mid-market pharma accounts and is expected to operate with a higher degree of autonomy, commercial sophistication, and team contribution than a Customer Success Executive. You will drive adoption, health, and retention outcomes across your accounts, build multi-threaded relationships that extend to Director level, and act as a genuine commercial partner to your AM - surfacing risk and opportunity with the depth and clarity that enables them to act.
The Senior CSE sets the standard in the Mid-Market team. You are the reference point for how a good account should be managed, how a difficult customer conversation should be handled, and how the AM partnership should work. Beyond your own portfolio, you will contribute to developing the team - sharing playbooks, coaching junior Customer Success Executives, and helping build the operating model that makes the whole Mid-Market function more effective. You do not own commercial contracts, but you are commercially accountable: you understand what it takes to win a renewal and you engineer the conditions for it across every account you touch.
Key Responsibilities
Portfolio Ownership & Adoption Strategy
- Manage a portfolio of mid-market pharma accounts from onboarding through pre-renewal, owning adoption and account health.
- Develop and execute account-specific adoption plans to drive sustained platform engagement.
- Identify adoption gaps and expand usage through new use cases, users, and workflows.
- Build and leverage internal champions to increase engagement and reduce reliance on single contacts.
- Deliver tailored, use-case-driven training aligned to customers' therapeutic and business priorities.
Commercial Awareness & Renewal Influence
- Maintain a clear commercial lens across your portfolio — understand each account's ARR, renewal timeline, budget cycle, and strategic importance.
- Build the renewal case from day one: document value delivered, track adoption milestones, and ensure the customer has a clear ROI narrative before the commercial window opens.
- Brief your AM on account health, risk signals, and expansion opportunities with the depth and specificity they need to act - not just status updates.
- Identify expansion signals proactively - new teams, new therapeutic areas, new decision-makers entering the account - and ensure your AM can convert them.
- Support at-risk renewal situations by designing and executing intervention plans alongside your AM.
Stakeholder Relationships & Multi-Threading
- Build and maintain deliberate, multi-threaded stakeholder maps across your portfolio - engaging champions, influencers, and senior stakeholders (Director level and above) across functions.
- Ensure no account in your portfolio is single-threaded - if your primary contact left tomorrow, you would have a relationship to stand on.
- Develop senior relationships that go beyond product engagement - understanding the customer's strategic direction, pipeline, and organisational priorities.
- Help customer champions build the internal case for GlobalData, so that renewal advocacy comes from within the account, not just from your own outreach.
- Co-lead on structured business reviews that position GlobalData as a strategic partner and create visible, senior-level value alignment.
Customer Health & Risk Management
- Maintain a proactive, multi-signal health view across your portfolio - going beyond platform usage to monitor organisational changes, engagement quality, champion risk, and commercial signals.
- Identify and escalate at-risk accounts early, with enough commercial context for AM and leadership to make informed decisions.
- Develop and execute risk mitigation plans for struggling accounts — diagnosis first, intervention second.
- Model strong portfolio discipline: prioritise by commercial risk and value, maintain current records in Planhat and Salesforce, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
Team Contribution & Development
- Act as a senior reference point within the Mid-Market CSE team - sharing playbooks, contributing to team sessions, and being the person junior Customer Success Executives turn to for guidance.
- Mentor and coach CSEs on account management, stakeholder engagement, commercial awareness, and difficult customer conversations.
- Contribute to the development and improvement of the Mid-Market CS operating model - proposing and testing new approaches, not just executing existing ones.
- Represent the Mid-Market CS team in cross-functional forums - with AM leadership, Product, and Content - as a credible, informed voice.
What are we looking for...
Essential
- Demonstrable experience in a customer success role managing a portfolio of B2B accounts, ideally in a SaaS, data, or intelligence business.
- Track record of driving adoption and retention outcomes across a mid-market or SMB account portfolio.
- Experience building multi-threaded stakeholder relationships including engagement at Director level.
- Strong commercial awareness — understands the link between CS activity and ARR outcomes, and acts accordingly.
- Experience designing and delivering use-case based training tailored to specific customer workflows and objectives.
- Evidence of contributing to team capability — mentoring, playbook development, or process improvement.
Desirable
- Experience in pharma, life sciences, or healthcare intelligence.
- Familiarity with CS tools such as Planhat, Salesforce, or Gainsight.
- Experience running formal business reviews (QBRs, EBRs) with Director-level stakeholders.
- Prior experience in a senior IC role within a CS team undergoing transformation or scale-up.
