The Role
About SugarAI
SugarAI is redefining CRM for the age of AI.
We’re delivering on the original promise of CRM—turning fragmented customer and revenue signals into clear, prioritized action. Instead of more dashboards or surface-level insights, we help teams focus on what matters most and know exactly what to do next.
More than two decades after our founding, we’re entering a new chapter with clarity and momentum—building intelligent, intuitive solutions that work within the flow of how teams actually sell and serve. We’re focused on solving complex, real-world challenges where relationships, context, and precision make all the difference.
Our global team is united by a shared commitment to impact, ownership, and continuous growth. We create an environment where thoughtful ideas move quickly, where people are trusted to lead, and where flexibility supports how great work gets done.
If you’re excited to help shape what’s next in AI-driven CRM—and build technology that drives real outcomes—we’d love to meet you.
About the Role

- Establish and enforce a structured risk identification framework, including early-warning indicators and mitigation plans at least two quarters in advance of renewal.
- Coach and enable CSMs to operate as revenue stewards, ensuring commercial conversations occur well in advance of renewal events and help support expansion conversations that drive both customer value and SugarCRM revenue.
- Collaborate with your CSMs, Professional Services, Support and Marketing teams to identify and drive growth opportunities within your customer base to hit annual growth targets
- Partner closely with Sales and CS leadership to ensure growth and renewal forecast alignment, transparency, and executive visibility of risks, changes and opportunities

- Maintain disciplined CRM hygiene and forecast documentation standards across the team
- Develop deep product knowledge, stay informed about product updates, features, and capabilities, and effectively communicate value propositions to the CSM team and customers to drive product adoption and usage.
What You Will Bring:
- 8+ years of customer success or account management experience and at least 3+ years of people management experience
- In-depth understanding of CRM software and the B2B SaaS industry

- Experience driving continuous improvement initiatives, implementing best practices, leveraging customer feedback, and advocating for product enhancements or operational improvements to enhance the overall customer experience and maximize customer success outcomes
- Demonstrative success monitoring and analyzing customer health metrics, usage patterns, and feedback to identify trends, proactively address potential issues, and develop strategies to enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty
- Experience generating reports, dashboards, and insights on customer success metrics, retention rates, renewal forecasts, and revenue growth to inform decision-making, measure performance, and optimize customer success initiatives
