This role involves establishing the strategic vision, organizational structure, and operational model to drive customer retention, product adoption, and revenue growth at an enterprise scale.
Responsibilities
- Architect and lead the global customer support organization for Synopsys EDA software products, establishing the strategic vision, organizational structure, and operational model for an enterprise-scale service function.
- Establish systematic customer engagement frameworks that proactively monitor account health, surface emerging needs, and create continuous feedback loops that inform both service delivery and product strategy.
- Partner with pre-sales engineering, field application teams, and account management to ensure seamless customer experience across the entire lifecycle from evaluation through production deployment and renewal.
- Define key performance indicators and analytics frameworks that measure service excellence, customer satisfaction, product adoption patterns, and business impact.
- Build and scale a high-performing global support organization with the technical expertise to address complex EDA workflows and the service discipline to consistently exceed customer expectations.
Requirements
- 15+ years of progressive leadership experience in customer support, customer success, or technical services organizations, with substantial tenure at the vice president or senior director level.
- Demonstrated success building or transforming global support operations in enterprise software environments, ideally within EDA, semiconductor, infrastructure software, or similarly complex technical domains.
- Proven ability to design and scale multi-regional service delivery models that maintain consistency and quality across distributed teams and diverse customer segments.
- Track record of developing customer enablement strategies, knowledge management systems, and proactive engagement models that drive measurable improvements in satisfaction and retention.
- Executive presence and cross-functional leadership skills with the ability to influence product, engineering, sales, and executive stakeholders through strategic insight and business acumen.
- Experience establishing new organizational capabilities or leading significant transformations in environments characterized by complexity and ambiguity.
- Strategic orientation balanced with operational discipline and a focus on the metrics that drive both customer outcomes and business performance.
Desired Qualifications
- You can assess enterprise support operations holistically and identify the structural changes, process improvements, and capability investments that will deliver sustainable performance gains.
- You have built organizations where technical excellence and customer advocacy are embedded in the culture, reflected in both employee engagement and customer satisfaction metrics.
- You know when to challenge product or engineering decisions that will create downstream support burden, and you can frame those conversations in terms of customer impact and business risk.
- You are comfortable presenting support strategy to executive leadership and translating that strategy into operational plans that frontline managers can execute.
- You do not require fully defined mandates or perfect organizational clarity to begin building, you create structure through disciplined execution and bring stakeholders along through demonstrated value.
- You measure success by how effectively your organization enables customers to achieve their business objectives using Synopsys products, not simply by operational efficiency metrics.
Benefits
- Comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits.
- Total rewards include both monetary and non-monetary offerings.
- Potential for annual bonus, equity, and other discretionary bonuses.
- Competitive total rewards package.
- Opportunity to shape how Synopsys supports its customers at scale.
