This role
As a Customer Success Manager, you will be the primary strategic partner for a dedicated portfolio of approximately 40 of our highest-value clients. This is not a support role; you are the CEO of your own book of business. Your mission is to embed Employment Hero as an indispensable part of your clients' operations. To succeed, you must possess the emotional intelligence (EQ) and resilience to navigate complex environments. While your goal is partnership, you must be prepared to manage high-stakes conversations; your ability to stand firm during challenging interactions and steer them toward positive outcomes is essential. You will act as the central point of contact, orchestrating internal resources to ensure clients are expertly supported. This requires a pragmatic, data-led approach, ensuring that when you advocate for your clients internally, you do so with clear evidence rather than emotion, streamlining the path to solution.
Your key focus areas will be:
Responsibilities
- Outcome-Driven Portfolio Management: Take full ownership of Net Revenue Retention (NRR) by prioritising actionable outcomes over regular "facetime".Conduct Strategic Business Reviews (QBRs) to align platform capabilities with specific client objectives.
- Technical Expertise & Advocacy: Commit to becoming a product expert to navigate complex technical problems and showcase the evolving value of the platform. Act as the internal "voice of the customer," using data to provide engineering teams with actionable feedback rather than reactive requests.
- Resilient Relationship Management: Build influential relationships with senior stakeholders using high EQ and "Executive Presence". Navigate high-stakes conversations and de-escalate friction to turn challenging interactions into outcomes of trust.
- Strategic Growth: Proactively manage account health and identify expansion
- opportunities to maximise client longevity and revenue.
Who you are
To thrive at Employment Hero, you’ll need to embody The EH Way - operating with focus, agility, and an obsession with impact.
For this role, you’ll also bring:
- Experience: 3+ years of experience in a B2B Customer Success, Account Management, or strategic consulting role, ideally within a SaaS business.
- High Emotional Intelligence (EQ): You build deep, positive relationships and advocacy, but also possess the resilience to navigate critical challenges when they arise. You are comfortable standing your ground in complex situations, remaining composed to de-escalate friction and turn difficult moments into outcomes of trust.
- Data-Led Pragmatism: You lead with pragmatism rather than emotion. You are proficient in using data (NPS, health scores) and CRM software (e.g., Salesforce, Vitally) to make objective decisions and justify the allocation of internal resources.
- Executive Presence: The ability to confidently engage with and influence senior stakeholders.
- Technical & Commercial Acumen: Proven ability to digest challenging products and manage high-value accounts with responsibility for retention and expansion targets
