The Role
As Technical Customer Success Manager for the US market, you are the primary point of contact for your customer cohort (of SMBs) once they've signed. You own their success, satisfaction, and retention end to end.
You actively build relationships, identify value drivers, and ensure every customer gets the most out of fonio. You'll spend most of your time in calls and meetings with customers and implementing or improving their setups.
What to Expect
Own a portfolio of US SMB customers across their full lifecycle
Build relationships, surface value, and find new use cases for AI agents to keep customers engaged
Support customers in setting up their AI assistant; implement workflows for medium complex cases and coordinate with developers for advanced setups
Run check-ins and proactive calls based on usage signals (low engagement, expansion opportunities, setup friction)
Work with a ready-made pipeline and clear playbooks, with room to test your own initiatives
Maximize the value generated from each customer in your portfolio
Spot churn risks early and act on them
Manage your activity autonomously in HubSpot
What You Bring
Must-haves
2–5 years in Customer Success, Account Management, Forward Deployed Engineering, or another technical client-facing role in SaaS/B2B

You build trust easily with customers, by phone or video
Structured and autonomous: you take initiative, test, iterate, and don’t wait to be told what to do
