About the role

We’re seeking a Senior Customer Success Manager to support our Enterprise customers (1,000+ users) through strategic partnership, proactive risk management, and value-led customer success.

Responsibilities

  • Own a unique Enterprise scaled portfolio: Manage 70-85 single product Enterprise customers totalling $3.5M ARR, with accountability for retention, adoption, expansion, and clear book ownership.
  • Operate within the GTM pod model: Partner closely with Sales, Renewal Managers, and pod leaders in a co-led Sales and CX model that owns the full customer revenue lifecycle across adopt, expand, and renew.
  • Drive commercial outcomes: Manage GRR and NRR through bi-annual Executive Strategy Reviews, adoption planning, proactive risk management, and CSQL creation.
  • Lead strategic customer conversations: Connect customer priorities to measurable business value, strengthen executive relationships (CHROs, CPOs, etc.), and validate renewal intent.
  • Leverage automated plays: Use digitally-led customer experience (DLCX) motions, automation, and one-to-many outreach to increase adoption, surface opportunity and risk, and create consistency across your book.
  • Identify and act on risk early: Drive risk mitigation plans with urgency and sound judgment, especially through moments like lost sponsors, stalled adoption, and changing customer priorities.
  • Use AI to improve scale and focus: Use AI-enabled tools and workflows to prepare for customer conversations, surface insights, reduce manual work, and spend more time on strategic engagement.
  • Improve the system and raise the bar: Maintain strong account hygiene in Vitally and related tools, share customer feedback, and contribute ideas and playbooks that strengthen our broader CX and GTM practice.

Requirements

  • Experience managing Enterprise or scaled B2B SaaS portfolios, with a strong understanding of strategic customer success in a scaled model.
  • A track record of owning GRR and NRR while balancing customer outcomes with commercial accountability.
  • Strong executive communication skills and the ability to lead data-informed, value-based conversations.
  • A proactive approach to risk management, strong customer and product curiosity, and sound judgment in high-stakes situations.
  • The ability to collaborate effectively across functions and operate with high accountability in a pod-based model.
  • Comfort using AI as a practical tool to synthesize information, improve prioritization, and increase the quality and consistency of customer engagement.

Qualifications

  • Previous experience in HR tech is a nice to have.

  • Learning programs and coaching to help you thrive and grow
