Ziina is hiring a Senior Partner Success Specialist to scale our relationship-led merchant experience. You’ll own white-glove engagement for our users building context fast, navigating complexity, resolving escalations with confidence, and feeding high-quality signals back to product to shape what we build next. This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives where there’s no script: edge cases, ambiguity, and high expectations.
Our operating model is AI-assisted but human-led. This hire is critical to scaling Partner Success without losing the trust, continuity and care that define the experience today. We’re looking for someone with a track record across relationship management, automation-first thinking, and data-driven execution in a product-led environment.
At your core, you combine:
- High-stakes customer engagement with strong communication and ownership
- Operational sharpness - systems, workflows, and automation that scale outcomes
- Own merchant relationships delivering white-glove support with speed, clarity and care
- Lead complex problem-solving and escalations - managing sensitive cases end-to-end
- Build automated workflows tied to the user journey to nurture and grow the segment
- Turn repeatable workflows into reliable playbooks, templates, and AI-assisted operations
- Run recurring success workflows including onboarding check-ins, feature education, adoption nudges and targeted engagement
- Spot churn signals early, intervene thoughtfully, and partner with internal teams to resolve root causes
- Translate customer feedback into product insights, surfacing trends and opportunities for Ziina’s voice-of-customer program
- Build and maintain dashboards that track merchant health, support performance and identify high impact growth opportunities
- Partner cross-functionally with Product, Risk, Ops, and Engineering to unblock merchants and improve outcomes
- Support Arabic-speaking merchants with culturally fluent communication
- Raise the bar on Partner Success by contributing to a high-performance culture rooted in quality, ownership, and customer care
- Have 4+ years in Customer Success or Account Management, ideally in a fast-paced tech or fintech environment
- Have a strong track record managing high-value customers through complexity, sensitivity, and escalations
- Combine a customer-first mindset with commercial awareness — you understand retention, adoption, and why partner success is a growth lever
- Naturally build structure around you: OKRs, workflows, automations, and measurable outcomes
- Are data-fluent and use dashboards and metrics to prioritize high-impact work, spot risks, and improve retention
- Have a bias for action — you move fast, learn quickly, and iterate without waiting for perfect clarity
- Know when to automate and when to stay hands-on, balancing high-touch support with scalable systems
- Are fluent in Arabic (spoken and written) with excellent English communication skills
- You have experience with product-led growth motions and know how to use in-product signals to drive proactive engagement
- You've worked directly with a voice-of-customer or product feedback program and can show how your insights shaped roadmap decisions
- You bring a point of view on how AI tools should (and shouldn't) be used in customer-facing workflows
