The role of an Enterprise Customer Success Manager at Canonical

Customer success is a fairly new and strategic department at Canonical, with the objective to reduce risk and churn, facilitate the adoption of new products or services and support expansion within existing accounts. Customer Success Managers (CSM) are responsible for developing trust with their assigned customers and providing them with the best possible experience navigating Canonical's vast offering. By clearly understanding their customer’s objectives, the CSM can align expectations, suggest a large range of additional services or product capacity to increase loyalty, alleviate any pain points, and help draw and deliver on an appropriate collaboration roadmap. 

We are growing our Customer Success team to continue to offer thoughtful, smart, precise interactions across our product portfolio, from Ubuntu to open-source infrastructure and applications. To provide the appropriate level of focus for every customer, in their native language and with excellent English for any internal interaction, CSMs are specialized in one of the following segments:  

  • Mass - SMEs or large businesses starting their journey with Canonical
  • Focus - Large companies with established ARR
  • Step Growth - a selection of high-potential customers 

All CSMs contribute to business support at the company level for all remaining, not-yet-assigned customers (Tech segment), including our Store customers, through campaign management and customer requests.

Location:  This role will be based remotely in the EMEA region.
