Sr. Customer Success Manager

About the role:

Our Customer Success Managers (‘CSMs’) play a crucial role in building long-term, transformational customer relationships by partnering with customers across our Enterprise, Strategic, Mid-Market, and Growth customer segments. You will engage with customers at key points throughout their lifecycle and collaborate with internal teams across the business. Customer Success Managers are key to ensuring that every client receives first-class service and the best possible value from their investment with Building Engines and JLL/Technologies.

Key to these outcomes is your ability to effectively engage with Building Engines customers as needed, understanding each customer's goals and key requirements. By engaging with colleagues across CS, Product, Sales, and Customer Support, you will help clients design and deliver solutions that create tangible investment returns and drive client satisfaction.

Roles and responsibilities include:

1. Consult customers on achieving success with their Building Engines services; briefing and working with colleagues across relevant teams to configure the required solution for the customer.
2. Provide hands-on advisement for the customer along their customer journey; key advisement areas include product use strategies, driving end-user adoption, product best practice, and proposing workarounds to achieve desired outcomes.
3. Collaborate with stakeholders (both internal and external) on delivery timelines, key milestones, and open items, ensuring that tasks required are managed and delivered.
4. Partner with Sales to develop a plan for rollout of any additional functionality related to long-term client solutions, identifying opportunities for expansion.
5. Quickly become an expert in product functionality and provide demos/trainings to clients, clearly articulating how product features (and/or workarounds) can meet clients’ goals and needs.
6. Develop trusting relationships with the client by delivering timely updates, providing targeted solutions, and proactively identifying gaps and opportunities.
7. Serve as the client's liaison and advocate with internal teams, representing the client during internal meetings and discussions.

Adding Value to the Customer Lifecycle

1. Assist customers with all product-based consultancy and advice on new projects, ongoing usage or upgrades in product levels. For example:
1. Advise and demo on platform configuration.
2. Own data requests on product usage/adoption.
3. Negotiate client escalations from the Customer Support team where consultancy, internal escalation management, and regular client updates are required.
4. Facilitate product "best practice" reviews, positioning yourself as an expert in the product capabilities and customer's needs.
2. Facilitate ongoing, regular meetings with Client Leadership to discuss ongoing project status, provide product release updates, offer insights on product use and adoption, and answer critical client questions.

Other Activities

1. Support the Customer Success team on internal initiatives related to reporting, training, product knowledge, and customer education. Including, but not limited to: hosting product office hours, conducting webinars, creating external product resources.
2. Identify client references and client success stories, liaising with Marketing and Sales.

8. A focus on continuous improvement: You will look for opportunities to keep improving our products, processes, and service to make sure that our offering remains the best in the market.
