Staffbase is looking for a Senior Customer Success Manager to join our North America team and own a portfolio of mid-to-large enterprise customers. You’ll be their strategic partner, helping them drive business outcomes and deepen platform adoption, and you’ll own the commercial relationship too: renewals, upsells, and add-on sales, end-to-end, against a quota.

Selling isn’t a side task here. Our CSMs demo, price, negotiate, and close add-on deals themselves, and are measured on hitting their numbers. At quarter-end, we’re in the office working deals alongside the sales team.

You’ll need a strong foundation in customer success and account management, managing customer relationships, driving adoption, and proactively identifying risks and opportunities. You also bring real experience owning revenue: closing renewals, running expansion deals, and handling the negotiation that comes with them. If you’ve carried a number before and enjoyed it, you’ll thrive here.

What you'll be doing

• Own a book of ~25 mid-to-large enterprise customers, building success plans tied to each customer's goals
• Own SaaS subscription renewals for your book end to end: forecasting, negotiating, and closing on time
• Own expansion revenue against a quota: listen for the signals, identify the use case, and turn upsell and cross-sell opportunities into closed deals
• Run CSM-owned add-on deals (like our digital signage solution) yourself, from first demo through pricing, discounting decisions, negotiation, and objection handling
• Take every deal to signature: identify the decision-makers and signers, put the paperwork together, and work with Deal Desk to close, bringing in Product when a customer needs a deeper dive
• Lead regular business reviews and planning sessions that prove value and set up the next commercial conversation
• Guide customer teams through onboarding, rollout, and long-term adoption of the Staffbase platform
• Identify and mitigate risk early, working cross-functionally with Product and Support to keep customers successful
• Advocate for customer needs internally and contribute to product feedback loops

What you'll need to be successful

• 3–6 years of experience in Customer Success, Account Management, or related client-facing roles, preferably in SaaS
• Commercial experience: you've carried a quota or revenue target, and you've owned renewal or expansion deals end to end, including demo, pricing, negotiation, and close. A sales role or a quota-carrying CSM role both count.
• A track record of hitting renewal and expansion targets
• Confidence negotiating price and handling objections, and no hesitation picking up the phone to chase a signature at quarter-end
• Experience managing a portfolio of accounts
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills; able to build relationships with day-to-day users and decision-makers alike
• Familiarity with digital tools and SaaS adoption metrics
• Self-motivated with a growth mindset and a strong sense of ownership
• Experience collaborating cross-functionally with internal teams to drive customer success

What you'll get

• Competitive Compensation - we offer attractive salary packages including LTIP (unit-based Long Term Incentive Plan)
• Flexibility - we offer flexible working time models and the option of hybrid work, and support this with a yearly flex work allowance of $2400
• Recharge - with 31 vacation days annually (incl. one floating holiday), plus pro rata fully paid Fridays off during August
• Support - we’re offering a RRSP plan with company match and health plans, including dental & vision as well as competitive Paid Parental Leave to support new parents
• Volunteer Day - you’ll get one day off per year for supporting a social project

Actual salaries will vary and may be above or below the range based on various factors including but not limited to location, experience, and performance.
