Job Description

Canonical is a leading provider of open source software and operating systems to the global enterprise and technology markets.

Our platform, Ubuntu, is very widely used in breakthrough enterprise initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation and IoT.

Our customers include the world's leading public cloud and silicon providers, and industry leaders in many sectors. The company is a pioneer of global distributed collaboration, with 1000+ colleagues in 70+ countries and very few office based roles.

Teams meet two to four times yearly in person, in interesting locations around the world, to align on strategy and execution.

The company is founder led, profitable and growing.

We are hiring a Customer Success Regional Team Manager.

To support Canonical's growth, we are expanding our CSM team globally and recruiting leaders to help our team of Customer Success Managers across regions.

We consider our Customer Success operations an exceptional tool to sustain revenue retention and growth, placing excellence in delivering outstanding customer services in the new technologies sector.

As such, we are looking for exceptional candidates with proven track records in Customer Success and an obvious passion for new technologies.

Ideally, you have been a Customer Success Manager at one point in your career and naturally evolved to a leading position.

You will enjoy this role if you are organised, persistent, analytical, diplomatic, a listener, hard-working, and determined to grow your skills and teams.

As a lead, you are to provide mentoring, coaching in post-sales account management and feedback to team members. You play a crucial role in proactively identifying areas of improvement and implementing process change, driving high-performing teams.

You are comfortable dealing with ambiguity and quickly adapt to changes. You seek collaboration with other teams to enhance the overall customer experience.

Your key responsibility is to analyze regional performance metrics, identify trends and opportunities for improvement, and implement changes to increase efficiency and achieve business objectives.

You will work hand-in-hand with the Head of Customer Success.

CSMs engage a diverse customer base and follow diverse CSM motions to provide the appropriate level of focus for every customer.

The right candidate would adapt to this diversity and bring broad experience to the team.

Location : This is a globally remote role

The role entails :

Strategic planning and analysis : preparing communication plans, Team Meetings, and other messages shared in broader management forums, setting yourself and your team up for success.

Regularly reviewing key performance indicators and metrics is your baseline. You develop strategies to enhance customer engagement, improve retention rates, drive upsells or cross-sells where appropriate, and ultimately increase customer success.

Customer interactions and support to your team : you resolve escalated customer issues requiring expertise or intervention.

You work closely with your team members to ensure timely resolution.

Team management : you are passionate about guiding and supporting your team members, helping them navigate complex customer situations, improve their skills, and achieve their goals.

You are ready for regular performance reviews with team members. While your help in identifying areas for improvement is key, you are asked to celebrate excellence, recognise your team's achievements, and set goals for individual growth within the team.

Cross-functional collaboration : collaboration with other departments, such as Sales, Marketing, Product development, and Support, is essential.

This ensures alignment on customer needs, feedback sharing, and coordinated efforts to drive customer success. You establish trustworthy channels of communication across the board.

Documentation and reporting : you are allowed to be creative! While building content with your team and your manager, you also ensure the changes are well documented, instilling quality and attention to detail in all you do.

What we are looking for in you

  • Excellent academic results at school and university
  • Bachelor's or equivalent degree in Business, Communication or STEM
  • Knowledge and passion for Customer Success, revenue management and technology, experience in SaaS or software industries
  • Track record of bringing exceptional Customer Success experience results
  • Commitment to continuous learning and improvement - curious, flexible, scientific
  • Creative problem-solving and cross-team collaboration
  • Experience growing and developing a CSM team
  • Hands-on approach to using data to drive team activities and continuous improvement
  • Willingness to travel up to 4 times a year for internal events

Nice-to-have skills

We at the Customer Success team strongly appreciate various languages! Therefore, if you possess proficiency (both written and spoken) in Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, or Italian, alongside an excellent command of English, please inform us!

What we offer you

We consider geographical location, experience, and performance in shaping compensation worldwide. We revisit compensation annually (and more often for graduates and associates) to ensure we recognise outstanding performance.

In addition to base pay, we offer a performance-driven annual bonus. We provide all team members with additional benefits which reflect our values and ideals.

We balance our programs to meet local needs and ensure fairness globally.

  • Distributed work environment with twice-yearly team sprints in person - we've been working remotely since 2004!
  • Personal learning and development budget of USD 2,000 per year
  • Annual compensation review
  • Recognition rewards
  • Annual holiday leave
  • Maternity and paternity leave
  • Employee Assistance Programme
  • Opportunity to travel to new locations to meet colleagues from your team and others
  • Priority Pass for travel and travel upgrades for long haul company events
