About the Role

At Avoma, Customer Success is not about managing accounts – it’s about owning customer outcomes at scale.

As a Senior Customer Success Manager, you will operate as a strategic partner, systems builder, and AI-enabled operator responsible for ensuring customers achieve measurable business results using Avoma. You will leverage data, automation, and AI to proactively drive adoption, expansion, and retention – while shaping how Customer Success scales as a function.

This is a high-impact role for someone who combines deep care for craft with a bias for action – someone who sweats the details, takes pride in their work, and consistently goes the extra step to deliver exceptional outcomes for customers.

What You’ll Own (Outcomes & Impact)

1. Drive Measurable Customer Outcomes

  • Define, track, and deliver against clear success metrics tied to customer business goals

  • Use product usage data, AI insights, and customer signals to proactively identify risks and opportunities

  • Ensure customers achieve time-to-value quickly and consistently

2. Scale Success Through AI & Automation

  • Design and implement scalable success programs using AI, workflows, and automation

  • Reduce manual effort by building playbooks that run themselves

  • Leverage tools like Avoma, CRM, and CS platforms to create a data-driven success engine

3. Own the Full Customer Lifecycle

  • Lead onboarding, adoption, value realization, renewal, and expansion

  • Run high-impact business reviews (QBRs/EBRs) focused on ROI and strategic outcomes – not activity

  • Act as a trusted advisor to executive stakeholders

4. Be the Voice of the Customer

  • Translate customer conversations, usage patterns, and feedback into actionable product insights

  • Influence product, GTM, and positioning using structured, data-backed input

  • Identify patterns across customers to inform scalable improvements

5. Build the Future of Customer Success at Avoma

  • Create and refine playbooks, frameworks, and processes for a growing CS team

  • Operate effectively in ambiguity and help define what “great” looks like

  • Contribute to a culture of ownership, speed, and outcomes

How You Work (Mindset & Craft)

  • You bring a high-effort, high-standards approach to everything you do – not by working more hours, but by working with intention, precision, and care

  • You have strong attention to detail – you don’t miss signals in customer data, conversations, or execution

  • You take pride in your craft – whether it’s a QBR, onboarding experience, or internal playbook, you aim to make it exceptional, not just sufficient

  • You combine speed with quality – moving fast, but never sloppy

  • You act like an owner – deeply accountable for customer outcomes, not just tasks

What Success Looks Like in This Role

  • Customers achieve clear, measurable ROI with Avoma

  • High net revenue retention (NRR) driven by expansion and retention

  • Reduced time-to-value and onboarding friction

  • Scalable systems that allow you to manage more customers without sacrificing quality

  • Strong influence on product roadmap and GTM strategy

What You Bring

Core Experience

  • 7-12 years in Customer Success, Account Management, or similar customer-facing roles in SaaS

  • Proven track record of driving retention, expansion, and customer outcomes

  • Experience working with mid-market and/or enterprise customers

AI-Native & Data-Driven Mindset

  • Comfortable using AI tools, automation, and data to improve efficiency and outcomes

  • Experience with CS platforms, CRM (e.g., HubSpot), and analytics tools (e.g., Amplitude)

  • Ability to turn data into insights and action

Builder Mentality

  • Thrive in ambiguity and can create structure from scratch

  • Experience designing playbooks, processes, and scalable programs

  • Bias for action – comfortable rolling up your sleeves to get things done

Executive Presence & Communication

  • Strong ability to engage and influence senior stakeholders

  • Skilled at translating product capabilities into business value and ROI

  • Clear, structured communicator (written and verbal)

What Sets You Apart

  • Experience scaling Customer Success in a high-growth, early-stage company

  • Deep understanding of AI-driven workflows or conversational intelligence tools

  • Track record of building automation-first or low-touch CS models

  • Strong customer references that speak to your impact on their business outcomes

Compensation & Benefits

  • 💰 Compensation: $120K–$150K base based on years of experience + 20% variable (OTE: $150K–$187.5K)

    • Variable tied to NRR, expansion, and customer outcomes – onboarding, transformation projects, etc.

  • 📈 Equity: Meaningful early-stage equity grant

  • 🏥 Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, 401(k), and generous PTO

  • ⚙️ Tools: Best-in-class AI, CS, and analytics stack to amplify your impact

  • 📍 Location: This is an in-office role based in San Jose, CA (5 days/week)

Culture note: We value craft, ownership, and high-quality execution—this is a high-performance team that cares deeply about outcomes, not activity.
