The Role: Customer Success Manager

The Customer Success Associate plays a key role in driving customer success initiatives for customers who receive a scaled, one-to-many approach. Responsible for communication programs and enablement, this role is the primary point of contact for customers in a growth position — focused on customer enablement, identifying ongoing opportunities, and keeping customers engaged. A key part of this role involves collaborating with cross-functional teams on migration efforts while maximizing customer satisfaction and revenue growth.

This position follows standard business hours in your local time zone (generally 9:00am - 5:00pm). Given our globally distributed team, some flexibility may be required to accommodate collaboration across Pacific and GMT time zones.

This is a live role and we are planning to fill it as soon as possible.

How We Hire (and How We Use AI)

At Certn, we use AI tools to support our recruitment process, including helping us organize and review applications to identify early matches based on role criteria. These tools assess the information you provide, such as your skills, qualifications, and experience.

That said, all hiring decisions involve human judgment and oversight.

Your personal information will be collected and processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which explains what data we collect, how we use it, how long we will retain it, and your rights to access, correct, or request a human review of any automated decision.

Tip: Show us the real you. We encourage you to apply authentically and avoid relying solely on AI-generated responses, especially during interviews. We want to get to know you and not your Generative AI tools!
