About ClearCourse

ClearCourse Group is a rapidly growing collaborative of disruptive technology innovators dedicated to building brilliant software and payments solutions. We were formed in 2018 with investment from New York-based private equity firm Aquiline to build a portfolio of complementary software with our own integrated payments platform and professional service businesses.

Working better together is central to everything we do; each time we add a new business, we’re adding new ideas and innovation. Our mission is to help our customers build great businesses with our industry-specific software and embedded payments solutions.

GDS is a rapidly growing part of ClearCourse (26% growth year on year) looking for a Junior Customer Success Manager who will be working alongside a skilled team, made up of a BDM and another Customer Success Manager. You will also have access to the rest of the GDS team that works on the same floor of the Beverley-based office in Hull, who are always happy to answer questions. GDS is focused on career progression, and you could quickly move up the career ladder here with all the support you need. We are experiencing exciting times at GDS, with an ever-growing market share and imminent new product launches.

Key Accountabilities:

• Proactive Churn Mitigation and Risk Management: Use leading indicators to anticipate churn risks (i.e., usage patterns, support tickets, customer feedback, feature usage, etc.). Leverage these data-driven insights to develop and implement targeted retention strategies and mitigation plans to re-engage at-risk customers and prevent churn.
• Onboarding and Time To Value: Act as the primary point of contact after handoff from the BDM of New Business Acquisition, partnering with implementation to ensure customers are onboarded seamlessly and begin to experience product value quickly.
• Customer Advocacy and Community Building: Foster a strong sense of customer advocacy by collecting customer feedback, testimonials, and case studies. Identify and nurture potential customer champions who can advocate for our product within their networks and contribute to our customer community.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration and Communication: Collaborate closely with Sales, Product, and Support teams to ensure a seamless customer experience.
• Identify Upsell Opportunities: Identify and refer opportunities to BDMs to ensure that the business and BDM can attain upsell targets. The success of this directly impacts the CSM’s Net Revenue Retention (NRR) goal, which is a culmination of reducing churn and successful upsell.
• Performance Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting: Track and focus on key customer success metrics, including customer retention rate (CRR), NRR, customer satisfaction (CSAT), net promoter score (NPS), and customer health score.
• Strategic Customer Success Management: Rank and prioritize customers and work closely with strategic customers through a regular cadence of business reviews, on-site meetings, and workshops to stimulate product usage and feature adoption.

Requirements:

• Proven experience in a client-facing role.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to build rapport with clients.
