What We're Looking For
Are you a strategic, commercially driven customer champion with a passion for helping top-tier retail brands realize maximum value from their technology investments?
We are looking for a high-performing Strategic Customer Success Manager to join our UKI and Nordics Customer Success team. In this pivotal, high-visibility role, you will be the primary post-sales trusted advisor for a dedicated portfolio of 5 to 6 major enterprise retail accounts across the UK.
You will lead the customer journey across both our core enterprise hardware solutions and our cutting-edge SaaS software products. Operating as a core member of our cross-functional Account Impact Team (partnering closely with Account Managers, Solutions/Systems Engineers, and Executive Leadership), you will drive product adoption, lead commercial contract renewals, and uncover opportunities for revenue expansion and technology refreshes.
This is a flexible, field-based role with no mandatory office attendance, though you will have access to our hubs in Bourne End and central London. UK-wide travel is an essential part of the position, and you should expect to spend approximately 30% to 50% of your time meeting with customers.
