Job description

We are looking for a Strategic Customer Success Manager (CSM) to help support and grow our largest and most strategic customers. As a Strategic CSM, you'll guide a portfolio of customers to deploy Asana successfully, adopt it widely across their organisation, and ensure they continuously gain business value from Asana. By engaging your customers using a consultative approach, you'll position yourself as a strategic partner and serve as the trusted point of contact across their lifecycle: onboarding, value creation and renewal. Equipped with the knowledge of what it takes for customers to succeed with Asana, you will serve as the voice of your customers cross‑functionally, providing feedback to the Product team and broader business. To the entire Asana team, you'll exemplify an empathetic, customer‑centric perspective. This role is based in our London office with an office‑centric hybrid schedule. The standard in‑office days are Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Most Asana staff have the option to work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays. If you’re interviewing for this role, your Talent Acquisition Partner will share more about the in‑office requirements.

What You’ll Achieve

• Develop, nurture and own relationships at every level of the organisation with a focus on senior‑level and decision‑making stakeholders (i.e. C‑Level) serving as a trusted advisor on the collaborative work management space
• Partner with customers to identify their strategic goals and co‑create Success Plans with clear success metrics and engagement strategies
• Execute on all phases of the customer journey; ensuring value through deployment strategies, change management, workflow design, business reviews and roadmap consultations
• Collaborate with Sales to develop strategic account plans, nurture executive relationships, manage renewals and explore expansion opportunities
• Develop and maintain an internal Champion Network or Centre of Excellence within the customer’s organisation to help foster customer advocacy and facilitate customer testimonials or case studies
• Analyse customer usage to identify trends and drive targeted campaigns for enhanced engagement and product adoption to proactively identify risks and lead internal teams to create and execute corrective plans
• Identify and forecast risk while proactively identifying and mitigating risks to drive customer satisfaction and long‑term success
• Serve as the voice of your customers by surfacing key trends and insights to R&D and business teams based on your knowledge of customer needs
• Travel and meet customers on‑site up to 25% of the time

Our Customer Success team is committed to helping customers maximise the value of Asana as both a technology platform and a holistic approach to collaboration. From high‑touch to scalable success, our goal is to deepen the usage of the whole work graph, resulting in delivering unmatched value with scalability and consistency. We strive to help all of our customers, across countries, industries, and functions, get off on the right foot and continue to get the most value out of Asana over time.

At Asana, we’re committed to building teams that include a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills, as this is critical to helping us achieve our mission. If you’re interested in this role and don’t meet every listed requirement, we still encourage you to apply.
