Customer Success Manager

Who are we?

At Finastra, we’re a global leader in financial services software, dedicated to expanding access to financial services and shaping what’s next for the industry. Our technology powers mission‑critical solutions across Lending, Payments and Universal Banking, supporting over 7,000 customers, including 80% of the world’s top 50 banks, in more than 110 countries.

What Will You Contribute?

The Customer Success Manager (CSM) uses deep industry and product knowledge, business strategy insight, and strong account management skills to ensure customers achieve measurable value from Finastra’s solutions and services.

You will partner closely with Account Executives from presales through the full customer lifecycle. While AEs coordinate activity through the sales cycle, you own customer success from point of sale—driving adoption, value realization, customer satisfaction, and long‑term retention.

Working in collaboration with the broader BU CXO teams, you will help deliver an excellent customer experience and support Finastra’s strategic goals of improved retention, increased adoption, and customer value creation.

• Proactively identify risks within accounts; orchestrate and mediate escalation resolution by coordinating the right internal stakeholders.
• Ensure clear tracking and reporting on adoption, usage, and customer health metrics.
