Do AI skills change chief customer officer pay?

For Customer Success roles in general, as of November 2, 2026. This is the function’s figure, not one for chief customer officer alone: one title rarely has enough listings on both sides.

Among Customer Success listings, those that ask for an AI skill advertise a median $143,000, against $115,000 for those that never mention AI (+24.3%). That raw gap is not matched on level or industry.

Listings that ask for an AI skill
$143,000
median, from 230 paid listings
Listings that never mention AI
$115,000
median, from 291 paid listings

Advertised pay only: the midpoint of the range an employer posted, on live U.S. postings read from the full text. “Asks for an AI skill” means the posting names a specific AI skill; “no AI” means it never mentions AI. A difference in what is advertised is not a promise of what you would be paid, and it does not show that learning a skill causes a raise.
