About the Role🚀

Do you enjoy partnering with customers, dreaming big with them, and going the extra mile to help them achieve their goals? We’re looking for a Customer Success Manager to join us at Thinkific.

As aCustomer Success Manager, you will ensure that all Plus clients within your portfolio receive the strategic guidance they need to experience success on Thinkific, beginning from when they first join Thinkific Plus and throughout their lifecycle. You’ll help them level up their business by recommending best practices, teaching them how to use the platform more effectively and supporting the ongoing growth of their online course business over time.

You’ll work to drive net revenue retention for your team, effectively planning and managing client renewals to prevent churn and drive client upgrades, expansion, and contract renegotiations. Through your work, you’ll actively contribute to the Customer Success department’s objectives and key results each quarter.

Your goal will be to work strategically within your book of business in order to provide service to a portfolio of Plus customers. Here’s how you’ll accomplish this:

Partner with Plus customers to deeply understand their business goals and co-create strategies that drive measurable outcomes
Collaborate with Launch and Sales teams to ensure seamless customer transitions — establishing clear success plans and checkpoints that set each client up for long-term value
Monitor customer health scores and platform adoption to proactively identify at-risk accounts, deepen client relationships, and consistently deliver strong retention rates across your portfolio
Own an individual expansion quota, forecast accurately against it, and build proactive action plans to close pipeline gaps
Accept, interpret, and solve technical questions (with assistance from our Support and Engineering teams when necessary), and escalate bugs as needed
Maintain excellent Salesforce hygiene, so that all CSMs and leadership have access to the same important client information
Collect feedback and act as the voice of customer — you'll advocate for their needs first and work closely with our product managers to scope out future features

The person we have in mind likely:

Has 3-4+ years of experience in an Account Manager, Customer Success Manager, or other customer-facing and quota-driven role, preferably in a SaaS environment
Can independently problem solve. They’re resourceful and can switch easily between a variety of customer scenarios
Is an excellent communicator and strong storyteller who is compelling while speaking to complex ideas and visions with different audiences
Goes above and beyond. They’re proactive and eager to help—they’re only happy when their customers are happy!
Possesses high levels of empathy and patience. Whether with their teammates or customers, they’re a joy to work with
Loves to learn and grow. They’ve found (and keep looking for) ways to level up their skills in this field, whether that’s through formal education, gaining professional experience, or maybe even building their own business

These things would also be nice, but we think you could learn them on the job:

Experience working in multidisciplinary teams and cross-functionally
A keen eye for detail—this person always double-checks their work to dot their i’s and cross their t’s!
A technical background and an understanding of the SaaS model. Being able to translate technical jargon to plain language and back again

The recruitment compensation range for this position is $65,300 - $81,600 - $97,900 CAD (this range isbase salary only). Your specific compensation within this range is determined based on your job-related skills, knowledge, experience, and our internal equity assessment.
