About the role

Portside is seeking a proactive and customer-focused Customer Success Manager to own a large book of small and medium-sized business (SMB) accounts through a high-volume, tech-enabled motion. Rather than driving every touchpoint yourself, you will manage and continuously improve automated, self-serve processes for onboarding, cadence, support, renewal, and expansion, stepping in personally where accounts need attention, such as inactivity triggers, escalations, or renewal risk.

What they're looking for

  • Manage and continuously improve the end-to-end customer journey (onboarding, cadence, support, renewal, and expansion) for your book of business
  • Handle escalations across your portfolio, using strong judgment and people skills to resolve issues and protect the relationship
  • Track customer health, usage, and engagement data to identify where automated processes are working and where a personal touch is needed
  • Maintain a deep understanding of Portside's products and underlying technology to effectively advise customers and troubleshoot issues as they're escalated
  • Encourage customer participation in Portside's customer community for peer learning, support deflection, and advocacy identification
  • Identify customers from your book of business who are strong candidates for testimonials, case studies, referrals, or community advocacy
