Job description

About the Team

Our Customer Success team partners with leading global businesses to drive adoption of Sift's Digital Trust & Safety solutions. We are subject matter experts on Sift's products and our customers' needs, cultivating trusted relationships that turn product usage into measurable business outcomes. Internally, we are the voice of the customer, and we're always looking for smarter, faster ways to serve our accounts — including experimenting with new AI tools that make our day-to-day work sharper. It's a team that bridges business and technical challenges while helping our customers unlock the full value of Sift's platform.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for a Customer Success Manager who's eager to build real expertise in a high-stakes, fast-moving industry. You bring sharp critical thinking to a customer's stated request, working to understand the real need behind it, and you build trust quickly with the people you work with — both customers and internal partners. You're comfortable learning a complex product and an evolving fraud landscape, and you reach for the right tools, including AI tools, to work smarter as you grow into the role.

What You'll Do

Supporting a portfolio of accounts

Serve as a day-to-day point of contact for a portfolio of accounts, building relationships that go beyond the transactional, with guidance from senior CSMs and your manager on more complex situations.

Diagnosing customer needs

Apply critical thinking to get past a customer's stated request to the underlying need, with an understanding of when to loop in senior team members on ambiguous or high-stakes situations.

Contributing to product adoption

Help customers adopt the Sift platform features most relevant to their goals, and track progress toward measurable outcomes.

Advocating for customers

Represent customer feedback and needs internally, partnering with senior CSMs and other teams on escalations.

Supporting strategic business reviews

Help prepare and contribute to QBRs and other customer-facing reviews, with growing ownership as you build experience.

Building product and industry expertise

Develop a working understanding of Sift's product and the fraud landscape, and start contributing best practices back to the team.

What Would Make You a Strong Fit

• Experience leveraging AI/LLM tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Cowork) for day-to-day work, and general fluency with AI-assisted workflows
• Strong customer-facing communication skills, comfortable with technical and non-technical audiences alike

Nice to have

• Experience in the fraud, payments, or trust & safety industry
• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field, or equivalent practical experience
