Your role at Baxter

As the Senior Manager, Customer Success, you will lead the strategy, transformation, and ongoing development of Baxter's Customer Success organization within Customer Experience & Delivery. You will be responsible for driving product adoption, customer outcomes, retention, and value realization across Baxter's growing connected care portfolio. This is an opportunity to shape the future of a critical function that sits at the intersection of customer experience, technology, healthcare operations, and commercial strategy.

We are looking for a leader who enjoys building and scaling organizations. While Baxter has a talented and passionate team in place, the Customer Success function is still evolving.

The ideal candidate has experience building or transforming Customer Success teams and can introduce best practices, playbooks, customer health frameworks, KPIs, governance models, and operational rigor that enable long-term scalability and measurable results.

You will lead a team of Customer Success Leaders and Connected System Application Engineers with backgrounds spanning clinical operations, analytics, project management, and customer-facing support. Success in this role will require a balance of strategic leadership, operational excellence, change management, and customer engagement. You will establish clear expectations, define measures of success, leverage tools such as Gainsight, and create repeatable processes that enable the team to deliver a world-class customer experience. Working closely with Sales, Enterprise Accounts, Clinical Operations, Product Management, Engineering, Technical Support, and implementation teams, you will help ensure customers experience one coordinated Baxter while influencing stakeholders, challenging the status quo, and driving meaningful customer outcomes.

This is a remote position based in the United States and requires approximately 30% travel to customer sites and Baxter locations throughout the U.S.

What you'll be doing

• Lead, coach, and develop a multidisciplinary team of Customer Success Leaders and Connected System Application Engineers while building a high-performing, customer-focused organization.

• Collaborate across Clinical Operations, Product, Engineering, Technical Support, IDN Program Management, and Customer Experience teams to deliver a coordinated customer experience.
• Establish reporting, analytics, and voice-of-customer processes that provide actionable insights, improve decision-making, and drive continuous improvement.

What you'll bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Healthcare, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field.
• 8-10 years of experience in Customer Success, Customer Experience, Account Management, Professional Services, Healthcare Technology, or a related customer-facing function.
• 3+ years of people leadership experience with a track record of developing talent and leading high-performing teams.
• Demonstrated success building, scaling, or transforming Customer Success organizations, operating models, or customer engagement programs.
• Strong expertise in customer health frameworks, success planning, product adoption, value realization, retention strategies, executive governance, and customer segmentation.
• Experience leading technical or multidisciplinary customer-facing teams and working effectively within complex, matrixed organizations.
