On a mission to transform the way millions of people work with sales enablement, Highspot is committed to building breakthrough software with a spark of magic. We believe a great place to work is about more than the work – it’s about what the company stands for, and how it authentically represents its values in the real world. To this end, we have put intentional focus on creating equitable workspaces for each of our employees. Our goal is to create a culture where everyone feels a deep sense of belonging and is empowered to be an agent of change, with the ability to transform themselves, their workplace, and their world.

About the Role

In this role, you will be joining the Customer Success team. This is a high-impact and high-visibility position in which you will be responsible for leading a team of Customer Success Managers who own a portfolio of customers, guiding them through their post-sales onboarding process and acting as a trusted advisor throughout their time with Highspot. You will work closely with the leaders of Services and Account Management to define and implement the customer strategy as well as supporting and coaching the growing Customer Success team. You will play a key role in building and sustaining customer and partner relationships while driving the adoption of Highspot within the customer’s organization and ensuring that customers get the full benefits of using our platform.

What You'll Do

Provide Customer Insight. Develop relationships with our customers to understand their Highspot experience and synthesize key themes from across the customer base to keep us moving toward the perfect customer experience.
Coach the Customer Success team to align product capabilities to customer business goals and objectives. Guide your team through complex and difficult organizational issues across all customer segments.

Develop a High Performing, High Engagement Team and Culture. Coach and develop your direct reports. Demonstrate very high emotional intelligence. Set and uphold the highest performance standards. Help colleagues “enjoy the ride” - one of our core guiding principles.
Partner effectively across functions.

Demonstrate a balanced, reasoned approach to conflict or differing priorities.
Cultivate deep product knowledge. To date, this has been one of the hallmarks of the Customer Success team. Gain deep knowledge, understanding, and experience with the Highspot product and how it is integrated with other systems in a customer environment. Provide training/guidance/best practices to customers and team.
Maintain focus on commercial outcomes. CSM’s must be closely aligned with our Account Management team to drive renewals and identify expansion opportunities, so understanding how to conduct sales conversations is critical to the success of the team and Highspot’s growth.
