About the Role
We’re hiring a Customer Success Manager (CSM) / Account Manager to own client relationships, drive product adoption, and protect + grow revenue.

6. Reporting & Feedback Loop
• Track and report:

What Makes You a Strong Fit
• You think in revenue (retention + expansion), not just support
