Validity – Associate Customer Success Manager, Sao Paulo

Job Description

In this role, the Associate Customer Success Manager (ACSM) has a strong focus on clients, their email programs, and how to troubleshoot any issues they are having with email deliverability, based on the data and tools customers have available to them through Validity’s Everest platform.

The ACSM is responsible for delivering ongoing proactive and reactive support to our customer community. “Community” refers to the customers who, based on spend, do not receive a dedicated Customer Support Manager for general product and support inquiries, but instead their requests are managed through a team of Associate Success Managers via a queue. In addition to managing a queue of incoming requests, ACSMs are also responsible for delivering proactive outreach to the community, ensuring timely, relevant, and meaningful information is shared that will improve customer adoption, retention, and the overall customer experience.

Each day will vary but an ACSM can expect a typical day to consist of managing the incoming customer request queue alongside other ACSMs, providing general guidance and instructions to customers, problem-solving customer issues, and proactively reaching out to customers with relevant content and periodic check-ins.

About the Team

The Associate Customer Success Manager reports to the Director of Customer Success. The ACSM works very closely within their Community CSM team to manage the queue of customer inquiries focused on resolving customer requests as quickly as possible and delivering an exceptional customer experience. The ACSM also works very closely with the Customer Support team in transferring queries to them which require more technical support and vice versa. The ACSMs also work alongside Dedicated CSMs (owning 1:1 customer relationships) for sharing best practices but also to ensure smooth handover of customers moving across dedicated/pooled as well as with the team responsible for onboarding new customers.

We are looking for a candidate who is positive, driven and has a customer-first mentality. The candidate must be an exceptional team player, as this team’s success requires an equally distributed workload across the team, with efficient execution of customer queries whilst maintaining high service standards and customer satisfaction. This individual is someone who works well with others, has a “get the job done” mentality, and can contribute his/her own expertise in Email and/or customer success to ensure high levels of adoption and customer retention.
