  • Drive strategic discussions with customers to identify and capitalize on opportunities for optimization, growth, and innovation in service delivery.

Customer Advocacy and Escalation Management

  • Manage and resolve complex customer issues and escalations, coordinating with internal teams to deliver timely and effective solutions.
  • Monitor customer satisfaction, anticipate challenges, and proactively address potential issues to maintain strong relationships and customer health.
  • Operational Excellence

  • Stay current with the delivery of managed services on the account (if applicable), ensuring that service levels meet or exceed contractual obligations and customer expectations.
  • Collaborate closely with internal teams (Consulting, Operations, PreSales and Sales) to ensure value alignment on customer goals, service delivery, and long-term planning.
  • Identify areas for process improvement and work with cross-functional teams to drive initiatives that enhance the customer experience.
  • Revenue Growth and Business Impact

  • Proactively identify opportunities for account expansion through up-sell and cross-sell initiatives, collaborating with Sales and Product teams to drive additional value for customers.
  • Partner with Sales and PreSales on contract renewals, contributing to negotiations and ensuring mutually beneficial terms that support both customer success and business growth.
  • Contribute to the company's overall business strategy by providing customer insights and feedback that inform product development and go-to-market efforts.
  • Thought Leadership and Best Practices

  • Act as a thought leader within the Customer Success organization, contributing to the development of best practices and innovative approaches to account management.
  • Mentor and share expertise with other CSMs, fostering a collaborative culture focused on customer-centric solutions and continuous improvement.
  • Lead by example in customer communications, project management, and issue resolution, demonstrating excellence in all aspects of account management.
  • Reporting and Insights

  • Track, analyze, and report on key metrics for assigned accounts, including customer satisfaction, retention rates, NPS, and overall health.
  • Present insights and recommendations to senior leadership, using data to influence decision-making and drive customer success strategies.
  • Regularly assess the health of key accounts, providing proactive recommendations and action plans to ensure continued success.
  • Position Requirements / Qualifications :

    Education : Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree (MBA or equivalent) preferred.

    Experience :

  • 10+ years of customer success, account management, or related experience in a leadership or high-impact individual contributor role, preferably in SaaS, managed services, or cloud environments.
  • 7+ years of SAP, ERP, or similar industry experience, with expertise in managing large-scale, complex enterprise accounts.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage complex, high-value customer relationships and deliver successful outcomes.
  • Proven track record of driving customer satisfaction, retention, and growth in a customer-facing role.
  • Skills :

  • Exceptional communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills, with the ability to engage and influence executive-level stakeholders.
  • Strong strategic thinking and problem-solving abilities, with the capability to develop and execute long-term customer success plans.
  • Expertise in ITIL and / or Agile frameworks, project management methodologies, and customer success platforms.
  • Proven ability to collaborate across teams and departments to achieve customer and business goals.
  • High business acumen, with the ability to identify opportunities for revenue growth and drive value for both the customer and the company.
