Customer Success Team Lead (German-speaking)

Drive the team's upsell performance

• Coach CSMs on spotting and running framework and service upsells within their books
• Keep the team's upsell pipeline clean and be accountable for the team's upsell number

Run your own portfolio

• Manage customers end to end: implementation, audit readiness, ongoing compliance, and upsell within those accounts
• Stay close enough to the day-to-day work that your coaching is grounded in it

About You

This is a player-coach role where you'll be 60-70% hands-on operating with your own book of business, and 30-40% conducting management tasks. You'll be the line manager for all CSMs and run 1:1s, feedback loops, onboarding, and provide inputs to performance reviews and career development, while keeping a reduced portfolio of your own customers (because we don't think you can coach CSMs well on work you don't do).

• You've managed or formally coached CSMs before for at least 1 year and want to keep doing it; this isn't a first step into management
• 4+ years as a Customer Success Manager in B2B SaaS, ideally with mid-market or DACH Mittelstand customers
• Fluent German and English as our CSM team works with customers in both
• Comfortable with a revenue component: you've carried an upsell or NRR target yourself and can coach others toward one
• You've built automations or AI workflows for yourself or your team, not just used chat tools, and you'd want to do the same here.
• Structured and direct in feedback; you can run a hard performance conversation without the Head of CS in the room
• You work well in a written-first remote team: clear specs and updates over meetings, high ownership, low need for synchronous oversight

Nice to have

• Experience in compliance, information security or GRC (ISO 27001 or TISAX in particular)
• You've built or reworked a CSM onboarding programme before
• You've worked in a fully remote team of a similar size

Interview Process

• Screening call with Steve, our recruiter
• Interview with Kuba, Head of Customer Success
• Take-home challenge
• Challenge interview with Kuba and Fabiola, our CEO
• Culture interview with Grigory, CTO
• Meet for a final lunch in-person with Kuba (we'll fly you!)
