Axle is looking for a Customer Success Manager who will lead the successful onboarding, adoption, and ongoing success of our automotive clients, helping them integrate and operationalize insurance data within their workflows.
As a Customer Success Manager, you will own the Axle customer journey, ensuring clients are set up for long-term success and continue to expand their usage of Axle over time.

- Support key partnership initiatives by leveraging adoption and usage metrics to drive retention, expansion, and long-term success across dealer and rental markets.
- Contribute to recurring partnership checkpoints, executive business reviews, and internal technical escalations; define and track KPIs to measure adoption, customer satisfaction, and revenue growth.
- Collaborate closely with internal Axle teams to analyze tools and workflows, identify adoption gaps, and implement new processes and methods to consistently exceed performance targets.
- Serve as the voice of the customer internally by translating client and end-user feedback (e.g., dealerships and rental operators) into actionable insights for Product and Engineering, ensuring alignment between customer priorities and Axle’s roadmap.
What would set you up for success?
- Beneficial to have experience supporting automotive, fleet, dealership, rental car, or automotive insurance programs, particularly in a B2B or enterprise environment.
- 3+ years of experience in customer success, account management, or client relationship management
- Grit, enthusiasm, and a high degree of intellectual curiosity
