Ruby helps businesses deliver exceptional experiences to their customers through our live reception and chat offerings. Our customers are predominantly small business owners, and our solutions help them freely pursue their purpose, cultivating diverse and thriving local economies. Over the past 19 years we’ve become the nationwide market leader in virtual receptionist and online chat services.

Overview 

As a Customer Success-focused organization, we know that investing in our small business customers and boosting their engagement can not only foster growth and meaningful connections but can increase our customers’ lifetime value. In 2018 we started a Customer Success Manager (CSM) proof of concept to test the theory that with concerted efforts of proactive communication and personal ownership of a customer’s success, we could significantly decrease customer churn. The proof was in the pudding! After seeing retention rates and customer experience improved, we made the CSM role a permanent fixture of the CS Organization and continue to invest in and expand this team to guide our customers successfully through their Ruby journeys.  

The Customer Success Manager role requires not only a thorough knowledge of our services, products, and support systems, but also the ability to help our customers envision and achieve their own unique versions of success with Ruby solutions in a month-to-month subscription model. A fantastic career opportunity for experienced CSMs and Ruby Problem Solver & Happiness Makers, new members of the team hit the ground running acting as growth accelerators and trusted advisors to their assigned customer base.

This position reports to the Director, Customer Success and can be located remotely within our operating states, or from our Portland, OR or Kansas City, MO offices.

What You’ll Be Accountable For 

  • Own a portfolio of Ruby customers, ensuring their success, connection to Ruby’s value, and trust in our products and services, with a laser focus on retention and long-term customer growth.
  • Meet or exceed Monthly Recurring Revenue retention targets and specific activity targets (e.g. proactive calls, NPS, connections, follow-ups) while meeting CS department standards for response times and SLAs.
  • Take ownership of our company’s retention goals by proactively identifying, escalating, and resolving churn risk, as well as retain customers when a cancel is requested.
  • Exercise a variety of tactics, including building customer success plans and quarterly reviews, and proactively communicating via scheduled calls, video conferences, and email to educate customers, solve problems, and drive engagement with Ruby products and services, e.g. Chat, mobile/web app adoption, porting, etc.
  • Foster and leverage genuine relationships with customers to create Ruby advocates, build a pool of willing participants for marketing campaigns, promote word of mouth referrals, and generate and close cross-sell opportunities.
  • Evaluate where engagement and feature adoption are lacking, and design strategies for converting customers to Ruby super-users.
  • Be the voice of Ruby customers, soliciting feedback and sharing their requests to inform cross-functional initiatives to improve customer experience and increase their lifetime value with Ruby.
  • Stay up to date on Ruby’s processes and offerings, as well as industry and Customer Success best practices, and regularly share learnings and collaborate with teammates to help shape future playbooks.
