About the role – Drive growth by proactively helping users achieve their goals

Our number one priority in who we are looking for us someone who cares about helping customers. Someone who loves building relationships and leveraging those relationships to help drive their success. As a Product Led Growth Company, many of our customers come through our self service tool, and have time to evaluate and use the tool first. We have a mature customer support function which supports the many thousands of customers we have, but we reserve our CSMs for the accounts that have higher ACVs and are using YCBM across bigger teams.

This means your relationship starts with customers as soon as they create accounts and we can see they'll benefit from additional support from us.  Ongoing, expect to be their champion and coach in how to get the best out of YCBM. 

As a core member of the Customer department, you’ll become an expert in the product and work with the product and engineering teams to help uncover and fix issues which affect your customers.

We would like someone to join us who has at least 2 years experience as a CSM in a SaaS company and wants to stretch their wings in their next role. This is a chance to work with a small but experienced and senior team, with an opportunity to grow and develop alongside them.

What we'd expect you to be doing in the first three months
  • We will put you through a deep dive training programme on our product - including joining the customer support agents in our help desk every day answering tickets and getting to know your way around
  • We will also expect you to get to immerse yourself in Totango, the software we are currently integrating to manage larger customer accounts so we can scale our support them
  • Team culture is really important - we'd expect you to make time to get to know your new colleagues and learn about their roles and how the Customer team works alongside PMs, Designers and Engineers to keep YCBM growing and customers happy
  • Expect to read a lot of documentation on our internal KB (Notion) as well as getting stuck in helping on the various ongoing projects we have communicating with our customers
  • By the end of the first 3 months we'd expect you to be up and running with a good working knowledge of the tool, our team, our customers, how we communicate with everyone, our priorities and how you need to put your skills to good use to make an impact. We'd expect to see a few customer 'wins' that you had driven forward, and start to see you being able to confidently own your own process and priorities each day.

What you'd expect to be doing within 12 months
  • After your initial onboarding, we'd expect you to take responsibility for a 'book of business' which means getting to know and understand a subset of our customers who we are offering account managed support.
  • You'll set and own targets for this group to report on expansion and retention in weekly meetings.
  • You'll be addicted to Totango and how you can use that tool to automate and scale your customers' communication, track health scores, and be where your customer needs you to be.
  • You'll be involved in delivering onboarding and support to new customers who fit our criteria for account management, and be an advocate for them when it comes to taking product development decisions.
  • You'll work with the rest of the customer and growth team on a daily basis to co-ordinate your work and activities with the whole team, to deliver the 90 Day Rocks and targets that have been agreed at a strategic level.
  • You'll be an expert on the tool - and the team member who is always the first to jump in and try and understand anything that is happening to a customer and why.
  • You'll conduct regular catch ups, business reviews and calls with your larger account customers to keep in touch with them and how they use the tool.
  • You’ll be responsible for maintaining up-to-date documentation of their use case, feature requests, payment and legal requirements, organizational and account structure requirements, and emergency and champion contact information.
  • You’ll proactively engage in renewal conversations with each of your customers, ensuring they get exactly what they need from their annual plans. 
  • You’ll be responsible for protecting customer data by following and enforcing our privacy and security policies. 
  • You’ll report your efforts to your customers in regular account review and strategy meetings at the cadence of the customer’s choosing, with at least one report per quarter.
  • You’ll spot accounts ready to expand, and you’ll stay ahead of churn signals, proactively reaching out to customers to capitalize on expansion opportunities and to retain customers who may be at risk of churn.
