About ConvergentIS
We are a Canadian technology company on our “Never-Ending Climb” to help build the world’s strongest supply chains, powered by Rio, our AI-powered ERP platform built to transform how enterprise operations run, from procurement to full business orchestration.
We’re building a team of thinkers and doers who thrive in the messy middle of technology and business. The kind of people who are curious by nature, see challenges as puzzles worth solving, and aren’t afraid to step into the unknown. You bring your whole brain to work. Whatever your discipline, you translate your expertise into real business impact, and you’re always looking for a better way to do it.
You’re energized by the pace of AI, see learning as part of life, and care deeply about the quality of your work. You take ownership, deliver results, and make the people around you better. You think critically, ask the right questions, and know how to navigate ambiguity without waiting to be told what to do, while also knowing when to adapt and break the mold to meet a unique challenge.
If that sounds like you, we’d love to meet you.
About the Role
This is a foundational leadership role at ConvergentIS. The Senior Vice President, Customer Success leads the entire post-sale organization across Implementation, Customer Success, and Support, and owns the department’s revenue line, including implementation revenue, retention, and expansion. You will sit at the executive table, partner directly with the CEO and the VP, GTM, and carry the customer relationship at the most senior level.
Our customers are running multi-year transformations on Rio. They are large organizations in oil and gas, utilities, mining, and the public sector, and the stakes are real. A successful enterprise software rollout protects revenue, simplifies operations, and unlocks years of compounding value. A compromised one drains executive attention and erodes trust. The job of this department is to land transformations.
You will step into a department mid-transformation. The outgoing leader is staying through the handover, which gives you a real window to step in deliberately. You will shape how Implementation, Customer Success, and Support work together, hire into the seats that need it, own implementation revenue, retention, expansion, and net retention as your primary metrics.
This role does not work in a silo. Customer outcomes at ConvergentIS depend on tight coordination across the executive bench. You will partner closely with our GTM team on sales handover, account expansion, and the moments where pursuit and post-sale need to be in lockstep. You will work hand in glove with Product on the customer feedback loop into Rio, surfacing patterns from the field that should shape the roadmap and translating roadmap reality back to customers honestly. And you will collaborate with Design on the experience patterns customers are navigating in implementation, because how customers feel using Rio is part of whether the transformation lands. We are looking for someone who shows up as a generous, clear, and direct partner across teams, closes loops without prompting, and treats peer relationships as load-bearing rather than nice-to-have.
This is not a generic SaaS Customer Success seat. We are looking for someone with the credibility of a transformation leader, the disposition of a trusted advisor, and the comfort to operate at executive altitude alongside us. If you have led ERP rollouts, sat at customer leadership tables, and built post-sale organizations that produced real outcomes, this is a role you will recognize.

Location and Hours
We are a global team headquartered in Calgary. Calgary-based candidates are preferred for this role given the executive engagement with our customer base, but Canada-remote is open for the right candidate. Our culture is flexible and no one is required to come into the office. Calgary team members tend to gather Tuesdays and Thursdays. Occasional customer site travel will be part of the role.
Our customers are across North America and the world, so flexibility on hours is part of the job. You should expect occasional working hour adjustments to meet customers where they are, and the comfort to manage your own schedule around what each engagement needs.
