Senior Customer Success Manager

As a Senior Customer Success Manager at Paddle, your primary responsibilities will include successfully onboarding new customers, developing trusted advisor relationships with key stakeholders, providing best practice guidance on key operations, identifying and executing strategies for revenue growth, and acting as an internal advocate for your customers. You will be essential in maximizing the value that Paddle brings to our customers and ensuring they have a positive experience.

To thrive as a Senior Customer Success Manager at Paddle, you should have demonstrable success in Customer Success Management roles, preferably with a portfolio of fast-growth customers. A background in Payments, Fintech, or Software is an advantage. Excellent communication skills, analytical abilities, and a customer-first mindset are crucial. An understanding of SaaS strategies, such as customer acquisition and retention, will serve you well in this role.

In your role as a Senior Customer Success Manager at Paddle, you can help customers achieve success by fostering trusted relationships, understanding their unique needs, and providing tailored advice on using Paddle’s platform effectively. By leveraging your analytic skills to identify growth opportunities and guiding them through best practices in customer experience, you will empower them to realize their business objectives within our ecosystem.

While having experience in a Merchant of Record model is desirable for the Senior Customer Success Manager role at Paddle, it is not an absolute requirement. Candidates with strong backgrounds in Customer Success Management, especially within Fintech and Software sectors, will also be considered. What is crucial is your ability to learn quickly about Paddle’s offerings and successfully convey their value to customers.

As a Senior Customer Success Manager at Paddle, you can expect a culture that prioritizes collaboration, respect, and transparency. Paddle believes in celebrating diversity and individuality, creating an environment where all employees feel welcome to be their authentic selves.

When onboarding a new customer at Paddle, I would start with understanding their unique business goals and challenges. I would utilize Paddle’s resources and tools to guide them through the onboarding processes, ensuring they are set up for success from the start. Continuous communication and available support will be key to making this experience seamless and effective.

Absolutely! In a previous role, I noticed a client was dissatisfied with their results. I scheduled a face-to-face meeting to discuss their concerns and listened intently to their feedback. By identifying specific pain points and proposing actionable strategies aligned with their goals, we were able to rebuild trust and ultimately achieve significant improvement in their performance.

In measuring customer success, I focus on key metrics such as customer retention rates, Net Promoter Score (NPS), customer engagement levels, and revenue growth within the portfolio. By analyzing these metrics, I can identify trends and areas for improvement, allowing me to implement strategies that drive customer success.

In instances of conflicting priorities, I find that transparent communication is critical. I would assess each customer’s needs and outcomes individually, prioritizing based on the urgency and overall impact. By setting clear expectations and discussing timelines, I can help customers understand the process while ensuring their needs are met as best as possible.

To effectively advocate for a customer at Paddle, I would gather all necessary insights and feedback regarding their concerns and needs. I would then present a compelling case to relevant internal teams, articulating the customer’s situation and how it aligns with Paddle’s broader business objectives, ensuring that their voice is represented in decision-making.

I stay updated on industry trends by subscribing to leading fintech publications, participating in relevant webinars, and networking with industry professionals. Engaging in discussions about market shifts allows me to bring value to my customers by implementing best practices and innovative solutions that align with the evolving landscape.

When developing best practice strategies for a customer, I take into account their unique business goals, customer demographics, and benchmark performance. I aim to combine quantitative data with qualitative insights from the customer to craft a tailored plan that addresses their needs while leveraging proven strategies for acquisition and retention.

In a previous role, I implemented a targeted upsell strategy by analyzing customer usage data and identifying additional features that would benefit them. This involved personalized outreach, showcasing the added value of the new features, and ultimately led to a noticeable increase in customer spend and satisfaction.

Handling customer feedback is an opportunity for growth. For positive feedback, I make sure to acknowledge it and share it with the relevant teams, reinforcing successful practices. With negative feedback, I approach it as constructive criticism: I listen carefully, confirm understanding, and take action to rectify the issues, ensuring the customer feels valued and heard.

Building long-term relationships begins with establishing trust and clear communication. I ensure regular check-ins, actively listen to customers’ evolving needs, and provide solutions that drive their success. By being proactive and accessible, I can nurture these relationships, fostering loyalty and ongoing success for both the customer and Paddle.
