Responsibilities
- Leading, coaching, and developing the Customer Success Managers and Analysts. Hiring, growing, and getting the best out of each of them. This is the heart of the job
- Owning the entire customer book. Your team manages sections day to day; every account rolls up to you, and you stay close to the ones that matter most
- Owning gross dollar retention (GDR), the number you are measured on: customer health, success plans, interventions, and quarterbacking every renewal. Sales runs the commercial close; you run the retention play behind it
- Reading retention risk before it surfaces in a renewal, mobilizing to fix it, and giving Sales and Finance a read they can fold into the forecast they own
- Partnering with Sales on expansion: spotting and qualifying growth signals, handing them pipeline they can act on, and planning and running renewals together
- Being the voice of the customer inside Amperon: turning real usage and feedback into a direct line to Product and Markets & Technical Services
- Modernizing how the team works: sharpening health scoring, the retention motion, and the tooling, and bringing AI into the CS playbook as the business grows
Skills
- Led and coached a Customer Success and/or Account Management team (3+ years managing people, across a couple of roles)
- Owned a retention or churn number in B2B SaaS or Data-as-a-Service, and partnered with Sales on renewals and expansion. You read account health early and act on it
- Strong commercial instincts: you understand retention economics and recognize an expansion opportunity when you are in a customer conversation
- Worked across teams without needing authority to do it (with Product, Engineering, and Data Science)
- Executive presence when an account calls for it, and ease in the weeds with the people who use the product every day
- Comfort with data: enough fluency with the tools your team lives in (SQL, Python, Snowflake) to lead well in a data-science product
- Fluency using AI tools like Claude or ChatGPT to work faster, and the instinct to push your team to do the same
- We care more about how you have led than how big your past accounts were
- Energy or electricity-markets background is a real plus, but we will teach the domain to the right leader
Benefits
- Competitive salary plus stock option package.
- Medical, dental and vision insurance
- Family planning benefits through Carrot which includes IVF plus preservation treatments, adoption and gender affirming care
- Annual company retreat - e still believe human interaction is a good thing
- 401(k) - we offer it, though we don't currently match contributions
- Flexible PTO policy – take what you need, when you need it
- Remote first work environment
