Job Description
Director of Customer Success
About the Role
We're seeking a client-focused leader to own the complete customer journey and drive exceptional outcomes for our retail portfolio. Reporting directly to the CEO, you'll oversee everything from PCA's role in store openings to supporting our client's ongoing operations, while building relationships, systems, and training programs that support and emphasize operational excellence. You'll be the voice of the customer internally and PCA's trusted advisor externally.
About PCA
Platform ******** Advisors (PCA) is a New York–based ******** retail advisory and financing platform focused on helping independent dispensary operators launch, scale, and sustain compliant, high-performing businesses. We bridge the gap between licensure and operational execution, partnering with entrepreneurs to provide the infrastructure, capital access, and domain expertise required to navigate an increasingly complex ******** landscape.
Our model is grounded in the belief that independent retailers deserve institutional-grade support without compromising the character and authenticity that define their businesses. PCA enables operators to retain full brand independence while benefiting from centralized capabilities across retail operations, finance, and regulatory compliance. We are mission-driven in our commitment to advancing equity, sustainability, and community engagement within the legal ******** industry—supporting the development of inclusive markets and enduring, neighborhood-rooted businesses.
The Opportunity
We’re at an inflection point. PCA supports eight operational independent retail dispensaries across New York, including seven in New York City. We are on pace to double store count in the coming months across New York. Our clients don't need service providers—they need partners who understand retail operations, can solve complex problems, and help them thrive in competitive local markets. This dynamic role combines strategic advisory, hands-on execution, cross-functional collaboration, and relationship management to ensure every client achieves their goals and becomes a long-term partner.
