• You’ll work with some of the world’s largest and most recognisable organisations, helping them get long-term value from Gearset.
• You'll own a portfolio of 80–100 customers, prioritising your time where it can have the biggest impact
• You'll use product usage data and account signals to understand where customers are getting value, where they're not, and what to do about it.
• You’ll take ownership of renewal outcomes across your portfolio, spotting risks early and working with customers to keep them on track.
• You’ll work closely with Account Managers to identify and qualify opportunities where Gearset can support customers further.
• You’ll build a strong understanding of your customers, from their technical challenges to their wider business priorities.
• You’ll work towards a growth target that reflects the commercial impact of strong customer relationships.
• You'll advocate internally, working with Support, Product and Renewal Managers, pulling in the right people to get customers to a good outcome.
• You’ll collaborate with other CSMs to improve how we work, test new approaches and find better ways to deliver value for customers.
• You’ll join a supportive team where feedback, learning and sharing what works are part of how we get better together.

WHAT YOU'LL ACHIEVE

• Help your customers get consistent, long-term value from Gearset, supporting strong retention across your portfolio.
• Build trusted relationships with the people who use Gearset day to day, as well as senior stakeholders and decision-makers.
• Own renewal outcomes, understanding what matters to each customer and addressing risks before they become blockers.
• Recognise when a customer could benefit from more of Gearset and work with Account Managers to explore the opportunity.
• Understand the signs that a customer may be at risk and work collaboratively to get things back on track.
• Keep a clear, current picture of every account, so risks and opportunities are visible and there’s a clear plan of action in place.
• Represent your customers internally, making sure their experiences and feedback help us improve how we support them.
• Develop your knowledge of Salesforce DevOps so you can have useful, credible conversations with technical teams.

ABOUT YOU

• You have experience in Customer Success or Account Management, where you've been accountable for retention, growth and customer outcomes.
• You’re comfortable learning technical concepts and explaining them clearly to people with different levels of technical knowledge.
• You take the time to understand what customers are trying to achieve, identify risks and opportunities, and find practical ways forward.
• You can build effective, long-term relationships with a range of people, from technical users to senior stakeholders.
