Your Mission

As a Customer Success Manager, you are the strategic architect of the post-sale journey for our complex and high-value clients. You will serve as a trusted advisor, bridging the gap between technical functionality and business transformation. Your mission is to ensure that Linnworks isn’t just a tool, but a core engine of their growth. The Customer Success Manager will own the relationship end-to-end, driving retention, identifying expansion opportunities, and ensuring our VIP clients realize a measurable Return on Investment (ROI).

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Account Management

• Relationship Architecture: Establish multi-threaded relationships across the client’s organization, from operations managers to the C-Suite.
• Success Mapping: Lead the “First Value Journey,” ensuring clients hit their initial goals early (post on-boarding) and building a roadmap for long-term maturity.
• Executive Business Reviews (EBRs): Conduct high-impact strategic reviews to report on ROI, Product Roadmap, feature usage, and future growth alignment.
• Risk Mitigation: Proactively monitor account health and platform usage patterns to intervene before churn becomes a possibility.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Product Advocacy: Act as a “Voice of the Customer” (VoC) lead, translating client pain points into structured feedback for the Product and Engineering teams.
• Commercial Synergy: Partner with Sales and Account Management to secure renewals and identify expansion pathways that increase Lifetime Value (LTV).
• Technical Liaison: Collaborate with Support and Engineering to fast-track resolution for high-priority issues impacting VIP accounts.

Operational Excellence

• Performance Reporting: Deliver bespoke, data-driven reports that highlight platform efficiency and business impact.
• Process Improvement: Contribute to the “Linnworks Playbook”—improving our internal processes for onboarding, health checks, and churn reporting.

Success Metrics (The “What Success Looks Like”)

• Net Retention Rate (NRR): Ensuring clients stay and grow.
• Customer Health Score: Maintaining a high weighted score across usage, sentiment, and support engagement.
• Expansion Pipeline: Driving a consistent flow of qualified leads for the upsell team.

What You’ll Bring To The Role

• A keen eye for identifying expansion opportunities (upsell/cross-sell) and managing the nuances of contract renewals.
• Ability to turn raw platform data into a narrative that demonstrates value and uncovers hidden risks.

Mindset & Knowledge

• The “Partner” Mentality: You don’t just solve ‘asks’; you solve business problems. You advocate fiercely for the customer while balancing the business’s commercial interests.
• eCommerce Domain Expertise: Deep understanding of the global eCommerce landscape, including multi-channel selling, logistics, and inventory management.
• Outcome-Obsessed: You are driven by customer “Success Milestones” rather than just “Activity Metrics”.
