Customer Success Manager, Strategic - Americas (EST)

Ashby•San Francisco, CA

About The Position

About this Role Our Customer Success Team is passionate about shaping and scaling an exceptional upmarket customer experience across the Enterprise Segment. We’re thrilled to be hiring our next Strategic CSM in the EST time zone as we continue to grow the team. In this role, you'll guide Ashby's biggest customers - focusing on improved product adoption and increased customer health. You will shape how we serve customers ranging from high growth organizations to public companies. Ashby is designed to be powerful and flexible, allowing users to adjust it to their needs. This means that there is a lot to learn. You will become a product and domain expert in order to enable our customers to make the best use of Ashby to drive hiring excellence.

Requirements

You have a strong track record of customer success experience in B2B SaaS (at least five years), supporting the implementation and adoption of complex technologies through the customer journey.
You’re comfortable managing a book of ~20 strategic customers, exceeding $2m in total ARR. You enjoy multi-threading, developing relationships across a broad set of stakeholders while supporting existing teams to drive adoption and retention.
You have experience working closely with cross-functional stakeholders across Sales, Marketing, Product, and Operations.
You love becoming a product and industry expert. You create ‘Ah ha!’ moments by tailoring configuration, driving product adoption, and crafting training to address a customer’s specific challenges so they achieve their intended business outcomes.
You’ve worked with technically complex products and show a strong curiosity to explore details and understand how things work.

Nice To Haves

You communicate with precision and clarity. You can take something complex (like a multi-layered report or a nuanced workflow) and explain it simply and confidently.
You are a listener first. You seek to understand what customers actually need and then advocate for them internally to shape how Ashby evolves for enterprise use cases.
You thrive in complexity. Ashby is powerful and highly configurable; you’re energized by learning a product with depth, and you can translate that knowledge into creative solutions for your customers.
You’re excited to help shape a new segment. Our Strategic customer motion is still evolving; you’ll be iterating on playbooks, helping us learn what works, and turning those learnings into repeatable processes for the team.
Your peers describe you as detail oriented. You send crisp follow-up emails, on time. You take pride in internal operations, like real-time CRM updates.
You are always looking for ways to improve your work through data.
You may have been a recruiter, hiring manager, or interviewer before. That experience helps you quickly connect Ashby’s workflows to real-world hiring problems (though it’s not required).

Benefits

You’ll get the time to do things the right way; we put a lot of emphasis on high quality work and avoid quick hacks as much as possible.
10-year exercise window for stock options. You shouldn’t feel pressure to purchase stock options if you leave Ashby —do it when you feel financially comfortable.
Unlimited PTO with four weeks is recommended per year. Expect “Vacation?” in our one-on-one agenda until you start taking it 😅
Twelve weeks of fully paid family leave in the US. We plan to expand this to employees in other countries as situations arise.
Generous equipment, software, and office furniture budget. Get what you need to be happy and productive!
$100/month education budget with more expensive items (like conferences) covered with manager approval.
If you’re in the US, we offer top-tier health insurance for you and your dependents, with 100% of premiums covered by Ashby. We also offer a 3% 401k match.
