About The Position

The Customer Success Manager is responsible for managing and developing a portfolio of existing Hosting.com customers. The role focuses on understanding who our customers are, what they use Hosting.com for, how satisfied they are, where risks exist, and where opportunities for retention, upsell, cross-sell, or infrastructure expansion may exist. The CSM acts as the customer relationship owner and internal voice of the customer. A key part of the role is to build account intelligence across assigned customers, especially top-spend and high-potential accounts, and identify where Hosting.com can provide additional value through hosting, domains, VPS, dedicated servers, bare metal, cloud infrastructure, or cost optimization. The CSM qualifies commercial and infrastructure opportunities and hands them over to Technical Sales when deeper technical discovery is required. The CSM is expected to help grow revenue within their assigned customer portfolio by 10% through improved retention, upsell, cross-sell, and qualified infrastructure opportunities handed over to Technical Sales.
