Job description

It’s an exciting time to join Gearset. As a product-driven company, we’ve created the most trusted Salesforce DevOps platform in the market. As our customer base grows, so does the opportunity to deepen the value we bring to it. Our culture is built on trust, transparency and collaboration. People here are given real ownership and the autonomy to make an impact. We share what we know, challenge each other in the right way, and keep raising the bar together. With world-class Sandler training, an annual learning budget, and experienced teammates to learn from, this is a place where you can really grow in your career.

The SMB CSM team is the engine room of Gearset’s growth, responsible for over 2,000 customers. In this role, you will own your own portfolio of approximately 500 accounts. While these customers have a lower license count today, they include some of our exciting and recognisable global logos who are at the very beginning of their DevOps journey. Your goal is to be their dedicated trusted advisor, ensuring they reach their technical goals and see the value that justifies long-term expansion.

What’s the opportunity for a Customer Success Manager - SMB at Gearset?

• Own a large portfolio of customers, building relationships that help you understand their goals, priorities, and how Gearset can deliver more value.

• Use structured outreach, discovery calls, and targeted engagement to prioritise where you spend time, ensuring the right customers receive the right level of attention.
• Develop a strong understanding of each customer’s Salesforce DevOps maturity, challenges, and ambitions, enabling you to identify opportunities for deeper adoption and product expansion.
• Work closely with Account Managers to surface and progress commercial opportunities while supporting long-term customer success.
• Identify early signals of risk across your portfolio and proactively engage customers to keep them on track.
• Act as the voice of your customers internally, sharing feedback and insight with product, marketing, and sales to help improve the customer experience.
• Continuously improve how we engage customers at scale by contributing ideas, feedback, and experimentation within the team.

What you’ll achieve

• Build strong relationships with a broad portfolio of customers, developing an understanding of what success looks like for them.
• Identify and create expansion opportunities by uncovering new use cases, teams, or products that can increase the value customers receive from Gearset.
• Maintain strong retention across your portfolio by identifying risks early and proactively helping customers resolve challenges.
• Confidently lead customer conversations including discovery calls, product discussions, and success reviews.
• Partner effectively with Account Managers, Renewals Managers, Product, Marketing, and Support to ensure customers achieve meaningful outcomes with Gearset.
