About The Position

The Customer Success Manager (CSM) at ISI serves as the customer relationship owner for a portfolio of managed services customers. This role is responsible for driving customer retention, renewal readiness, business review cadence, account health visibility, and overall customer alignment across ISI’s managed service offerings. Unlike a traditional SaaS-focused CSM role, this position operates within a managed services environment where customer success is closely tied to service delivery coordination, issue trends, escalation management, contractual alignment, and long-term customer confidence in ISI as an ongoing service partner. The CSM acts as a trusted advisor and internal quarterback for the customer account, ensuring the right internal teams are aligned to customer priorities and that customers understand the value ISI is delivering. This role requires strong communication, accountability, commercial awareness, and the ability to manage both day-to-day account health and more strategic conversations for higher-value customers.
