About the role

  • I need someone who sets the agenda for their segment, coaches their team to operate with real autonomy, and comes to me with solutions - not just problems.
  • The person who thrives here is excited by that, not intimidated by it.
  • They've navigated ambiguity before, they know how to hold a team steady through it, and they have a genuine bias for figuring it out and moving forward.

Responsibilities

  • Lead a pod of 5-7 CSMs through structured 1:1s, performance feedback, and development conversations - with a clear standard for what good looks like at every level
  • Own retention and growth outcomes across your pod's book of business
  • Manage the full performance spectrum - accelerate high performers, address underperformance early and directly, and document with the rigor that People Team processes require
  • Drive AI adoption on your team, identifying efficiency opportunities and modeling what AI-native CS work looks like in practice
  • 2-3 years of people management experience in a B2B SaaS CS environment, with a track record of developing CSMs - not just managing their workload

Requirements

  • Genuine AI fluency - you can speak to specific ways you've used AI to change how your team operates, not just tools you've explored
  • Comfortable getting on the phone - you're coaching-first, but you know when manager involvement on an escalation or renewal is what actually moves things

Skills

  • Managing CS is not about doing the work for people.
  • Coaching as a core skill: Managing CS is not about doing the work for people.

Compensation

  • We believe in transparency.
  • Starting salary for this role is $120,000 - $140,000 USD (or equivalent in local currency) depending on experience and subject to market rate adjustment.
  • We know our people are what make us great, and we're committed to taking great care of them.
  • No gotchas, no trick questions - just a clear, human process designed to help both of us make an informed decision.
  • Recruiter Screen (30 minutes)
  • Hiring Manager Interview (45 minutes)

Benefits

  • Our inclusive benefits package supports your well-being and growth, including 100% coverage of medical, dental, vision, mental health, and supplemental insurance premiums for you and your family.
