Full Job Description
The Role

We're looking for a strategic, data-driven Customer Success Manager to partner with customers in maximizing value from our platform - leveraging AI to drive efficiency, adoption, and business outcomes. This role blends traditional CSM responsibilities with a strong focus on AI enablement, insights, and automation. AI is transforming how our customers operate, and this role makes sure they adopt it while they realize its full value, moving from manual processes to intelligent, automated workflows that drive real business impact.

Success in this role shows up in the numbers our customers and Outreach both care about; Net Revenue Retention, Gross Retention, and AI feature adoption; because when customers realize value, growth follows.

Your Daily Adventures

Customer Outcomes & Value Realization
  • Own a portfolio of customers and ensure they achieve measurable business outcomes
  • Drive adoption of core platform capabilities, with a focus on AI-powered features and credit consumption
  • Lead Executive Business Reviews (EBRs) tied to ROI, productivity gains, and revenue impact

AI Adoption & Enablement
  • Educate customers on AI capabilities (e.g., automation, predictive insights, personalization)
  • Own credit consumption as a primary, accountable metric for their book of named accounts
  • Define and prioritize AI use cases with the customer - translating a customer's GTM motion (prospecting, pipeline management, forecasting, coaching) into a sequenced roadmap of Amplify agent use cases that drives sustained adoption.
  • Lead hands-on change management with sellers and revenue leaders - running enablement sessions, coaching frontline adoption habits, and working with customer managers so the platform is adopted
  • Act as a strategist and influencer on the customer's AI GTM strategy - shaping how and where AI agents get embedded into the customer's sales process, and helping to build the internal business case for expanding usage into new teams and workflows

Data-Driven Account Management
  • Leverage customer data and AI insights to proactively identify risks and expansion opportunities
  • Monitor health scores, usage trends, and engagement signals to drive action
  • Use AI tools to surface recommendations and next best actions

Retention & Growth
  • Own renewal strategy and mitigate churn/contraction risk
  • Identify and drive expansion opportunities (upsell/cross-sell), especially tied to AI value
  • Partner with Sales and RevOps to align on account strategy

Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Represent the voice of the customer back into Product and Marketing, particularly on agent performance, prompt quality, and adoption friction
  • Partner with Professional Services on onboarding and complex implementations
  • Provide feedback on AI models, accuracy, and customer sentiment


Our Vision of You

Required Qualifications
  • 5+ years in Customer Success, Account Management, GTM/RevOps, Consulting, or a sales-process/technology advisory role, ideally at a SaaS company with complex, multi-product, AI-enabled offerings
  • Demonstrated experience driving software or platform adoption and leading change management with sellers and frontline sales managers
  • Strong executive presence and the ability to influence VP/C-level stakeholders on AI GTM strategy and organizational change, not just product usage
  • Comfort working with AI/agent-based products and translating technical capability into business outcomes for non-technical stakeholders
  • Experience managing enterprise customer relationships
  • Strong analytical mindset with the ability to interpret data and translate into action
  • Proven track record of driving renewals, expansion, and customer outcomes
  • Strategic thinking and consultative problem-solving mindset

Preferred Qualifications (AI-Focused)
  • Experience working with AI/ML-powered products or automation tools
  • Familiarity with concepts like predictive analytics, generative AI, or workflow automation
  • Working knowledge of core GTM workflows - inbound and outbound prospecting, pipeline management, retain/expand motions, forecasting, and manager coaching cadences - along with familiarity operating alongside the personas who own them (CROs, VPs of Sales, frontline sales managers, RevOps, and CSMs)
  • Working knowledge of how to create prompts and consistent use of tools like Claude, Gemini, etc.
  • Experience using platforms like Salesforce, Gainsight, or Outreach
  • Curiosity and adaptability in a fast-evolving AI landscape
  • Risk management and mitigation planning experience


$145,000 - $175,000 a year

Compensation for this role is comprised of an annual base salary and a variable component, ranging between $145,000 - $175,000 OTE. You may also be offered incentive compensation, restricted stock units, and benefits. Actual compensation is based on factors such as the candidate's skills, qualifications, location and experience.
