Job description

Neara is a high-growth, venture-backed Series C, tech company headquartered in Sydney. We have eight years of experience working with large utilities across the globe and are focused on growing across the US and Europe, with rapid adoption occurring over the last 3 years. Our mission is to revolutionize the utility industry by helping them future-proof their infrastructure and navigate the challenges of the grid improvements and adapting technology to facilitate the clean energy transition. Our 3D digital engineering network model enables utilities to visualize their entire network and simulate likely scenarios to inform decisions that will protect their assets and our communities.

We are excited to hire our next Customer Success Director in Europe to support our growing team and client base from our main base in London. As our Customer Success Director, you will work on industry-changing challenges, build strong client relationships and manage projects while working closely with sales, deployment, product and engineering to ensure customers are receiving the greatest value from our platform. You will oversee the management of the deployment and customer success team across a variety of technical and relationship management team members. Driving value for the client is key. To achieve this, you will need to understand the critical challenges they face and translate these into concrete project outputs while managing the delivery with your team. Aim to strengthen the client relationship, increase usage and ROI of the platform while monitoring the commercial aspects of account growth.

Our training is fast-paced, designed to bring you up-to-speed on our software along with our related processes and client relations. This position will require a large amount of self-directed learning to be proficient in understanding the industry, our products, and the value it offers.

We're looking for someone who can think critically and solve complex problems and manage a team. While utility and infrastructure experience is highly valuable, we're more interested in your ability to analyse situations, identify key issues, and implement effective solutions in similar organisations and challenges. We welcome applications from professionals across Europe, with a particular interest in candidates located in France, Germany, Spain, United Kingdom, and Belgium.
