Job description

The AI orchestration of your wildest imagination.

n8n is the open workflow orchestration platform built for the new era of AI. We give technical teams the freedom of code with the speed of no-code, so they can automate faster, smarter, and without limits. Backed by a fiercely inventive community and 500+ builder-approved integrations, we're changing the way people bring systems together and scale ideas for impact.

Since our founding in 2019, we've grown into a diverse team of over 260 - working across Europe and the US, connected by a shared builder spirit and with our centre of gravity in Berlin. Along the way, we've:

• Cultivated a community of more than 650,000 active developers and builders
• Earned 190K+ GitHub stars, making us one of the world's Top 40 most popular projects
• Backed by top investors, from Sequoia's first German seed to our SAP's recent strategic investment - bringing us to a $5.2bn valuation

That's the company we've built. Now we'd love to see what you can build.

We're in a defining moment of an incredible journey. Come and build with us.

This is a remote role working West Coast hours, and we are looking to hire people based in one of the following states: Washington, California, Colorado, Texas.

As a Customer Success Manager for our Guided segment, you will serve as the primary post-sales partner for a portfolio of approximately 30 enterprise accounts across the US West Coast region, guiding customers from onboarding through scaled adoption and long-term expansion.

You’ll run a strong operating cadence across customer engagements — including kickoffs, success planning, executive business reviews, adoption reviews, and renewals — helping customers translate product usage into measurable business outcomes and clear ROI.

You will proactively manage customer health, identify risks before they become blockers, and drive resolution across technical and business stakeholders. In addition, you’ll help design scalable playbooks and programs that improve customer outcomes across the broader customer base.

Working closely with Support, Solutions Engineering, Product, and Sales, you’ll turn technical success into durable revenue growth by driving adoption, renewals, and expansion opportunities that contribute to strong enterprise net revenue retention.

What You'll Be Doing

• Own a portfolio of n8n enterprise customers, acting as the primary post-sales partner across onboarding, adoption, and renewal
• Lead customer kickoffs and success planning, aligning stakeholders on goals, timelines, responsibilities, and measurable outcomes
• Drive onboarding and enablement across technical and business audiences, accelerating time-to-value and unblocking implementation challenges
• Establish a strong operating cadence (health checks, executive syncs, QBRs), using customer data and adoption insights to guide priorities and decisions
• Monitor customer health and product usage signals to proactively identify risks, manage escalations, and maintain stakeholder alignment
• Quantify and communicate business value throughout the customer lifecycle, building ROI narratives tied to adoption, efficiency gains, and business impact
• Identify and progress expansion opportunities (upsell/cross-sell), partnering with Account Executives on account strategies that drive customer growth
• Partner closely with Support, Solutions Engineering, and Product teams to resolve blockers quickly and deliver a seamless customer experience
• Provide structured, actionable feedback to Product and Engineering, representing customer needs and helping shape roadmap priorities
