About The Position

Custom Channels is a leading B2B music streaming company for thousands of major brands in North America. Music is at the heart of what we do.

Brands like CAVA, Hilton, Smile Doctors, Veronica Beard & Floyd's Barbershop rely on our software platform to deliver a seamless and fully-licensed music experience. We are looking for a relationship-driven, strategic, and results-oriented Customer Success Manager to join our growing team and lead our CS function. This role will own the post-sale, renewal and cross-sell experience for Custom Channels' most important accounts: mid-market and enterprise customers in the $20K–$200K+ annual spend range. With a focus on retention, you will help define what a world-class CS function looks like at Custom Channels, working closely with our leadership team and collaborating cross-functionally to ensure our top clients receive proactive, high-touch service. This is a hybrid role based at our Denver, CO office (three days per week), with Mondays and Fridays remote. The ideal Customer Success Manager brings a consultative, proactive approach to account management and can build trusted advisor relationships with stakeholders at our most strategic accounts. You will own a book of business that includes some of our highest-profile brand partners, lead structured Quarterly Business Reviews, identify expansion and upsell opportunities - selling new products & features, and serve as the internal voice of the customer. This role requires strong executive communication skills, comfort managing complex stakeholder relationships, project management, and the ability to translate customer goals into measurable outcomes. Experience in Customer Success or Account Management, HubSpot (or comparable CRM) and willingness to roll your sleeves up - and wear the many hats required at a small but growing business. Prior experience in adjacent verticals such as digital signage, audio/visual technology, or in-store media is a strong plus.
