Overview
The Customer Success Manager plays a pivotal role in delivering a high-quality and consistent post-sale experience to Prosci clients. This position is responsible for client onboarding, customer coordination, relationship management, and supporting the adoption of change management services and products related to Prosci’s license and membership offerings. The specialist collaborates closely with internal teams to ensure clients achieve their objectives. Key success metrics for this role include membership and license renewal rates, minimized churn, annual recurring revenue growth, and Net Promoter Score (NPS).
As a client-facing partner, the Customer Success Manager helps manage client engagements throughout the lifecycle, from onboarding through ongoing delivery and renewal readiness. Operating in a fully virtual environment, this role contributes to building trusted client relationships, monitoring client health, and supporting retention by ensuring a smooth, responsive, and well-coordinated experience.
The role will also support pre-sales engagement, partnering with Sales toward the end of the sales cycle to help prospects understand what the post-sale relationship will look like. This may include joining sales calls to provide an overview of the onboarding process, customer journey, and ongoing engagement model, helping ensure a smooth transition from sales to customer success through a structured handoff process.
A key responsibility of this role will be working with enterprise customers, which requires the ability to navigate complex organizations, engage with multiple stakeholders, and deliver a high-touch, white-glove customer experience. Candidates should be comfortable supporting enterprise-level engagements that often require strong coordination, strategic relationship management, and elements of project management. Driving customer retention and membership renewals within enterprise accounts will also be a critical responsibility, ensuring customers continue to realize value from Prosci’s offerings and remain engaged with the membership program.
