Purpose of the Job
The primary purpose of the Customer Success Manager (Technical & Retention) role is to proactively mitigate churn driven by technical challenges and ensure our customers continue to realise value from our cyber security products and services.
Working within the CX team, you will take ownership of accounts identified as being at risk due to product bugs, technical limitations, or implementation challenges. You will act as the central point of coordination between customers and internal teams, ensuring technical concerns are effectively triaged, clearly communicated, and resolved in a timely manner.
You will be expected to work closely with the wider Customer Success team, Support, Product, and Engineering, and our Solutions Specialist to drive resolution plans, manage escalations, and maintain transparency with customers throughout the lifecycle of any technical issues encountered. In addition, you will support the success and sales teams with analysis relating to churn trends, product-related risk indicators, and recurring technical themes impacting retention.
Your responsibilities include:

Understanding the unique needs and technical maturity of different customer segments will be key, as you will engage with a diverse customer base to safeguard retention and long-term growth.

Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
