• Manage inbound requests with urgency and precision, ensuring acknowledgment within SLA and driving toward first-contact resolution on the majority of interactions.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 3+ years of experience in Customer Success or Account Management within a B2B SaaS or FinTech environment.

• Strong organizational and prioritization skills, with the ability to manage a high-volume inbound queue across multiple time zones.
• Proficiency with CRM and Customer Success platforms such as Salesforce.
• Clear and confident communicator, with the ability to diagnose issues and deliver solutions quickly in both written and verbal formats.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience managing large, pooled or unassigned account portfolios in a high-velocity environment.
• Familiarity with churn mitigation frameworks or structured retention methodologies.
• Exposure to SaaS products, and subscription-based business models.
