As a Senior Customer Success Manager, you will be the primary post‑sale partner for a portfolio of B2B customers. Your focus will be retention and long‑term value realization—ensuring customers adopt, engage, and renew with confidence.

• Build and execute renewal strategies 90–120 days in advance, identifying risks early and partnering cross‑functionally to ensure seamless execution.
• Develop strong relationships with key stakeholders, aligning on measurable success metrics and desired business outcomes.
• Monitor product usage and engagement, proactively addressing adoption gaps to ensure customers realize clear ROI.
• Lead business reviews and strategic check‑ins to reinforce value, strengthen alignment, and surface growth opportunities.
• Identify and mitigate churn risk using data‑driven insights, executing mitigation plans and escalating when necessary.
• Maintain clear documentation of account health, risks, and blockers while advocating for customer needs and sharing feedback internally.

What skills and experience do you need?

• 3‑5 years in Customer Success or a similar client‑facing role in a B2B SaaS environment.
• Proven experience owning renewals and retention metrics.
• Strong commercial instincts and comfort leading contract conversations.
• Ability to interpret usage data and translate it into action.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Highly organized with strong attention to detail.
