Senior Customer Success Manager

Remote

You're responsible for the gross retention of your book of business, ensuring customers renew with Expel because they recognize us as indispensable to their security program. You accomplish this by owning the strategic relationship with economic buyers and key decision-makers, orchestrating internal resources to deliver technical value, ensuring Expel demonstrably improves their security posture, and that customers can articulate that value to their internal stakeholders, including economic buyers.

You are the single point of accountability for customer health and commercial outcomes within your portfolio. You lead quarterly business reviews, accurately forecast renewals, and identify expansion opportunities for Account Executives to pursue. When technical depth is needed, you partner with Technical Account Managers (for strategic accounts) or pull in Security Solutions Engineers and Technical Support Engineers to ensure customers get the expertise they need, while you maintain focus on the business relationship and value realization.

Beyond your book of business, you drive structural improvements to how Customer Success operates. You identify systemic gaps in the customer journey, design solutions, and drive implementation across the organization. You set the standard for what great customer management looks like and help less experienced CSMs develop their skills through coaching and mentorship.

Your success is measured by At-Bat Renewal Rate (ABR) and Dollar-Based Gross Retention (DBGR) within your portfolio, and by your contribution to improving CS operational effectiveness. You manage primarily complex commercial and enterprise accounts, often those with the highest complexity or strategic importance.

  • Identify and qualify expansion opportunities (cross-sell, upsell, overages) and coordinate with Account Executives to close
  • Orchestrate internal resources (TAM, SSE, TSE, Support, Product) to address customer needs; act as the quarterback ensuring nothing falls through the cracks
  • Ensure customers can articulate the value of Expel to their leadership and stakeholders using both qualitative and quantitative evidence
  • Manage executive communication during customer security incidents, coordinating with TAMs and SOC on technical response
  • Identify systemic gaps in the customer journey and drive structural improvements into CS operations

  • At least 4 years in the security industry (operations, products, consulting, GRC, or incident response)
  • Experience managing complex B2B customer relationships with multiple stakeholders, including C-level
  • Track record of driving retention, identifying growth opportunities, and improving team/organizational performance

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
