Mid-market Customer Success Manager - Apac

Iterable Iterable · Enterprise · Australia · Remote · Customer Success

This role is for a Customer Success Manager at Iterable, an AI-powered customer engagement platform. The CSM will manage a portfolio of mid-market customers, acting as a strategic advisor to C-suite stakeholders. Key responsibilities include building relationships, connecting platform usage to business goals and ROI, identifying expansion opportunities, and representing the customer's voice to the product team. The role requires a consulting mindset, systems thinking, and fluency with AI-native products, though the individual is not expected to be an engineer. The focus is on driving customer value, adoption, retention, and growth through strategic guidance and understanding of the MarTech and AI landscape.

What you'd actually do

  1. Proactively manage a book of mid-market Iterable customers, with exposure into up-market accounts.
  2. Build and hold strategic advisor relationships at every level of the account, including C-suite and executive stakeholders.
  3. Connect platform usage directly to each customer's stated business goals, and build the ROI story in their language.
  4. Bring a consulting approach to account strategy. Structure ambiguous problems, diagnose root cause rather than symptoms, and build the business case before recommending the solution.
  5. Identify and pursue expansion opportunities, partnering closely with your Customer Account Manager (CAM) on the commercial motion.
