Your mission with us: We are looking for a hands-on Customer Success Manager who takes ownership of inbound customer requests and ensures a smooth end-to-end customer experience — from first inquiry to deal closing, onboarding, and ongoing support. This role combines operational execution with process thinking: you will manage incoming requests, close smaller deals independently, and play a key role in supporting Key Account Managers on larger deals and implementations. A big part of your role will be to build and improve processes as we scale — especially in situations where no clear structure exists yet. You should feel comfortable creating clarity, thinking from a customer perspective, and taking full ownership.

Your tasks:

• Independently close smaller deals and manage them in Hubspot
• Support Key Account Managers on larger deals and enterprise customers
• Assist in structuring deals and ensuring smooth internal coordination
• Act as an operational backbone during complex sales processes

• Manage and respond to inbound customer requests via email (ticket-like workflow)
• Ensure a seamless onboarding experience for new customers
• Own the end-to-end customer journey from contract closing to successful course start

• Build and improve processes where none exist yet
• Identify gaps, inefficiencies, and friction points in the customer journey
• Develop scalable solutions to support future growth

You bring to Lingoda:

• Several years of experience in Customer Success, Sales Operations, or a similar role
• Fluent in German and English
• Strong sense of ownership and ability to work independently in ambiguous environments
• Hands-on mentality with a willingness to dive into operational work
• Strong experience with HubSpot
• Structured thinking combined with a strong customer focus and communication skills
