Are you excited by the idea of helping innovative thought leaders grow successful businesses through education? Do you tend to dream big right alongside your customers and do whatever it takes to help them reach their goals? We’re fanatical about customer success and we’re looking for a Customer Success Manager to join us at Thinkific!
As a Customer Success Manager you’ll support our high-value customers in getting the most value from Thinkific. You’ll help them level-up their business through recommending best practices, teaching them how to use the platform more effectively, troubleshooting technical issues, and supporting the ongoing growth of their online course business over time. Reporting to the Senior Manager, Customer Success, you will ensure our high-value customers always experience unparalleled support throughout their entire journey with Thinkific.
Your goal will be to create lasting customer relationships to grow Thinkific’s Plus business line, drive expansion opportunities, and retain customers. Here’s how you will accomplish this:
- Help high monthly recurring revenue (MRR) Thinkific Plus clients (new and existing) level-up on Thinkific through the use of strategic account planning and individual client success plans
- Create strong customer relationships within your portfolio to lead customers through their annual renewals, identify ‘at risk’ customers, and find potential revenue expansion opportunities
- Work cross-functionally with internal teams to maintain, and improve customer health, Net Promoter Score (NPS) and value perception
- Interpret and solve technical questions (with assistance from our support and engineering teams when necessary), and escalate bugs as neede
- Liaise with the Sales and Implementations teams for a seamless customer transition
- Make personalized recommendations to customers and guide them towards successful use of our product by adding or proving value; offer alternative and impactful solutions if Thinkific does not meet their exact need
- Maintain excellent Salesforce hygiene, so all Customer Success team members have access to the same important client information
- Collect feedback and act as the voice of customer—you’ll advocate for their needs first and work closely with our product manager to scope out future features
The person we have in mind likely:
- Has 2+ years in an account manager or customer success role, preferably in a B2B SaaS environment with basic technical knowledge
- Is proactive and eager to help—they’re only happy when their customers are happy!
- Is unafraid to go above and beyond their general range of duties to ensure success (you’ve never said “that’s not my job!”)
- Possesses high levels of empathy and patience, and has strong persuasion skills to easily find win-win resolutions
- Has strong communication skills, both written and verbal
- Has an uncanny ability to notice trends and foresee issues—they proactively act to make improvements where necessary
- Is comfortable managing customer expectations through good times and bad
- Is exceptionally detail oriented and organized—they don’t let anything slip through the cracks!
- Loves to learn and grow. They’ve found (and keep looking for) ways to level up their skills in this field, whether that’s through formal education, gaining professional experience, or maybe even building their own business
These things would also be nice, but we think you could learn them on the job:
- Experience with negotiating partnership agreements
- Have an understanding of marketing, learning management systems, and can give advice on how to grow a business
- An understanding of HTML and CSS
