Occupation
Customer success manager
Customer success managers work with existing customers after purchase to make sure they actually get value from what they bought, and therefore stay. The role combines onboarding and training with usage monitoring, proactive check-ins, and renewal conversations. It requires enough product knowledge to be useful and enough commercial awareness to know when to escalate.
