Position Type: Full-Time, Remote

About the Role
We’re hiring a Customer Success Manager (CSM) / Account Manager to own client relationships, drive product adoption, and protect + grow revenue.
This is not a support-only role.
You will:

* Own renewals and expansion opportunities
If you think in terms of retention, expansion, and client value — this role is built for you.
What You’ll Own
1. Onboarding & Product Adoption
* Lead onboarding and define success criteria
* Configure accounts and deliver training
* Ensure smooth implementation
* Track early adoption and close gaps
2. Account & Relationship Management
* Manage 20–40 client accounts

* Conduct regular check-ins and strategic calls
3. Proactive Client Engagement
* Monitor usage via:

* Deliver Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) aligned with ROI
4. Support Coordination & Escalation

* Ensure issues are fully resolved and clients are satisfied
5. Revenue Growth & Retention
* Identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities
* Collaborate with sales teams on expansion
* Own renewal pipeline and timelines
* Prepare contracts and ensure smooth renewals
6. Reporting & Feedback Loop
* Track and report:
* Client health
* Usage metrics
* Renewal status
* Capture client feedback and share with product teams
* Improve overall customer experience
What Makes You a Strong Fit
* You think in revenue (retention + expansion), not just support
* You’re a strong communicator with executive presence
* You balance:
* Client advocacy
* Business outcomes
* You’re proactive — not reactive
* You can manage multiple accounts without dropping the ball
Must-Have Requirements
* 2–3+ years in:
* Customer Success
* Account Management
* Client-facing roles
* Experience with:
* Salesforce or HubSpot
* CS platforms (e.g., Gainsight, ChurnZero, Totango)
* Strong presentation skills (QBRs, demos, client reviews)

* Remote flexibility with structured expectations
