Why Join?

This is genuinely a lovely set-up with friendly people and a pleasant working environment. Beyond the excellent benefits package, this is an exciting opportunity to join at a key stage of growth, taking real ownership of customer relationships while helping shape Customer Success as the function evolves. It offers genuine autonomy, real account ownership, long-term progression and the opportunity to make a visible impact within a supportive business where your contribution will be valued.

The Role

Working closely with the Product Account Manager, you'll take ownership of the customer journey within a customer-facing technology environment. From legal contract handover onwards, you'll become the primary point of contact for your customer portfolio, managing onboarding and implementation, driving product adoption, reviewing customer usage and supporting long-term account retention.

You'll be trusted to work autonomously, manage your own workload and take full ownership of contracted accounts - ensuring strong customer engagement, proactively identifying risks and identifying opportunities to strengthen account value.

Approximately 65% of customers are UK based, with occasional UK travel and rare international travel required as part of the role. Full product training will be provided.

Key Responsibilities

• Managing seamless handover from sales through to successful implementation
• Coordinating customer setup, access and operational readiness
• Delivering customer training remotely and onsite
• Managing legal and operational documentation
• Acting as the primary escalation point for customers
• Running regular account reviews and customer check-ins
• Reviewing customer usage and account performance
• Proactively identifying risks to customer satisfaction and retention
• Monitoring account health and engagement
• Identifying opportunities to strengthen account value
• Supporting customer adoption and long-term account success
• Acting as the internal voice of the customer
• Collaborating with Product, Support, Installation and operational teams
• Driving issue resolution and service excellence

What We're Looking For

• Previous experience in Customer Success, Account Management, Client Services or similar customer ownership roles
• The ability to work autonomously and manage your own workload effectively
• A driven, determined and accountable approach
• Strong organisational discipline and attention to detail
• Commercial awareness and confidence reviewing customer usage and account performance
• A proactive mindset with the ability to spot risks and opportunities early
• A desire to contribute, influence and help shape a growing function

Previous experience working within a customer-facing technology or SaaS environment would be highly advantageous, but is not essential.

If you're looking for a Customer Success role focused on nurturing existing relationships, driving customer value and making a meaningful contribution within an innovative technology-led business - not sales hunting - we'd love to hear from you.
