💼 About the Role

We are looking for a VP of Customer Success to own customer outcomes end-to-end: from pre-sales deal shaping and proof of value through activation, delivery, and expansion. This role is the single point of accountability for customer success, delivery integrity, and long-term account value.

You will ensure customers achieve measurable impact while Murphy AI scales revenue without compromising execution quality. You will design and lead the systems, standards, and teams that make customer success predictable, proactive, and scalable instead of heroic or reactive.
Your north stars? Time to value and NRR.

This is most likely our first Leadership Team hire in London. You will play a key role in scaling Murphy's culture and Multi-location ways of working.

📝 Responsibilities

Own customer outcomes from promise to impact

Set pre-sales and POC engagements up for success

• Ensure POCs and pre-sales engagements are outcome-driven, well-scoped, and aligned with delivery reality.

• Establish clear go / no-go criteria before progressing customers into activation.

• Reduce interruptions, escalations, and noise caused by unclear ownership or poor execution.
