About the Role

Are you driven by curiosity and a competitive spirit? Do you thrive in an environment where growth, innovation, and customer satisfaction are at the forefront? We're looking for a Customer Success Manager to join our A-team and manage a high-potential book of business with opportunities for growth and adoption.

Collaborate with the Account Executive to identify and capitalize on cross-sell, upsell, and renewal opportunities.

Customer relationships & success

Partner with clients to accelerate time to value and increase customer satisfaction throughout the lifecycle.
Establish yourself as a trusted advisor, providing innovative solutions and thinking outside the box to meet specific use cases.
Build deep relationships with key stakeholders, at all levels, within the customer organization to gather feedback and align on future success.
Drive resolution on escalated issues to ensure customer satisfaction.

Communication & advocacy

Define, execute, and clearly communicate ROI for clients to showcase measurable success.
Create impactful customer content, from account plans and success stories to executive business reviews and save plans.
Leverage strong relationships for referrals and advocacy.

Cross-functional impact

A solid understanding of Customer Success best practices, strategies, and execution.
Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to present to and interface with all levels of an organization, from admin to C-suite.
Ability to simplify complex problems and execute solutions with precision.
Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams such as Sales, Product, Marketing, and Services.
Hands-on Salesforce ecosystem experience is required.
Nice to Have: Higher Education industry experience.

About Blackthorn

Blackthorn turns any organization's Salesforce® CRM into event planning software powered by their connected data. We're a growing, distributed team with teammates across the globe, and we build Salesforce-native tools that help teams create events, engage attendees, process payments, and measure success — all without leaving their CRM. Our customers range from tiny nonprofits to global corporations, and our products are known for going live in hours, not weeks. We believe the best enterprise software should feel as intuitive as the apps you use every day.

Why our work matters

Most event management tools force teams to juggle disconnected systems, wrestle with flimsy integrations, and spend more time syncing data than planning events. We're building the alternative: a connected platform inside Salesforce that gives organizations richer analytics to prove event ROI, better attendee experiences through personalization and automation, and the flexibility to fit any workflow. Every feature we ship helps our customers spend less time on logistics and more time on the events themselves.

What the job will bring you

A deep level of satisfaction through ownership of your role. You'll get more autonomy than at other companies (our team has told us). Connection. Our team is tightly knit, assisted through occasional team meetups (as we're remote). Challenge. We're trying to move as quickly as possible. This is not for you if you want to sit back and chill. As Ray Dalio says about life, "Meaningful work and meaningful relationships" provide meaning to life. We aim to bring this.

While we are a remote-first culture, we are currently only able to accept applicants in AZ, CA, CO, FL, GA, IL, KY, MD, MI, MN, MO, MT, NC, NH, NJ, NY, OH, PA, SC, SD, TX, VA, WA, and WI
