About the Role:

We are seeking to hire a manager for our Customer Success Management (CSM) team in order to support the continued growth of the company. This role inherits an existing set of well documented processes, policies, and expectations, although there is considerable scope and expectation to re-evaluate these, and help take the team to new heights by doing so.

The objective of the CSM team is the retention of all Enterprise customers by ensuring they meet their success criteria and realize ever-growing value from the Vercel platform. As a manager of a CSM team, your role is to support and strengthen your team in making this a reality at all time, always finding ways to improve team efficiencies and scalability. Experience of using a CS CRM is beneficial and an understanding of SaaS Enterprise lifecycles essential, as is experience implementing well defined customer playbooks and activation strategies.

• Coaching your team through various methods to help them deliver a better service.
• Acting as an escalation point for any customers dissatisfied with the platform service.
• Working closely with the CSE managers to consistently improve customer issue resolution.
• Forecast key CSM metrics through a variety of data analysis tools, actioning where required.
• Reporting the above metrics to the CS Director and leadership team on a weekly basis.

About You:

• Experience working in Customer Success at a SaaS company.
• Experience devising and implementing SaaS customer activations strategies
• Experience setting and managing Key Performance Indicators and growth plans for team members.
