Responsibilities

  • Serve as the single point of customer accountability responsible for the overall adoption of Mulesoft, the orchestration of all Signature deliverables, customer experience, renewals and expansion.

  • Cultivate and maintain stakeholder relationships with the customer's IT and business executive leadership, sponsors, and decision-makers within customer organisations that have purchased Signature.

  • Help your customers achieve their business goals and outcomes on the MuleSoft platform by:

    • Coordinating the completion of the Signature Success catalog of services as required for your customer.

  • Communicate the value of Signature Success and Mulesoft. Be accountable for ensuring all collaborators understand this value so customers can renew Signature Success.

  • Act as an advocate for customers during the triage and resolution of high-severity cases to assist with the timely resolution of these issues.

  • The CSM may be required for occasional travel to customer sites, depending on the customer's need.

You will be expected to drive customer health and adoption scores, Signature renewal rates, attrition avoidance, and expansion pipeline contribution.
Required Qualifications

  • Minimum of 7 years of work experience including demonstrated hands-on experience with MuleSoft or an equivalent iPaaS/integration platform, complemented by one or more of the following: Technical Customer Success, project leadership, change management, technology solutions development, technical solutions, and/or solutions architecture.

  • Experience with MuleSoft and/or a relevant competing platform or integration, with the ability to independently build and deliver product demonstrations to technical and executive audiences.

  • Demonstrated commercial acumen — proven ability to manage renewal risk, identify expansion signals, and partner with sales to protect and grow the customer's MuleSoft footprint. Comfort navigating value conversations with economic buyers.

  • Industry expertise — familiarity with one or more key Italian/Southern European verticals: manufacturing, utilities, financial services, insurance, or retail. Ability to speak the customer's business language beyond technical topics.

  • MuleSoft platform depth — MuleSoft certifications (Integration Architect, Platform Architect, or Developer) are a strong plus. Hands-on experience with Anypoint Platform (design, deploy, monitor) enables more credible advisory conversations with customer technical teams.

  • Multilingual — Italian is required. English is mandatory. Additional language skills (Spanish, French, or Arabic) are an asset given the breadth of the South EMEA operating unit.

  • Pre-sales or solution engineering exposure — prior experience in a pre-sales, solution engineering, or technical advisory capacity is a plus. The ability to run a compelling product demonstration and articulate business value in a sales context strengthens the CSM's ability to support renewal and expansion conversations.

  • Project and programme management — familiarity with structured delivery methodologies (Agile, SAFe, PMI). Ability to hold customers accountable to a success plan and manage multiple concurrent workstreams.
