Customer Success Manager (f/m/d)
We help frontline operations reach a higher standard of execution by making compliance the backbone of how teams onboard, train, and work day to day. Our customers operate in logistics, manufacturing, food production, and other environments where precision and consistency matter, and our next stage of growth is a scalable, data-driven post-sale motion that reinforces operational excellence across their sites.
We’re hiring a Scaled Customer Success Manager to own our SMB customer segment. You’ll manage a broad portfolio, drive adoption and renewals, and design a digital-first journey that removes manual overhead. If you enjoy combining customer interaction with automation, process ownership, and measurable outcomes, this role gives you the room to build something that lasts.
🛠 What you’ll do
Manage a portfolio of roughly 150 SMB accounts (<150 Employees) across DACH and guide them from onboarding to renewal with a clear, outcome-driven approach.
Build a predictable, scaled customer motion by combining structured onboarding, automated lifecycle touchpoints (Digital CS), and focused human support where it matters most, for example personal kickoffs, webinars, and office hours
Build reporting and operational visibility in Planhat; define triggers, health metrics, and signals that help us act early instead of react late.
Identify adoption gaps and unblock them quickly through content, playbooks, or process improvements.
Work with Product, Support, and Sales to turn insights into product improvements, clearer workflows, and smarter rollouts.
Shape our long-term CS model by creating a repeatable journey that can later scale to larger segments.
🧑💼 Who you are
2+ years in Customer Success or a related GTM role, ideally in SaaS environments where scale and automation aren’t optional.
Comfortable managing a broad portfolio without losing depth or clarity.
Data-driven by default; you rely on signals, dashboards, and leading indicators to prioritize your week.
Strong communicator who can guide traditional, operational customers with confidence and structure.
Solid project and stakeholder management skills; you can run multiple onboardings while improving underlying processes at the same time.
Fluent in German & English and confident navigating discussions with operational and managerial stakeholders across the DACH region.
Motivated by ownership, not maintenance; you want to build something that raises the bar for how CS operates.
📈 What success looks like

6 Months

⭐ Why this role is interesting
You get full ownership of a segment that can shape the future of our CS model.
You’ll build a digital customer journey from the ground up, with strong ownership and room for your ideas, using best-in-class tools like Planhat and AI-based video generation.
You drive both the operational motion and the system behind it.
