Job description

Senior Account Manager, Customer Success

Steno is growing! We're looking for a Senior Account Manager to join our Customer Success team, the people who make sure every law firm we partner with feels like they're in the best possible hands. You'll be the go-to person for your AmLaw firms, the one they trust to get it right, and the glue between our clients, Account Executives, and the teams behind every deposition. We're a diverse team from all over the country (and beyond) and we're crazy about redefining the boundaries of an outdated industry.

Who are you?

You're the person clients are relieved to hear from. You remember that one firm wants the exhibits sent a certain way and that another always needs things yesterday, and you handle both without breaking a sweat. You're detail-obsessed, calm when a deposition is on the line, and happiest when you've spotted a problem before anyone else knew it existed. You like owning things through to the finish, you love building real relationships, and you know how to balance a busy inbox with the bigger picture. In this role, you'll be both a trusted relationship owner and an operational partner, working side by side with Account Executives, Scheduling, Operations, Production, and Billing. This role reports to the Customer Success leadership team.

If you're looking for a company that offers support, guidance, an abundance of killer giphys, and unlimited potential to grow into your best self, you can bet we'd love to have you too.

• Own first-line issue resolution, managing tickets with clear documentation, prioritization, and follow-up, and escalating high-impact issues to the right people
• De-escalate tough conversations with empathy and professionalism, then confirm the fix landed and the client is happy
• Keep clients informed with proactive updates and get ahead of questions before they become concerns
• Share what you're seeing, from recurring errors and ticket trends to shifts in client sentiment, with AEs and leadership, and help fix root causes
• Educate clients on Steno's products, services, and best practices, and flag opportunities for firms to get even more from our technology
• Pitch in on scheduling inboxes and ticket queues during high-volume periods, and join our after-hours coverage rotation for urgent, last-minute deposition needs
