Senior Customer Success Manager

New Today

Hello from the Recruiting Team at Customer.io! We're looking for a Senior Customer Success Manager based in the UK or Ireland who will focus on our Enterprise customer segment to join our growing team.

As a Senior Customer Success Manager at Customer.io, you’ll specialize in our largest and most strategic accounts to manage successful onboarding and ongoing support. In each phase of the customer lifecycle you’ll work with key customer contacts to understand cross organizational goals and help them prioritize and optimize their implementation of Customer.io. You’ll use your knowledge of the customer’s business and overarching objectives paired with your expert knowledge of the platform to introduce new use cases and features that lead to the desired outcomes.

You’ll lead with empathy and problem solving to guide assigned customers through key milestones of the customer journey. Tasked with getting tactical or strategic questions answered for customers, you’ll collaborate with customer success enablement, technical support, sales, product, and engineering (when appropriate). When it comes time to renew and/or expand, you’ll work closely with the Account Managers on our commercial team to strategize and execute an on-time renewal.

We don’t need you to be an expert at marketing - but rather, an expert at understanding your customers’ business and translating that into consultative guidance. You’ll be confident in facilitating conversations around data and integrations to identify key pain points for the customer and enlist the help of our Technical Support and Product teams to find solutions and advocate for change.

We are building for the future of our Customer Success org and we are looking for someone with opinions on best practice and experience working with Enterprise customers. Collaborating with the other Customer.io CS experts on our team, you will help shape and expand the Enterprise offering at Customer.io.
