O stanowisku
Hi, I’m Loren https://www.linkedin.com/in/lfoseid/, the Head of Strategic Customer Success here at Ashby. My team is dedicated to building deep, consultative partnerships within the Enterprise space. One of our operating principles is “Aim High” and I'm excited to find a Manager of Strategic Customer Success who can identify gaps, drive meaningful change, and bring a creative vision to this segment as we scale.
In this role, you'll lead a team of CSMs who serve Ashby's largest and most complex customers. A key part of this role is helping your team navigate the nuances of enterprise partnerships, building the depth of engagement these customers expect while identifying what's working and translating it into repeatable approaches that scale across a sophisticated book of business. You'll partner closely with other leaders across Product, Implementation, Support, and Contract Management.
As the Manager of Strategic Customer Success, you'll lead a tenured team of skilled CSMs while helping shape how Ashby delivers value as we scale upmarket. You'll be the team's coach, sounding board, and champion, helping CSMs grow, building systems that scale, and advocating cross-functionally, all in service of helping customers drive exceptional outcomes with a rapidly evolving product.

Team Leadership and Coaching: You have led and grown Customer Success Managers in a SaaS setting and know how to nurture a culture built on empathy, accountability, and continuous development.
Technical Acumen: You can dig into the product's technical details together with your direct reports to help shape customer solutions, and you have coached teams supporting a technically complex product.

Cross-functional Collaboration: You are at ease working with teams like Sales, Product, and Support to align on customer needs and lift the overall experience.

Data-Driven: You readily use data and metrics to inform decisions, always working to improve both the team and the customer experience.
Customer-First Thinking: You have a strong grasp of B2B customer needs and a track record of delivering outstanding support experiences.
Lifecycle Awareness: You understand the entire customer lifecycle and know how to partner effectively with cross-functional teams so handoffs are strong and success is sustained.
You communicate clearly. You ask precise clarifying questions and can turn complex ideas into simple, actionable themes.
You listen attentively. You see your role as both an advocate for the Customer Success team and a voice for the customer with internal stakeholders, keeping our product roadmap evolving in the right direction.
You stand up for your team. You take an active part in resourcing and headcount planning discussions and offer a clear point of view.

Peers would call you detail oriented. You take pride in solid internal operations.
Diving into the details is not for you. Call shadowing, hands-on troubleshooting, and doing the work next to your direct reports does not appeal.
