We are seeking a proactive, strategic, and customer-obsessed Customer Success Manager (CSM) to own and grow relationships across our mid-market customer segment. This role leverages a hybrid motion model, blending high-touch, time-based milestones (e.g., onboarding, mid-term health checks, pre-renewal planning) with trigger-based engagement (e.g., sudden increases or decreases in usage, new stakeholder activity, product adoption patterns) with a digital lead engagement for other points of the customer journey.
Your mission: drive rapid time-to-value, maximize adoption, ensure long-term retention, and identify, quantify, and mitigate risk early in the customer lifecycle.

Risk Identification & Mitigation

• Continuously monitor customer health using data insights, usage analytics, and customer behavior.

• Partner with Support, Product, and Sales to resolve blockers and maintain positive momentum.

Growth & Advocacy

• Identify expansion opportunities based on customer adoption, maturity, and needs.
• Partner with Account Executives on upsell/cross-sell strategies and renewal plays.
