About the Role
We are looking for a driven Customer Success Manager to join our team with a focus on the Pro Sports and Entertainment+ verticals. In this role, you will work directly with professional sports and entertainment organizations, including customers like the MLB, NFL Clubs, Six Flags and more, helping them achieve success through strong partnership and strategic guidance. You will collaborate closely with our Sales team to define and expand what success looks like for our customers, while also helping refine and scale customer success processes and playbooks. This role requires strong organizational skills, a commercially minded approach, and the ability to partner cross-functionally with teams including Solutions Engineering, Partnerships, Product, and Professional Services to ensure customer needs are clearly represented and effectively translated into product direction and strategy. Your core responsibility will be to serve as a trusted advisor to your customers by owning the end-to-end customer relationship, advocating for their needs internally, and ensuring they realize the ongoing value from our platform.
