Role purpose
The Customer Success Manager is the single operational owner for the customer from the final stages of solution shaping (in presales) through implementation, go-live, adoption and ongoing service. The role ensures that FintechOS delivers the outcomes it has committed to, with clear ownership, proactive communication, respectful collaboration and predictable execution.
This is not a passive coordination or reporting role. The CSM leads the customer success plan, drives decisions and issue resolution across FintechOS and the customer, and remains accountable until the agreed outcome is achieved. The Account Partner owns the overall commercial relationship; the CSM owns operational success.
What success looks like
- Customers know who owns the outcome and receive clear, timely answers without navigating FintechOS internally.
- Implementations and upgrades achieve agreed milestones, budgets and quality expectations.
- Risks are identified early, communicated openly and resolved through practical recovery plans.
- Live solutions remain stable, support issues are progressed to resolution and recurring problems are eliminated.
- Customers adopt the platform, realise measurable business value and have confidence to renew and expand.
Key responsibilities
Customer outcomes and operational ownership
- Own the end-to-end customer success plan, covering committed outcomes, implementation, go-live, adoption, live service and future priorities.
- Join during late-stage Presales to understand customer objectives, commitments, scope, assumptions and delivery dependencies before execution begins.
- Translate contractual commitments into a clear, outcome-based plan with named owners, milestones, decisions and success measures.
- Act as the primary point of operational accountability across implementation, upgrades and ongoing services.
- Keep ownership of material customer issues until the outcome has been confirmed with the customer, regardless of which internal team performs the work.
- Represents the senior leadership in Steering Committees and customer facing forums such as QBRs and Service Reviews.
Delivery leadership and predictability
- Run the implementation and direct the cross-functional delivery effort, with authority to set priorities, drive decisions and remove blockers within the agreed scope.
- Maintain one integrated view of scope, milestones, budget, quality, dependencies, risks and customer actions.
- Challenge unrealistic plans or commitments early and escalate decisions that require additional investment, contractual change or Product roadmap approval.
- Identify delivery risks before they become escalations and lead measurable mitigation or recovery plans.
- Ensure readiness for testing, go-live and stabilisation, including clear acceptance criteria and transition into support.
- Communicate progress, risks and decisions directly and respectfully, avoiding defensive behaviour, blame or late surprises.
