The Customer Success Manager role offers growth potential opportunities, professional development, an engaging small team environment, and amazing benefits.

What You'll be Doing:

The Customer Success Manager (CSM), Professional Services serves as a strategic liaison between customers, Sales Executives, Solutions Consultants, Professional Services, Operations, Product, and other internal stakeholders to ensure successful transitions from sales through project completion and ongoing customer satisfaction.

This role is responsible for supporting complex customer engagements from initial scoping through delivery. The CSM partners closely with Sales and customers to understand business needs, gather requirements, define project scope, and ensure all necessary information is captured to support accurate quoting, order submission, project execution, and successful outcomes.

The Customer Success Manager supports the sales and project lifecycle by responding to inbound customer and sales quote requests, conducting account research, identifying requirements and dependencies, and partnering with internal teams to develop accurate quotes and Statements of Work (SOWs). The CSM also ensures that all order submission requirements and deliverables are thoroughly documented and contain the information needed to execute the project effectively and deliver the desired customer outcome.

As a trusted advisor throughout the customer lifecycle, the CSM facilitates cross-functional collaboration, communicates effectively with Sales and customers, helps resolve issues, and proactively identifies opportunities to improve the customer experience and create additional account value. The role is critical to accelerating the project lifecycle, ensuring timely and high-quality deliverables, and strengthening long-term customer relationships.

A strong understanding of the sales organization, product offerings, professional services, and fulfillment processes is essential. The CSM will also identify opportunities for up-selling and cross-selling that align with customer needs and contribute to revenue growth.

Key Tasks:

• Perform activities across the quote-to-order fulfillment lifecycle, including assistance in preparation of price quotes, assistance in drafting Statements of Work, researching customer project history, project management of key engagements and other activities defined as Customer Success Manager responsibilities.

This may include collaboration with other WK functions to ensure a smooth transition and project execution.
