What they actually want (must-haves)
  • 12+ years in customer success management, engagement management, technical delivery, professional services, or sales engineering, in B2B SaaS.
  • Background in solutions engineering, sales engineering, or technical consulting where you acted as a bridge between business teams and engineering.
  • Experience establishing or scaling early-stage Customer Success frameworks (e.g., building playbook templates, health-score scoring systems, or churn-risk matrixes).
  • Track record of identifying expansion opportunities (upsells/cross-sells) and collaborating closely with Account Executives/Sales to close them.
  • You have led, mentored, or managed team members and driven team-wide KPIs.
  • You have built, negotiated, and held relationships with C-suite and senior enterprise stakeholders.
What the job really is

As a Senior / Team Lead Customer Success Manager at Nexla, you will manage a portfolio of 10-15 strategic enterprise accounts while also leading and mentoring a small team of Customer Success Managers. Your role involves overseeing complex implementations, driving retention and expansion, and maintaining executive relationships within your accounts. You will be the primary voice of the customer internally and will leverage AI tools to enhance customer communication and account reporting.

Things to weigh
  • The role requires balancing technical execution with high-level value creation, which may be challenging.
  • This is a small team, so you will be managing accounts in addition to leading others; it's not a pure people-management role.
  • The position requires US West Coast coverage, which may affect work-life balance depending on your location.
  • Compensation is based on depth and experience rather than title, which may lead to variability in salary expectations.
