Overview of the Role

The Customer Success team within Signature Success is looking for a driven and customer-focused Customer Success Manager (CSM) to serve as a primary point of contact for Salesforce's largest and highest-profile customers. You will partner with a small portfolio of assigned accounts, maintaining a continual focus on customers' business goals to improve their overall technical and operational health and help them realise maximum value from their Salesforce investment.

As a trusted advisor, you will build a track record in customer success through excellent communication and extensive knowledge of the Salesforce platform — translating business needs into solutions. You will forge strong relationships with customers and account teams, develop a deep technical understanding of their Salesforce implementation, and champion proactive services and best practices. These activities will enable you to proactively set customers up for success through platform optimisation, with particular care during critically important peak events.

You will occasionally act as a point of contact during major incidents, owning customer expectations and communications through to resolution. The CSM acts as the technical primary interface on behalf of customers, working closely across internal and external collaborators — including partners and ISVs — to address customer needs.

The ideal CSM has an extraordinary focus on customer success, is an exceptional communicator, exhibits professionalism, is dedicated to meeting and exceeding expectations, enjoys building relationships, has excellent collaboration skills, and can learn new technologies quickly. Responsibilities
