  • Partner closely with Sales to support renewal and expansion efforts by identifying opportunities, validating value, and maintaining accurate account context.
  • Maintain high-quality CRM and Customer Success platform documentation, including success plans, customer interactions, risks, and outcomes.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Marketing, Support, and Revenue Operations to resolve issues, improve customer experience, and influence product and content strategy.
  • Follow established Customer Success playbooks, processes, and standards to ensure consistency, scalability, and quality across the customer lifecycle.


Knowledge, Experience, Requirements:
  •  3–5 years in Customer Success, Account Management, or similar customer-facing SaaS roles.

  • Strong communication and executive presence, with the ability to lead structured business reviews and customer conversations.
  • Experience building and executing success plans aligned to customer business objectives and measurable outcomes.
  • Commercial awareness with experience supporting renewals and identifying expansion opportunities.
  • Proficiency with CRM and Customer Success platforms (Salesforce preferred).
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret customer usage data and translate insights into action.
