Customer Success Manager

at  UpGuard

WHO ARE WE?

UpGuard’s mission is to protect the world’s data. We obsessively seek out elegant, robust ways to enable our customers to find, acknowledge, and remediate cyber risk. With UpGuard, organizations leverage our security expertise and software to automate what was once laborious, spreadsheet-driven processes–whether it’s monitoring the attack surface of hundreds of vendors or assessing the security of their own infrastructure. UpGuard is used by some of the world’s largest, fastest-growing, and most innovative companies.
We have a rapidly growing customer base at UpGuard, but one thing has remained the same, our customers always come first! Our Success team is determined to help solve the needs and challenges that our customers face on a daily basis. We consistently think outside the box to find new ways to help our customers thrive throughout their journeys with UpGuard. We’re on the lookout for individuals who have a passion for helping others, fixing problems, and building long-lasting relationships with new customers. You will also have a commercial mindset to identify opportunities to expand our customer accounts and elevate adoption of our products to new heights.

WHY ARE WE HIRING FOR THIS ROLE?

Due to continued growth, the Customer Success team is expanding and we require a new Customer Success Manager to join our high-performing team to onboard and enable our customers. The ideal candidate will be experienced in leading customer interactions, a strong communicator both written and verbal, and able to actively listen and problem solve to provide clear advice and effective solutions.
As a Customer Success Manager, you’ll work closely with other CS team roles and cross-functionally with other departments, reporting to the Director of Customer Success, APAC. You’ll be proactive in driving product value and success for our customers, analyzing the causes of their greatest pain points, and working closely to mitigate them using UpGuard’s toolset. You will solicit constant feedback from both customers and colleagues, helping improve UpGuard over time, and you’ll work with customers around the world, from early contact to successful deployment, gaining constant, and unique, insight into the world’s most important industries and institutions.
