Customer Success Manager

Work Model: Primarily onsite (5 days/week expectation; occasional flexibility for 1-2 remote days)

Industry: EdTech / SaaS

Compensation: $120,000 base salary + up to $20,000 performance bonus tied to Net Revenue Retention (NRR)

Our partner is a rapidly growing, venture-backed EdTech SaaS company serving K-12 schools. The team has recently expanded to ~18 employees, including multiple new sales hires, and continues to grow month over month. With strong product-market fit and increasing customer demand, they are investing in Customer Success to support retention, engagement, and expansion. The team operates in-person in New York and maintains a high-ownership, execution-focused culture.

This is a high-impact, early-stage CSM role reporting directly to the CEO and working day-to-day with the Head of Customer Success. The focus is not traditional enterprise account management — instead, this role blends customer engagement at scale with ownership of a small portfolio of renewals.

You’ll help maintain and improve existing engagement systems (webinars, newsletters, lifecycle communication, community touchpoints) while managing a subset of renewal accounts. The playbooks and frameworks exist but need structure, refinement, and execution. This is ideal for someone who wants to grow into a larger CS or revenue-focused role over time.

• Collaborate with sales on potential upsell opportunities where appropriate.
• Improve and iterate on existing CS playbooks and frameworks.
• Work cross-functionally with product and sales to ensure strong customer outcomes.
