Customer Success Team Lead
📣 Role Summary
We’re looking for a Customer Success Team Lead to join Topline Pro and help shape the future of our customer experience. This is a unique opportunity to step into a true player coach role where you’ll both lead and directly contribute, guiding a small team in a call first, high touch environment while ensuring every customer interaction is consultative, strategic, and impactful.
This is not traditional enterprise customer success. Our customers are small business owners, and engagement is frequent, advice driven, and execution focused. Success in this role means building a team that knows how to prioritize effectively, move quickly, and drive measurable impact across retention and growth.
To set you up for success, your first three months will be hands on as an individual contributor. You’ll operate as a Customer Success Manager, manage your own book of customers, learn the product deeply, and internalize our operating model before formally stepping into full team leadership ownership.
If you’re data driven, thrive in fast paced environments, and want to make a measurable impact on retention and expansion, this role will put you at the center of building an exceptional and durable customer journey.
⚡ What you'll do
Lead a small customer success team while still contributing as an IC.
Drive customer engagement in a call-first environment, ensuring conversations are high-quality and consultative.
Run team rituals (stand-ups, reviews) anchored in performance data and activity trends.
Coach team members on call quality, data use, and customer strategy.
Re-plan priorities quickly in response to evolving customer needs and insights.
Partner cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, and Product to align on customer health.
Track and improve core success metrics: NRR, GRR, churn, response times, reactivations, and downgrades.
🎯 What we’re looking for
5+ years of customer success or customer experience background.
1+ years of direct people management experience.
Proven success operating in a high-activity, phone-first environment.
Strong data-driven mindset; comfortable analyzing metrics and coaching from data.
Excellent communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.
Ability to balance hands-on execution with emerging leadership responsibilities.
🤗 Who you are
A player-coach who thrives in both doing the work and leading others.
Energized by a call-first, customer-centric culture (but understand this isn’t a call center).
Naturally analytical — you use data to prioritize, measure, and continuously improve.
Adaptable and resilient in fast-paced, evolving environments.
A team-builder who creates clarity, trust, and accountability through lightweight systems.
Excited to make a direct, measurable impact on customers and the business.
