  • Mitigate churn and close Share-of-Wallet gaps by proactively engaging with the customer base, leading Quarterly or Annual Business Reviews, identifying strategic areas for engaging with our customers

  • Be the voice of the Company towards our customers, educate and up-sell in equal measures, share best practices across the customer base and seek higher platform utilization

  • Scale and lead the Customer Success team as the customer base grows, including hiring, onboarding, and developing Customer Success Specialists, while building the function and operating model for long-term scalability

  • Manage and develop key account relationships while acting as the escalation point for complex or high-impact customer cases, ensuring strong, long-term customer success and satisfaction

  • Collaborate closely with Sales, Travel Support, Product, Support, and Tech teams to enhance customer engagement, satisfaction, and retention, while also identifying and driving upsell opportunities

  • A data-driven and analytical mindset, with experience using customer insights, KPIs, and performance metrics to identify upselling opportunities and drive improvements

  • A proven track-record of managing task-driven teams using modern project management tooling, to balance the ratio of proactive vs re-active tasks. Very high ability to organise teams and create resource and planning forward visibility for the CSM team, which is then shared within the company for resource planning purposes
