The leader will manage a team of CSMs, drive customer adoption and retention, develop regional playbooks, and act as a liaison between customers and internal teams.

What you'd actually do

  1. Directly manage and develop a team of Enterprise and Mid-Market CSMs in Sydney. Set clear expectations, run structured operating cadences, and invest in growing your people — this is Harvey's first dedicated CS manager in the region and the standard you set will define how the team scales.
  2. Own NRR, adoption, and renewal targets across Harvey's APAC book of business. Partner with Sales to drive expansion and ensure customers are realizing measurable, demonstrable value from the platform.
  3. Build and refine the processes that enable the team to manage a growing portfolio — success plans, QBR/EBR frameworks, health scoring, escalation workflows, and renewal playbooks adapted for the APAC market and its enterprise legal buyers.
  4. Serve as the voice of APAC customers to Product, Engineering, Sales, and Harvey's global CS leadership. Translate regional feedback and usage patterns into actionable insights that shape the product roadmap and go-to-market approach.
  5. As one of Harvey's earliest CS leaders on the ground in Sydney, you will help define what great looks like locally — hiring standards, team culture, onboarding quality, and the operating model for a region with significant growth ahead.
