Job Description
We are hiring two Customer Success Partner positions, both requiring candidates with German and English language skills.
The Role
As a Customer Success Partner (CSP), you are the strategic advocate and trusted advisor for a defined portfolio of customers. You will ensure each customer achieves measurable value from our products, data, and services, leading to satisfaction, retention, and growth of their account- with us.
You’ll build deep relationships with key stakeholders, proactively manage account health, and collaborate across Sales, Implementation, Operations, and Product to deliver an exceptional customer experience.
The CSP plays a pivotal role in driving customer outcomes, retention, and expansion. You will tailor your engagement to the customer’s tier and complexity, providing high-touch, strategic partnership for enterprise-level accounts and scalable best-practice guidance for mid-tier or volume customers.
What You’ll Be Doing In This Role
The primary responsibilities of this role are:
Customer Partnership & Advocacy
- Serve as the primary liaison and advocate for your assigned customer portfolio, ensuring alignment between customer objectives and our solutions.
- Engage with customers based on defined segmentation and tiering strategy.
- Act as a strategic advisor—translating customer business goals into actionable success plans and measurable outcomes.
- Conduct Quarterly or Executive Business Reviews (QBRs/EBRs) with customers to review performance, adoption, ROI, and future opportunities.
- Represent the Voice of the Customer (VoC) internally, escalating critical feedback and driving continuous improvement in collaboration with Operations, Product, and Compliance.
Retention, Growth, and Value Realization
- Help retain existing customers by staying engaged with them and making sure accounts renew their subscriptions with us successfully.
- Proactively monitor customer usage, order volume, and adoption metrics to identify risks and opportunities for account growth.
- Develop and execute renewal and growth plans, in partnership with Sales, to drive Net Revenue Retention (NRR) across your accounts.
- Identify and communicate ROI stories and value outcomes to reinforce the customer’s strategic partnership with J.D.Power.
- Support the reversal of potential downsells through early risk identification and proactive engagement.
