About The Position

We are looking for a Customer Success Manager to join our growing team. This position is ideal for someone who is deeply customer-focused and takes pride in delivering exceptional client experiences. You are highly detail-oriented, proactive and organized, with a strong sense of ownership over your work and your accounts; you take pride in producing high-quality work and holding yourself to a high standard. You are comfortable working independently and managing your own portfolio, while also contributing to a collaborative, close-knit team that values support, knowledge-sharing and camaraderie. You are a strong critical thinker who can connect the dots across client needs, data and business goals. You bring a commercial mindset to your work. While this is not a quota-carrying role, you are confident identifying opportunities for account growth, asking the right questions and partnering with sales when needed. You can translate what you are hearing from clients into clear, compelling insights that support internal sales and marketing efforts. Our Customer Success team plays a key role in client delivery, product feedback and supporting the sales process. Market research experience is an asset but not required. This role requires working Eastern Time Zone hours to support our client base. We have offices in Vancouver and Toronto and open to candidates based in both regions. Reporting to the VP of Customer Success, you'll get the opportunity to work directly with clients on their projects and build a trusted advisor relationship 🤝 Who are we? When you join Rival Group, you’re not just accelerating your career, you’re also helping shape the future of customer insights and market research. We’re a forward-thinking, results-driven organization obsessed with helping innovative brands get closer to their customers in a way that feels fresh, organic, and fun. Rival Technologies, the tech arm of our business, is the world’s best conversational research platform and one of Vancouver’s fastest-growing tech companies. 🚀 Reach3 Insights, our consulting side, is an award-winning 🏆 market research agency with offices in Chicago, Toronto, and Vancouver. Together, we’re helping brands like Coca-Cola, Kellogg’s, Dell Technologies, REVOLT TV, and Roblox get better insights they can use to deliver better products, create more impactful marketing campaigns, and improve the end-to-end customer experience. Our customers LOVE our tech and services. We’re growing fast—and we’re inviting great people to join us on the ride 🎢 If making measurable, immediate impact while having fun sounds like your jam, then we invite you to apply! 👇
