The position

This is an exciting time to join Remote and make a personal difference in the global employment space as a Customer Success Manager, SMB, within our Customer Experience team. In this role, you will act as a trusted advisor and advocate for our customers, building strong relationships to ensure retention and high-quality service delivery. You will manage the entire post-sale customer journey—from the initial onboarding phase to an established partnership—by setting and achieving regular operational reviews, educating clients on product functionality, and supporting them with any questions that might arise. Additionally, you will collaborate with Sales to align on customer expectations, monitor account health to proactively prevent churn and manage escalations, and identify valuable upselling and cross-selling opportunities. As a key link between our clients and internal operations, you will also share direct customer feedback to continually improve our team processes.
