Director of Customer Success

Position: Full Time/Permanent

Location: Daily Mail Headquarters, Derry Street, HSK, London, W8 5HY

 

About the Role

The Director of Customer Success is a key role with full ownership of the full subscriber lifecycle at the Daily Mail & Daily Mail+, with a target of reaching 1 million digital subscribers by FY2028.

The role spans the full customer success picture, — from onboarding through to long-term retention and revenue maximisation, ensuring every subscriber is treated in the best possible way throughout. This role will heavily influence our net growth performance by working closely with our Acquisition, Product & Editorial teams and serving relevant performance & customer data to grow our subscriber base sustainably.

Reporting to the Group MD Subscriptions, this is a senior role with direct responsibility for the overall subscriber experience, maximising lifetime value, minimising churn, and creating/maintaining excellent customer journeys. It requires a customer-obsessed, commercial mindset, a data-driven approach, and the ability to work closely with editorial, product, acquisition and, particularly, data analytics teams.

 

Main Responsibilities

  • Retention strategy & trading — define and execute retention programmes, including win-back, save, and pause initiatives, with clear ownership of churn and save rate targets
  • Subscriber lifecycle & experience — own the end-to-end subscriber experience, from the moment a user becomes a customer through to long-term retention.
  • Customer journey — develop and continuously improve customer journeys across all relevant touchpoints, identifying and addressing key drop-off points
  • CRM strategy & execution — lead data-driven CRM across the subscriber base, ensuring personalised, timely communications that drive engagement and reduce churn
  • Pricing & lifetime value — manage pricing strategy across the customer lifecycle and own LTV modelling to inform commercial decisions & acquisition trading activity

 

Person Specification

  • Senior experience in customer success, retention, or lifecycle marketing — ideally with experience in subscriptions within a digital business; experience in the media industry would be an advantage, though not essential
  • A customer-obsessed and commercial mindset, with a data-driven approach
  • Strong commercial acumen with a track record of owning churn, LTV, and revenue metrics
  • Deep understanding of CRM and data-led personalisation
  • A strategic thinker who can also operate at pace in the detail
  • A minimum of 5 years of experience of leading people

 

Package Description

Our benefits package increases the longer you’ve been with us. Here’s what to expect:

  • 25 days’ holiday (increasing by 1 per year up to a total of 30)
  • Pension plan and life cover
  • Discounts on online shopping, dining cards and vouchers, and access to our Employee Assistance Programme
  • Onsite gym, subsidised canteen and onsite nurse and GP clinics

Plus much more...
