What We’re Looking For

Your Impact at brighthush

As the senior leader of our Pooled Customer Success team, you will:

• Own a portfolio of high‑value enterprise accounts, ensuring they receive consistent, high‑quality support without the need for dedicated one‑to‑one relationships.
• Design and implement scalable processes that deliver measurable value across the entire portfolio.
• Drive retention, expansion, and customer health metrics that directly influence revenue and market share.
• Serve as the strategic steward of customer health, turning data into actionable insights that guide cross‑functional teams.
• Mentor and develop a high‑performing squad of 4–7 Customer Success Managers, fostering a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and professional growth.

Key Responsibilities

Team Leadership & Talent Development

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of 4–7 pooled CSMs, fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
• Strategically distribute workload, manage queue coverage, and balance capacity so that no customer segment is overlooked.
• Conduct regular portfolio reviews, renewal and risk assessments, and performance check‑ins to keep the team aligned with business goals.
• Coach CSMs on rapid discovery, efficient conversation techniques, and how to deliver value in fewer, higher‑quality interactions.
• Recruit, onboard, and nurture talent that thrives in a fast‑moving, high‑volume environment.
• Implement a mentorship framework that pairs senior CSMs with newer hires to accelerate skill acquisition and cultural assimilation.
• Champion a data‑driven performance culture, using metrics to recognize excellence and identify development opportunities.

Driving Measurable Customer Value at Scale

• Operationalize the Customer Value Framework through standardized plays, eliminating bespoke plans while maintaining high impact.
• Guarantee that every customer in the pool receives structured lifecycle coverage: onboarding confirmation, adoption checkpoints, and pre‑renewal reviews.
• Define clear value milestones and outcome criteria that apply consistently across the portfolio.
• Link product adoption to tangible business results in every customer interaction.
• Monitor portfolio health signals and direct team focus toward accounts where intervention can change the outcome.
• Develop and maintain a knowledge base of best practices, playbooks, and case studies that empower the team to deliver consistent value.

Retention, Expansion & Growth Alignment

• Own retention performance for the pooled portfolio, including renewal readiness and early risk detection.
• Collaborate closely with Renewals and Sales leadership on renewal strategy and expansion routing.
• Ensure CSMs surface new use cases, stakeholders, and expansion signals, handing them off cleanly to the appropriate teams.
• Influence retention strategy through data‑driven insights and repeatable risk‑mitigation plays.
• Track and report on key metrics such as churn rate, renewal rate, expansion ARR, and net promoter score (NPS) to senior leadership.

Operational Excellence & Scalability

• Define and enforce the operating rhythm for the pool: coverage standards, response expectations, escalation paths, and handoff protocols.
• Maintain rigorous documentation discipline so that account context lives in the system, not in individual memory.
• Ensure CRM and CS tooling accurately reflect account health, engagement history, and renewal status.
• Use metrics such as coverage rate, time to first response, adoption, health scores, renewal rates, and expansion ARR to drive performance conversations.
• Identify automation and process improvements that increase capacity without adding headcount.
• Lead quarterly process reviews to refine workflows, eliminate bottlenecks, and incorporate new technology or insights.

Cross‑Functional Leadership

• Serve as the voice of a large, diverse customer population internally while balancing business priorities.
• Partner with Support, Product, Professional Services, Renewals, and Sales to enhance the customer journey for customers without a dedicated resource.
• Surface systemic risks, adoption blockers, and product feedback trends to senior leadership, using the pool’s volume as an early warning system.
• Contribute to strategic planning for the broader Customer Success organization, including forecasting, budgeting, and resource allocation.
• Represent the Customer Success function in executive meetings, ensuring that customer perspectives inform product roadmaps and service enhancements.

Essential Qualifications

• 3+ years in a Customer Success or account management role, and 2+ years managing or leading CSM teams.

• Deep understanding of renewal strategy, retention management, and risk identification at volume.
• Proven track record designing and improving repeatable plays, playbooks, and operating standards.
