DECTRIS is seeking a Senior Customer Success Manager to own adoption, retention and expansion for our digital-services customers. You will build the Customer Success function from scratch, establish onboarding motions, health metrics, and scalable playbooks to support growing multi-team deployments.

You will engage with scientists, students, and department leads in a high-touch outbound role and translate customer wins into shareable scientific success stories.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in Customer Success, account management, or a comparable customer-facing role, ideally in a technical or scientific software environment.

• Clear, credible communication across very different audiences, from PhD students to department heads.
• Genuine curiosity about technology and about the science our customers do.
• Comfort using AI tools in your own work, with a sense for where they add real leverage.
• Excellent communication skills in English.

Responsabilités

• Own adoption, retention, and expansion across our digital-services customers - from first successful use through to growing, multi-team deployments
• Build the Customer Success function from the ground up: onboarding motions, health metrics, playbooks, and the operating rhythm that lets it scale as we grow
• Run a high-touch, outbound motion - you'll spend your time with customers, building real relationships with scientists, students, and department leads alike
• Turn customer wins into scientific success stories and reference cases the whole community can learn from
• Connect customers to one another and cultivate an active community around our digital tools
• Grow existing accounts - spotting where value is emerging, expanding usage, and opening the conversation upward to department and institutional leadership
• Partner closely with product, sales, science, and marketing to carry the voice of the customer back into what we build
• Use AI and automation to scale your reach and sharpen your read on customer health
