Senior Customer Success Manager

See yourself at Twilio

Join the team as our next Senior Customer Success Manager on Twilio’s Segment team.

About the job

At Segment, we believe companies should be able to send their data wherever they want, whenever they want, with no fuss. We make this easy with a single platform that collects, stores, filters, transforms, and sends data to hundreds of business tools with the flip of a switch. More recently, we also developed the ability to let customers enrich their data in real time using computations they specify. Our goal is to make it easy to understand, extract value, and protect the integrity of data. We are creating a world where engineers spend their time working on their core product, letting us take care of the complexities of processing their customer data reliably at scale. We’re in the running to take over the entire customer data ecosystem, and we need the best people to take the market. 

The Customer Success Management team at Segment is the central touchpoint for our customers, orchestrating the post-sales customer lifecycle in partnership with professional services, sales and support. The team manages the customer relationship, coordinates internally within Segment, drives product adoption and guides the customer to take full advantage of our ecosystem.

So if you get excited about things like defining culture and process, you may be the Customer Success Manager we’re looking for!
