Key Skills

Customer Success Strategic Account Management Revenue Retention E-commerce Fraud Prevention Cross-functional Collaboration Data-driven Insights Upselling and Expansion Stakeholder Management

Dear Hiring Team,

I am writing to express my strong interest in the Principal Customer Success Manager position at Signifyd. With over 5 years of experience in strategic customer success within the e-commerce and payments industry, I have a proven track record of driving net revenue retention and expansion for large accounts. My background in business administration and my hands-on experience with fraud prevention technologies align perfectly with your requirement for a commercially minded trusted advisor.

In my previous role, I successfully managed relationships with top-tier merchants, consistently exceeding upsell targets and reducing churn through proactive engagement and data-driven insights. I am adept at translating complex technical concepts into business value and aligning cross-functional teams to deliver measurable outcomes. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am passionate about empowering fearless commerce.

I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to Signifyd's mission and would welcome the chance to discuss how my skills can drive success for your strategic accounts. Thank you for considering my application.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]

Can you describe your experience managing strategic accounts in the e-commerce or payments industry?
I have managed top-tier accounts for over 5 years, focusing on driving net revenue retention and expansion. For example, at my previous company, I oversaw a portfolio of 10 key accounts, achieving 120% of upsell targets and reducing churn by 15% through proactive engagement and tailored success plans.
How do you approach aligning a merchant's business goals with Signifyd's technical capabilities?
I start by deeply understanding the merchant's objectives and pain points through regular meetings and data analysis. Then, I collaborate with our product and engineering teams to map Signifyd's features to their needs, often creating custom success milestones. I also act as a bridge, translating technical jargon into business value for the client.
Give an example of a time you identified and capitalized on an expansion opportunity within a strategic account.
In one instance, I noticed a client was using only our basic fraud detection service. Through quarterly business reviews, I identified they had growing cross-border sales, which our advanced machine learning models could optimize. I presented a business case showing potential revenue increase, leading to a 30% upsell and improved client satisfaction.
How do you handle a situation where a merchant's internal assumptions are hindering their success?
I use data to challenge assumptions respectfully. For example, a client believed their high decline rate was due to fraud, but my analysis showed many were false positives. I presented evidence and suggested rule adjustments, which reduced declines by 20% without increasing fraud, building trust and improving outcomes.
Describe your experience with fraud prevention technologies and how you leverage them in customer success.
I have hands-on experience with machine learning-based fraud detection and device fingerprinting. In my previous role, I used these insights to help merchants optimize their rules and reduce false declines. I also provided feedback to product teams on feature gaps, influencing roadmap priorities to better meet client needs.

Department: Strategic Customer Success

The Strategic Customer Success team is responsible for driving success, net revenue retention, and expansion within our largest customer portfolio. This involves proactively engaging existing merchants, mitigating churn risks, and onboarding new clients. Our team members are experts in the fraud, e-commerce, and payments landscape, collaborating closely with Sales, Product, Implementation, and Risk teams to ensure an exceptional customer experience. We are a results-oriented group focused on delivering significant value and achieving our collective and individual targets.

The Role:

As a Strategic Customer Success Manager, you will own the success of Signifyd’s most complex and strategic accounts in the EMEAregion. You are not a passive relationship manager; you are a proactive, revenue-owning partner and a “trusted advisor”.

You will report to the Director of Customer Success EMEA and will work closely with Signifyd GM EMEA and VP Strategic Customer Success in the US.

Success in this role requires an expert relationship builder who can align stakeholders at the highest levels—both within the customer’s organization and internally at Signifyd—to execute a long-term strategy that delivers specific business outcomes. 

We are looking for candidates who fit one of two primary profiles:

  • A foundational background in Business Administration, Business Intelligence (BI), or Product Management, but have intentionally transitioned into a high-impact, relationship-driven commercial role (Account Management, Customer Success)
  • First-hand experience running payments, e-commerce or fraud prevention program at a large European company and understanding the internal pressures and technical hurdles our clients face daily.

Regardless of your path, you must be commercially minded, acting as a high-level intermediary who ensures Signifyd’s technical delivery aligns perfectly with the merchant’s business needs.

Responsibilities:

  • Strategic & Commercial Ownership: Own the end-to-end relationship for high-value accounts, ensuring strategic alignment between their business goals and Signifyd’s platform.
  • Commercial Growth: Operate with a “sales mindset” to identify and capitalize on expansion, upsell, and cross-sell opportunities.
  • Technical Translation: Act as a critical intermediary between the merchant’s business needs and Signifyd’s technical teams , ensuring what we deliver aligns with the client’s actual business requirements.
  • Consultative Challenge: Proactively keep client teams aligned and provide rigorous, data-backed challenges to their internal assumptions to drive better outcomes.
  • Face-to-Face Engagement:
    • Europe: Conduct frequent onsite visits to maintain deep, local alignment with key stakeholders
    • Signifyd London HQ: available to attend team or All Hands meetings as required 
  • Product Influence: Leverage a deep understanding of fraud detection technologies (Machine Learning, device fingerprinting) to translate complex data into actionable insights and influence Signifyd’s product roadmap.
  • Outcome Realization: Focus on reducing “time-to-value” for new initiatives and exceeding mutually agreed-upon success criteria

Requirements: 

  • Experience: 5+ years of success in senior enterprise SaaS roles, or account management managing strategic accounts.
  • Technical Background: Previous professional experience in Data Science, BI, Analytics, or Product Management is highly preferred.
  • Domain Expertise: A deep understanding of the ecommerce, fraud, or payments landscape is essential.
  • Executive Presence: Proven track record of presenting to and negotiating with CxO-level executives, with the ability to hold a narrative that leads to growth.
  • Commercial Acumen: Proven ability to manage complex sales cycles and achieve revenue targets through retention and expansion.
  • Travel: Ability to travel frequently (1-2 trips a month)
  • Program Management: Strong capability in resource orchestration and planning for a portfolio of engagements, ensuring the operational health of deployed solutions.

Our UK benefits:

  • Stock Options
  • Annual Performance Bonus or Commissions
  • Pension matched up to 8%
  • ‘Day one’ access to great health, dental and optical insurance scheme 
  • Generous annual leave plus public holidays
