About You
As Head of Delivery &amp; Customer Success, you will ensure that every Optiml customer achieves measurable value — from first implementation through long-term adoption and expansion.
You will work hand-in-hand with the Sales Key Account Lead, who retains full commercial ownership of each client. Together you’ll form an integrated account team: you lead delivery, onboarding, and value realization; they own commercial strategy and growth. You’ll jointly plan cross-sell, upsell, and account-expansion opportunities, ensuring success on both sides.
Success in this role is owning one of our key North Stars and ensuring that the systems and processes are fit for purpose, not only to achieve it, but to maintain and improve on it.
Internally, you’ll assemble lean cross-functional delivery squads from existing Product, Tech, Data, and CS teams, ensuring the right expertise is mobilized for each deployment without adding unnecessary overhead.
Externally, you’ll manage senior client stakeholders — from Heads of Fund Management to operational users such as Fund Managers, Asset Managers, ESG Managers, and Transaction Managers — guiding them through implementation, onboarding, and value realization.
You will also build and scale Optiml’s Delivery and Customer Success strategy: define the playbook, shape first- and second-level support, identify delivery and implementation partners, and design an efficient commercial and operational model.
A key part of your mandate is to ensure product feature requests and integration needs are systematically captured, qualified, and fed back to Product and Tech to inform roadmap decisions.
If you excel at orchestrating complex enterprise implementations, leading customer success strategy, and turning customer outcomes into growth—this is your role.
About Optiml
Optiml is revolutionizing real estate with our Real Estate Decision Intelligence (REDI) software—a new class of decision technology that embeds AI to help decarbonize buildings while optimizing asset financial performance. 
We are an ETH Zurich spin-off that launched our first product in April 2024 and are now scaling across Europe and the US. We recently raised an oversubscribed €8M Seed round to accelerate our growth, supported by leading VCs such as KOMPAS, Planet A Ventures, Innovation Endeavors (the fund of former Google CEO Eric Schmidt), BitStone Capital, and The Bau Ventures, along with leading angels. 
Built on more than a decade of research and proprietary IP, our platform enables institutional investors, owners, and asset managers to make underwritable, forward-looking decisions across the full asset lifecycle — from acquisition to exit — replacing static, backward-looking reports with actionable intelligence. 
Trusted by leading organizations across Europe and beyond, Optiml supports capital allocation decisions that balance key financial, regulatory, and sustainable considerations under real-world constraints. 
As of early 2026, we are expanding our team to scale our product capabilities and operational delivery as we work to make Real Estate Decision Intelligence the global standard for real estate investment decision-making.
