About the Role:
We’re looking for our Customer Success Manager to join our fully remote team. This is a commercial-facing role where you’ll own a portfolio of customers end-to-end, from onboarding and adoption through expansion and retention.
You’ll start by owning mid-market & SMB customers, and as you ramp, you’ll progressively take on larger and more complex accounts, with a clear path toward owning enterprise customers independently.
At the core of this role is driving actionability. You will help customers turn data into decisions and decisions into measurable business impact. You’ll also identify and lead expansion opportunities where we’re clearly delivering value, and you’ll partner closely with Sales and Product to scale what works.
This is a high-impact role for someone who enjoys owning outcomes, influencing product direction, and balancing customer success with commercial growth.
What Success Looks Like in This Role:
- Expansion of existing accounts (mid-market & SMBs) through a deep understanding of customer needs, identifying opportunities for growth, and consistently delivering value to drive satisfaction and retention.
- Collaboration with the Sales team to convert trial users into long-term clients, establishing a consistent stream of paid trials and successful conversions.
- Customers deeply adopt Portcast with measurable outcomes, while providing strong feedback loops that help shape our product roadmap and improve product-market fit.
- Building and maintaining strong, strategic relationships with clients to position Portcast as an essential partner, ensuring high levels of customer advocacy and positive feedback.
What You’ll Do:
- Own the full customer lifecycle, from onboarding to renewal, ensuring a smooth, positive, and impactful experience.
- Serve as a trusted advisor to our clients, aligning Portcast’s solutions with their strategic goals and addressing their unique challenges.
- Identify and execute expansion opportunities (upsell, cross-sell, increased usage, new teams, new regions) by deeply understanding customer goals, pain points, and internal decision processes.
- Partner closely with Sales on trial conversion and commercial conversations, ensuring smooth handovers, strong engagement, and high conversion rates.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including product and engineering, to communicate customer feedback and influence improvements that enhance Portcast’s value proposition.
- Develop and execute tailored success plans for each client, conducting regular check-ins, Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs), and strategic sessions to drive adoption and satisfaction.
- Analyze customer data and metrics to provide actionable insights, continuously refining the client journey for optimal impact.
- Create and refine processes that streamline the customer journey, making it frictionless, value-driven, and measurable.
- Implement engagement strategies to drive customer retention and satisfaction, ensuring clients remain long-term advocates of Portcast.
To Thrive in This Role, You Must Have:
- A Bachelor's Degree or equivalent, ideally with specialization in either Logistics, Maritime, Business, Marketing, Engineering, Computer Science, or related disciplines.
- Solid & strong experience in a commercial role (Customer Success/Account Management or Sales) within the logistics industry or logistics technology space.
- Strong familiarity with freight forwarding and global logistics workflows, and the ability to confidently engage customers across operations and commercial stakeholders.
- Demonstrated success in driving account expansion, including upsell and cross-sell conversations, and consistently delivering revenue growth from an existing customer base.
- Experience owning enterprise or mid-market accounts end-to-end, including onboarding, adoption, renewal, and retention.
- Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build relationships and influence decision-makers across functions and seniority levels.
- Experience running QBRs and structured account success plans, using data, outcomes, and clear narratives to drive adoption and expansion.
- Excellent communication skills with a concise and structured thought process, especially when working with complex customers and multiple stakeholders.
- High ownership and independence, with the ability to operate in a lean startup environment and drive results without constant oversight.
