  • Develop processes in the lens of value and customer experience. Institute scale and automation in order to accomplish more with less over time.
  • Customer Management:
  • Ensure a thorough grasp of adoption metrics across the customer base and collaborate with CSMs to devise actionable plans for mitigating churn risk and promoting account expansion.
  • Conduct account deep dives to drive adoption and account level objectives.
  • Stay informed about escalated accounts, take charge in resolving issues, offer leadership support to the team and customers as needed, and provide regular updates to senior leadership.
  • Client Engagement and Advocacy:
  • Work closely with customers to understand their unique requirements and challenges.
  • Build strong client relationships at the Executive level to understand their workflow, prioritize Chainguard engagements, drive customer satisfaction and position account growth.
  • Serve as the voice of the customer within the organization, providing insights and feedback to drive product improvements and innovations
  • Retention and Growth:
  • Collaborate with GTM, Product, and Engineering teams to drive adoption, customer retention, and growth.
  • Utilize insights from customer adoption data to develop precise renewal forecasts. Collaborate closely with the sales team to generate a weekly forecast aggregation, projecting at least six months into the future.
  • Continuous Improvement:
  • Implement and refine operational processes to enhance efficiency and effectiveness within the CSM team and engagement model.
  • Monitor industry trends and best practices to stay ahead of market demands.

  • Demonstrated success in building and scaling CSM functions.
  • In-depth knowledge of project management methodologies and practices.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to engage with both internal teams and external clients and executive level personas

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing
