Join us on our mission to shape the future of our industry.
At Cohesity, we are transforming data management. Our advanced technology is changing the way businesses store, manage, and protect their data. As a Principal Customer Success Manager you will have a highly impactful role in ensuring our customers' success by enhancing their experience, driving adoption of our technology, and reducing churn. This is an outstanding opportunity to work with enterprise customers, making a positive impact on their business while gaining valuable insights that improve Cohesity's value proposition.
This is a challenging role that requires significant Customer Success experience, as well as exceptional customer relationship development, operational expertise, plan building and execution, cross functional collaboration, and analytical skills. We are looking for someone that is truly passionate about customer advocacy and has previous experiences to prove it. Additionally, you will focus on quality management; foster an environment of innovation and high accountability and demonstrate the ability to drive continuous operational improvement as a way of working and managing. Are you, by nature, a conservative risk-taker, with a high level of ambition, who can thrive in an environment of change? This might just be the position for you.

- Increase the lifetime value of the Customer through greater advocacy, serving as a customer advocate in the evolution of our products and platform functionality integral to the customer's success.
- Elevate the customer experience by achieving higher product adoption, customer satisfaction, and overall health scores.
- Ensure delivery on key operational metrics, including Customer Health, Adoption (Consumption & Usage), Reference-ability, Renewal Likelihood, Upsell / Cross-Sell Potential, and Net Retention Rate and churn.
- Drive premier and programmatic Customer Success practices that support consistent customer lifecycle improvements and faster Time to Value (TtV).
- Work closely with Account Teams and Renewals Managers to identify new opportunities and upsell potential while addressing any issues putting renewals at risk.
- Engage broadly across the Customer organization from users through to C-Level/Influencer as required.
- Ensure customer feedback and required capabilities are clearly captured and conveyed internally to enable ongoing improvement of process, products, and services.
- Support customers by addressing important issues and, if necessary, creating effective guidelines for their specific needs.
- Ability to onboard Cohesity customers to achieve agreed-upon outcomes post-implementation.
- Collaborate with our Critical Accounts Program (CAP) team to assist in restoring accounts with negative sentiment to a positive state.
- Understand and report back on "voice of customer" feedback collected from randomly selected Cohesity customers and address any issues and provide follow-up.
WE'D LOVE TO TALK IF YOU HAVE MANY OF THE FOLLOWING:
- 7+ years of Customer Success experience (or Account Management experience as an AE, SE, CSM, Operations Manager, or equivalent strongly preferred)
- Technical knowledge of data protect, data management, and/or data security SaaS products is preferred
