The purpose of the Customer Success Manager role is: 

The Customer Success Manager (CSM) is responsible for establishing and scaling Customer Success in a region where the function is newly introduced. The role focuses on helping customers get value quickly, building strong foundations for long term relationships, and embedding Customer Success as a trusted and visible part of the customer experience. 

Working closely with Sales in a highly active growth region, the CSM supports a growing portfolio of newly onboarded and existing customers. The focus is on driving adoption, retention, and customer confidence, while ensuring customers feel supported, understood, and connected to the full value of ACI’s solutions from day one. 

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building something new, thrives in fastmoving environments, and is comfortable to manage customers at different stages of maturity. The CSM brings structure and consistency to customer engagement while adapting quickly to the needs of a rapidly expanding customer base. 

The CSM owns ongoing account management and structured account planning, with a strong emphasis on onboarding, early lifecycle success, and account stabilization. This includes building relationships across customer stakeholders and, where appropriate, helping establish executive level connections between customers and ACI leadership. 

From a commercial perspective, the CSM plays an important role in supporting growth in a sales driven region. By understanding customer goals, usage, and account health, the CSM helps protect revenue and identify expansion potential. The CSM uses account insights to identify growth opportunities and either leads the commercial conversation or partners with sales as needed.
