Customer Success Manager

We are seeking an experienced and commercially minded Customer Success Manager (Strategic Accounts) to manage a portfolio of our most important enterprise customers across Australia and New Zealand.

• Coordinate internal resources to ensure successful delivery of customer initiatives and outcomes.
• Maintain accurate account plans, customer engagement records, renewal forecasts and opportunity pipelines in CRM systems.
