The Role
The Customer Success Manager will play a critical role in the success and growth of FURTHER through the retention, expansion and growth of the existing customer base. Customers will sign, stay and grow with FURTHER not just because of the value that they get from the platform but because of how the FURTHER Customer Success team partners with their customers and serves as an extension of their teams. The Customer Success Managers at FURTHER will report to the Head of Customer Success and will work closely with the Support, Product and Sales teams.
The number one priority of a Further Customer Success Manager is customer retention, and you will achieve this through the following areas:
Customer service: this is a service-oriented role versus a quota-bearing one. Building and developing relationships with a variety of personas is a critical part of the job. You are savvy, caring, professional, and empathetic.
Product expertise: as an expert in the Further platform, you are technically astute and create product-based solutions. You build trust and credibility with your customers and become the go-to person for all things Further.
Consultative approach: you connect the dots between customer problems and technology solutions, and proactively strategize with your customers. You are curious, break down walls, work cross functionally to solve problems, and surface “what is possible”.
Experimentation and data analysis: you understand the power of data and iteration when driving high-level business outcomes. You don’t shy away from the unknown and demonstrate a propensity to act through experimentation and gain real world data versus theorizing and over-planning.
Self-starter in a startup environment: you work well autonomously, and don’t need comprehensive support or infrastructure to learn, grow and thrive. You’re looking for opportunities to grow, and don’t hesitate to roll up your sleeves and make an impact by wearing multiple hats.
The Customer Success Manager reports to the Vice President, Customer Success, and will work cross-functionally with other customer-facing teams including Sales, Solutions Architects, and Customer Support.
