Appointing a Technical Customer Success Manager to support Dreamdata’s next phase of growth

The story of Dreamdata

Dreamdata is a platform built to empower B2B marketers with the knowledge to answer any question about marketing's impact and understand where to invest next. Having grown from an office of three in Copenhagen to a global platform with $55M in Series B funding, they have expanded rapidly into the US. 

As the business scaled its customer base and continued to onboard new clients, leadership needed to strengthen key go-to-market functions to ensure customers could realize maximum value from a highly technical product offering. 

Alongside broader commercial hiring, the company identified a need for specialist customer success expertise capable of supporting increasingly complex customer requirements.

Challenge: Scaling customer success in a technical environment

Dreamdata needed to hire a Technical Customer Success Manager in New York. The core challenge here was finding someone with a rare combination of: 

  • Deep technical capability 
  • Proven customer success experience 
  • The ability to work closely with sophisticated customers 
  • The ability to be office-based three days per week in New York 

The role was business-critical. As customer numbers continued to grow, Dreamdata required a seasoned customer success professional who could support onboarding, improve customer outcomes and help maximize retention across an expanding client base. 

The search was further complicated by the limited number of candidates willing to commit to the required hybrid working model. 

Solution: Partnering with a specialist sales recruitment agency

Dreamdata engaged our recruitment consultants because they needed: 

  • Speed in a competitive market 
  • Access to specialist networks 
  • Confidence that the search would be completed successfully

The assignment was led by Andrew Stoves with an agreed eight-week timeline. 

Working closely with key stakeholders, Andrew conducted a highly targeted search focused on identifying candidates with the precise blend of technical expertise and customer-facing experience required for the role. 

The process included: 

  • Detailed briefing and market calibration 
  • Targeted candidate outreach 
  • Weekly progress updates with stakeholders 
  • Clearly defined timelines for each stage of the hiring process 
  • Ongoing candidate management through interview and offer stages

Beyond sourcing candidates, Andrew acted as a strategic advisor. A key challenge was balancing the level of technical expertise required against compensation expectations within the market. Andrew provided guidance around market realities and candidate availability, helping the business refine expectations while maintaining the quality bar required for the role. 

Result: Two successful sales hires, so far...

3Search has successfully placed: 

  • 1 Account Executive 
  • 1 Technical Customer Success Manager 

As a result, Dreamdata is now better positioned to: 

  • Deliver a stronger customer experience 
  • Support onboarding at scale 
  • Improve customer retention 
  • Ensure clients realize greater value from the platform

The business successfully secured a hire it is genuinely excited about, while strengthening an important function during a period of significant growth.
