What this job can offer you

This is an exciting time to join Remote and make a personal difference in the global employment space as a Pay Customer Success Manager, as part of our Customer Experience team.

Owns the full post-sales customer lifecycle for a high-volume SMB book across Payroll + EOR + adjacent products. Runs the standard post-sales motion end-to-end with high operational rigor - proactive engagement, adoption, and structured churn-risk management - while partnering tightly with Sales on renewals and expansion signals.

What you bring

CS/AM experience in complex B2B SaaS (Payroll preferred) or comparable customer-facing ownership

Strong written communication and stakeholder management (agendas, follow-ups, decision capture)

Ability to identify churn risk early and execute structured mitigation plans

Comfort coordinating across multiple teams and product lines (Sales, Implementation, Support, Product, Ops)

Consistent CRM + Vitally hygiene as system of record (SSOT)

Uses AI as a human-in-the-loop assistant for prep, synthesis, and drafting - validates against source-of-truth docs before sending any comms

Writes and speaks fluent English.

Key Responsibilities

Accountability & autonomy - owns renewals, churn mitigation, and core SMB motions end-to-end for a large book of business; escalates early with context without offloading ownership

Communication & collaboration - provides timely, clear customer and internal updates; runs structured operating rhythms; aligns DRIs across Sales and required verticals and closes loops consistently

Customer outcomes - drives onboarding/adoption outcomes and Success Plans; translates customer goals into measurable milestones and tracks progress

Escalation & risk management - identifies churn signals early; runs mitigation plans; escalates only when blockers are clear and the ask is explicit

Commercial impact - surfaces qualified upsell/cross-sell signals (e.g., adjacent products where applicable) during QBRs and renewal conversations; documents and routes correctly to Sales/AMs

Operational excellence - maintains Vitally + Salesforce as SSOT (pulses, risk tags, notes, next steps) with zero reminders; produces clean handovers for PTO/coverage per SOPs

Scalability & automation - consistently uses approved playbooks, automation, and templates to sustain cadence across a high-volume book; shares practical learnings with the pod

AI fluency - uses AI to draft customer comms, summarize meetings/case context, and structure risk summaries; verifies facts and commitments; ships customer-ready outputs without added rework
