What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Customer Success Manager position at Planhat?
Competencies
Our team comes from diverse backgrounds, the common denominator is drive and ambition. You've spent a minimum of 5 years in high-performance environments like management consulting, enterprise sales, or a fast-growth startup, where clear thinking, fast execution, and accountability to outcomes were non-negotiable. You have a proven track record managing a portfolio of enterprise customers and have been consistently promoted and entrusted with increasing responsibility. You bring strong business acumen, genuine curiosity about AI and the SaaS landscape, and a winner's mentality with a track record in competitive sports, academics, or other arenas that proves you're top talent who rises to every challenge.
Commercially focused: you think in terms of revenue and business outcomes and can engage with senior enterprise stakeholders on the metrics and strategies that impact their bottom line
Comfortable owning the full outcome: you connect product adoption to measurable business impact and view customer outcomes as a direct reflection of your work
Self-directed and adaptable: you take initiative without waiting for direction, learn quickly, and thrive when given autonomy and accountability over strategic accounts
Tech-savvy curiosity: you're naturally interested in how technology and AI can create leverage, improve decisions, and shape new ways of working
Highly ambitious: you set challenging goals and execute with urgency, driven by growth for both your customers and yourself

Own commercial outcomes end to end on a portfolio of enterprise customers, driving retention and maximizing NRR at the highest level
Deliver measurable customer outcomes, aligning your strategy to either revenue expansion or operational efficiency and systematically tracking progress

Drive product adoption as the foundation for creating long-term value and sustainable revenue growth across complex, multi-stakeholder accounts
Inform product and go-to-market strategy through your direct enterprise customer engagement, shaping product roadmap priorities and commercial strategy
Mentor and support junior CSMs within the team, raising the overall standard of customer management at Planhat
Outcomes/definition of success
The ones who succeed in this role are becoming the leaders of the next decade. They own the revenue on Planhat's most strategic accounts, stay closest to the customer, and deliver the outcomes that matter most.
You are continuously growing your enterprise portfolio's revenue, hitting and exceeding NRR targets quarter over quarter
You are consistently seen as a trusted advisor to senior revenue leaders at some of Planhat's most strategic accounts
You are proactively identifying expansion opportunities and acting on churn signals before they become problems at the enterprise level
