As Senior Manager, Customer Success, you’ll lead a team of CSMs responsible for driving adoption, expansion, and long-term customer outcomes across a portfolio of accounts.

This role is for a people-first leader who can coach, scale process, and hold a high bar for customer partnership, while also rolling up your sleeves to solve complex situations, influence cross-functionally, and help shape how we deliver value at Front as we grow.

WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING?

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of Customer Success Managers, setting clear expectations, driving performance, and building a culture of ownership and customer empathy.
• Own retention and expansion outcomes across your team’s book of business, with a strong operational cadence around forecasting, risk management, and pipeline health.
• Partner with Sales on renewals and expansion strategy, ensuring clean handoffs, strong account planning, and aligned customer narratives.
• Build scalable team processes (QBRs, success planning, health scoring, playbooks) that improve consistency and outcomes without adding unnecessary overhead.
• Operate as an escalation leader for at-risk accounts, navigating complex stakeholder dynamics and creating recovery plans that rebuild trust.
• Collaborate closely with Support, Product, and Engineering to unblock customers and influence roadmap priorities based on patterns, feedback, and business impact.
• Drive continuous improvement using data, identifying leading indicators, coaching to behaviors, and improving how the team executes across the customer lifecycle.

WHAT SKILLS & EXPERIENCE DO YOU NEED?

• 7+ years in Customer Success, Account Management, or post-sales roles in B2B SaaS, including 2+ years managing and scaling high-performing CS teams.
• Proven track record leading retention and expansion outcomes (renewals, churn reduction, upsell/cross-sell) in a recurring revenue model.
• Strong coaching and leadership skills, able to elevate performance through clear feedback, structured development, and high standards.
• Experience building operational rigor: forecasting, health metrics, playbooks, and execution cadences that make teams more effective.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management, able to influence customers and internal partners, including senior leadership.
• Comfort in ambiguity and change; you can create clarity, prioritize fast, and drive execution as the business scales.
• Strong customer intuition paired with analytical thinking, you can diagnose problems, design solutions, and measure what’s working.
