Customer Success Manager, Publisher

Redbrick • New York, NY

2d • $75,000 - $85,000 • Remote

About The Position

Paved is a newsletter advertising platform that connects brands with publishers, helping advertisers reach engaged audiences while giving publishers new ways to monetize their newsletters. We’re looking for an experienced Customer Success Manager to own and grow our publisher relationships. You’ll onboard new newsletters onto the Paved platform, activate them across our Marketplace and Ad Network, and turn early partnerships into consistent, growing revenue. Your book will span independent SMB newsletters through enterprise media brands, and you’ll need the range to move comfortably between both. This is a relationship role with a revenue number attached. You’ll work closely with publishers to understand their business, identify opportunities to grow monetization, and use performance data to recommend what they should do next. You understand digital advertising and publisher monetization, ideally within email, and you’re equally comfortable talking through fill rate, RPM, and inventory strategy or walking a first-time publisher through their ad tag setup. Paved is a small, fast-moving team, so you’ll have significant ownership over how you manage your accounts and get results. You’re comfortable working autonomously, figuring things out without a perfect playbook, and moving between strategic account conversations and hands-on problem solving.

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience in customer success, account management, partnerships, or publisher development, ideally in AdTech, media, or digital advertising
• Experience in email or newsletter advertising specifically (LiveIntent, OpenWeb, Passendo, Beehiiv, Kevel, or similar) is strongly preferred
• Direct experience onboarding publishers or partners onto a platform, including the technical setup that comes with it
• A track record of growing existing accounts, not just maintaining them
• Comfort working across the full range from SMB to enterprise, and the judgment to know when each needs a different approach
• Working fluency in ad tech fundamentals: CPM, CPC, CPA, fill rate, RPM, and how an auction actually clears
• Strong sales acumen with the ability to negotiate and close deals
• Excellent relationship management and communication skills
• Solid analytical skills with the ability to interpret data, extract insights, and drive strategic recommendations
• Self-motivated, results-driven, and comfortable in a fast-paced, high-growth environment with little day-to-day supervision
• Experience with CRMs
• Fluent in English (additional languages are a plus)

Responsibilities
