About the role

The Customer Success team is primarily responsible for facilitating strong and value-oriented customer relationships, driving customer growth through expansion and upsells and for customer retention. 

Optery is looking for a Customer Success Manager that will be responsible for managing a portfolio of business while driving adoption and retention and as well as acting as a point of escalation. The Customer Success Manager is the single point of contact for the customer and is responsible for coordinating, interacting, and working with cross-departmental teams to ensure customer satisfaction across multiple platforms, products, and services.

This is done through working in these areas of focus:

Key Performance Objective #1: Retention Rate & Expansion

  • Build and maintain strong relationships with assigned customers through regular check-ins, ensuring high customer satisfaction.
  • Proactively identify and address potential risks, such as product issues or underutilization, that may lead to churn.

  • Identify and nurture upsell and cross-sell opportunities within the customer base.
  • Regularly review customer accounts to identify expansion potential, offering tailored solutions to increase product adoption.

Key Performance Objective #2: Customer Health & Advocacy

  • Conduct quarterly business reviews (QBRs) with customers to assess their satisfaction and alignment with strategic goals.
  • Develop customer success plans that outline key metrics, milestones, and success criteria for customers.
  • Encourage and facilitate customer participation in case studies, testimonials, or reference programs.
  • Leverage customer health metrics to prioritize accounts requiring additional attention or engagement.
  • Drive the adoption of new product features and updates to enhance the customer’s experience and outcomes.

  • Proactively manage the renewal process, ensuring that contracts are renewed on time and with the best possible terms.
  • Collaborate with the customer and internal teams to discuss renewal pricing, contract modifications, and upsell opportunities during the renewal cycle.
