About Cornerstone OnDemand

Cornerstone powers the future-ready workforce with adaptive HR, learning, and talent technology trusted by more than 7,000 enterprise customers worldwide. We help organizations develop, engage, and retain their people - while delivering measurable business impact.

We're transforming how enterprises experience value realization through CLEG - Customer Lifecycle Experience & Governance - a first-of-its-kind framework that guarantees ROI, renewal, and expansion through a governed, 3-year customer journey.

About the Role

We are seeking a Vice President, Customer Lifecycle Experience & Governance (CLEG) to lead one of Cornerstone's most strategic initiatives.

This executive role owns the global CLEG program - a cross-functional transformation engine that unites Sales, Customer Success, Product, Partners, and Finance around measurable customer outcomes. The VP will drive both operational excellence and commercial impact - ensuring CLEG increases customer renewal rates, accelerates adoption, and fuels predictable ARR growth.

This is a full-time, highly visible role with no direct reports but a broad dotted-line matrix of internal contributors and leaders supporting execution and governance. The ideal candidate combines deep SaaS lifecycle expertise with strong executive influence, program discipline, and a passion for measurable results.

Maintain cadence of SteerCos, QBRs, and innovation reviews to ensure accountability and visibility.

Partner with Product & Engineering to embed innovation adoption into governance milestones. Champion Customer Value

Embed CLEG into the pre-sales process as a differentiator that de-risks transformation for enterprise buyers.

Evangelize CLEG externally - representing Cornerstone at industry events, executive forums, and thought leadership platforms.

Partner with Marketing and Enablement teams to expand global awareness and adoption of CLEG. What You'll Bring

15+ years of experience in enterprise SaaS program management, customer lifecycle, or transformation leadership .
