The CS Ops advantage: Designing for retention, efficiency & scale
In this session, Nina Pokropińska, Customer Success Ops & Product Director, Sr. Principal at Mercer, shares how she built a role that bridges Product and Customer Success to solve one of the biggest challenges in CS today: retention at scale.
Starting her career in Product before expanding into CS, Nina brings a unique perspective on how operational systems, data models, and cross-functional rituals can turn Customer Success from reactive firefighting into a predictable, measurable driver of retention.
Drawing on Mercer’s approach, she’ll show why retention is increasingly an operations and product design problem, not just a CSM responsibility and how mature CS Ops functions create the structure, visibility, and efficiency needed for CS teams to scale their impact. Expect practical insight into the frameworks, workflows, and organisational thinking behind high-performing CS organisations.
