Lead Customer Success Manager
Posted Updated
Description
- The mission of the Senior Customer Success Manager (Senior CSM) is to serve as a senior, trusted point of contact for program staff and executive stakeholders across Binti’s highest-complexity public and private agency accounts.
- Senior CSMs partner with Strategic Partnership Leads (SPLs) to own of Super Enterprise and Enterprise accounts — leading Executive Business Reviews, account strategy, and relationship management
- Beyond their own book of business, Senior CSMs raise the bar for the whole Customer Success team: mentoring and coaching other CSMs, contributing to the playbooks and processes the team runs on, and representing Customer Success in cross-functional strategic initiatives
- Own the relationship for Binti’s high-complexity Super Enterprise and Enterprise accounts, partnering with Strategic Partnership Leads to drive account strategy
- Lead Executive Business Reviews independently for your accounts, including preparing the data and narrative
- Take ownership of the highest-risk and highest-visibility escalations across the team — and drive them to resolution
- Mentor and coach other CSMs, sharing account strategy, negotiation, and executive-communication skills
- Contribute directly to Customer Success playbooks, processes, and enablement materials, helping define how the team operates
- Identify complex account expansion opportunities — additional users, additional modules, new sub-agencies — in collaboration with SPLs
- Manage contract renewal cycles for your accounts, helping negotiate and close renewals with a customer-by-customer strategy
- Own success metrics for your book of business — customer satisfaction, NPS, renewals, account growth, and churn — and contribute to the metrics and standards the broader team is held to
- SAMPLE PROJECTS;
- Lead Executive Business Reviews (EBRs) independently, on a predetermined cadence, for your portfolio of Super Enterprise and Enterprise accounts
- Assess account health across your book, identify retention and growth strategies, and execute them without needing significant oversight
- Partner directly with customers and cross-functional Binti teams to refine and improve workflows, optimizing templates as requirements change
- Lead a data cleanup or workflow optimization initiative for a customer, coordinating across Binti teams to execute it
- Identify and drive complex upsell opportunities in collaboration with SPLs and other Binti teams
- Take on a team-facing initiative — for example, mentoring 1-2 newer CSMs, leading a playbook or process improvement, or owning a piece of team enablement content — as a recurring part of the role, not a one-off ask
