A position is currently open within the Customer Success team. 

The role

You own the business side of enterprise accounts in US & EMEA: strategy, growth and the executive relationship. A dedicated Digital Project Manager runs operational delivery with you, in a true duo. Your job is to be the trusted advisor sponsors call first.

You manage a portfolio of 10 to 25 enterprise accounts in a genuinely high-touch model: recurring senior-level touchpoints per account, direct relationships with Directors and C-levels, and full ownership of the commercial cycle from qualification to closing.

What you will do

Relationships and sponsorship

• Build and maintain trust with senior client stakeholders over months, with a proactive cadence per account: you re-engage silent sponsors instead of waiting for the renewal.
• Map each account's governance (sponsor, project teams, regional stakeholders, IT, HR) and open doors when contacts change or go quiet.
• Lead Steering Committees and business reviews with executive stakeholders.

Commercial ownership

• Own renewals end to end: anticipate dates months ahead, build the business case, negotiate terms and close.
• Identify and qualify upsell and cross-sell opportunities with a structured methodology, then run the full cycle in autonomy.
• Turn project data into outcome narratives aligned with each client's business stakes: ROI, adoption, impact.

Execution with your DPM

• Review and prioritize your portfolio by value, risk and renewal proximity, and arbitrate your agenda accordingly.
• Detect churn signals early (usage drops, sponsor silence, stakeholder turnover) and drive the action plan.
• Keep a proactive two-way sync with your Digital Project Manager so delivery serves each client's business goals.nce

What we are looking for

This role can be a strong fit if you enjoy owning both the relationship and the revenue: building executive trust that lasts through difficult project phases, and running the full commercial cycle yourself. We are looking for someone who treats a client portfolio as a business to grow, with the discipline of account care and the reflexes of a closer.

🚀 Required experience and skills

• You have at least 5 years of experience managing enterprise client portfolios in B2B SaaS, as a Customer Success Manager, Strategic Account Manager, or an Account Executive with genuine account management ownership.
• You have personally owned the full sales cycle: renewals, upsell, cross-sell, negotiation and closing. You have deals where you ran the negotiation and the close yourself.
• You have managed a high-touch portfolio of 10 to 25 accounts with a structured, recurring, senior-level cadence per account. 
• You qualify and run long, complex cycles with a structured methodology (MEDDIC, BANT, SPIN or equivalent), and you can show how it changed a real deal.
• You have built and sustained direct relationships with Directors and C-levels over 12 months or more, beyond operational contacts, including through difficult project phases.
• You turn project data into business narratives: you select the indicators that matter to your client's stakes (ROI, adoption, impact) instead of reporting raw activity.
• You have worked with US & EMEA based enterprise clients and international stakeholders.
• You speak and write English at a C2 level. Concise, structured, impactful communication is verified at every step, and the entire hiring process runs in English.

💡 What will help you succeed in this role

• Sustained relationship building. You create trust quickly and maintain it over months: proactive cadence, re-engaging silent sponsors, staying present at Director and C-level rather than retreating to operational contacts.
• Proactivity. You anticipate needs, risks and opportunities before the client raises them, and you detect churn signals early.
• Prioritization. You take height on your portfolio regularly, rank accounts by value, risk and renewal proximity, and arbitrate your own agenda accordingly.
• Team play in a duo. You work as a true pair with a Project Manager: proactive mutual information, respect for their constraints, shared focus on the client's business goals. Prior experience of a CSM and PM duo model is a plus.
• Humility and coachability. You self-assess honestly and integrate feedback fast.
• Domain and tooling exposure. Internal communications, employee advocacy or engagement knowledge, CS tooling (Gainsight, Planhat or equivalent), BI dashboards, or frontline-worker and manufacturing client contexts are all pluses, none is required.
