Sr. Customer Success Manager
About the role
Sr. Customer Success Managers own the post-sales experience for PetDesk's complex and high-value accounts, driving adoption, retention, and long-term growth while maximizing the return on a customer's technology investment. Sr. CSMs are responsible for ensuring the overall success of a high-volume book of business (400+), with a focus on accounts that require deeper strategic engagement and multi-stakeholder relationship management. They bring a sophisticated, data-driven approach to identifying risk and opportunity, and operate with a high degree of autonomy — setting their own priorities, leading complex escalations end-to-end, and serving as a resource and informal mentor to fellow CSMs. Successful Sr. CSMs have a deep understanding of PetDesk solutions and the veterinary landscape, and are trusted to navigate difficult situations independently.
Responsibilities
- Independently manage a complex book of business, exercising strong judgment on prioritization and engagement strategy with minimal oversight
- Build and maintain multi-threaded relationships across veterinary practices — engaging owners, practice managers, and key staff to drive alignment and long-term retention
- Use customer data, health signals, and product usage insights to proactively lead risk mitigation and churn save efforts, and uncover meaningful growth opportunities
- Own escalations end-to-end — navigating difficult customer situations with confidence, bringing in cross-functional resources as needed, and seeing issues through to resolution
- Drive PetDesk product adoption and customer satisfaction through sophisticated, tailored communication strategies that establish you as a strategic advisor — not just a point of contact
- Identify and influence expansion opportunities by connecting customer outcomes to additional PetDesk solutions, with a lens toward long-term account growth
- Lead high-impact business reviews that demonstrate measurable ROI and drive strategic alignment
- Share best practices, insights, and learnings across the CSM team, contributing to playbook development and informally supporting the growth of junior team members
Requirements
- 3-5 years of experience in a Customer Success role, with a demonstrated track record of managing high-volume, complex books of business independently
- Proven ability to manage and retain accounts through both high-touch relationship management and digital-scaled engagement strategies
- Strong experience with ChurnZero or a comparable CS platform; Salesforce proficiency required
- Demonstrated ability to multi-thread across stakeholders within a single account — navigating multiple contacts and decision-makers simultaneously
- A skilled escalation manager — calm, decisive, and effective when handling high-stakes or sensitive customer situations without needing to escalate upward
- Highly autonomous and self-directed; comfortable setting priorities and managing your book without day-to-day direction
- Analytical and strategic — uses data to lead, not just report; can translate health signals into a clear action plan
- A collaborative team contributor who actively shares knowledge and informally supports peers
