About the Role

We're looking for a seasoned and strategic Lead Renewals & Customer Success Manager to own our book of Enterprise accounts in the DACH region — driving adoption, building executive relationships, and leading complex contract renewals. This hybrid role sits at the intersection of Customer Success and Renewals, and you'll also play a key part in shaping Culture Amp's Enterprise CX playbook.

What You Bring to Our Camp

Culture Amp is a fast-growth organisation and you'll be expected to learn quickly and be accountable for the success of your customers.

Ideally 7+ years of experience in Customer Success, Renewals, or Account Management in a SaaS or Enterprise software environment.
A background in a customer-facing SaaS role — or first-hand HR/People & Culture experience — enabling you to build empathy and become a trusted advisor to your customers.
A strong passion for collaborating with and helping others succeed, be it your customers or teammates.
You will get creative with solutions, demonstrate perseverance, and work with others to achieve far more than you could on your own.
Your life experiences and knowledge will be unique; you'll be encouraged to participate and bring diversity of thought to Culture Amp.
Proven track record of meeting or exceeding retention and revenue goals, including managing complex, million-dollar-plus contract renewals.
Deep understanding of SaaS metrics (ARR, GRR, NRR) and financial concepts like ROI and TCO to articulate customer value.
Strong mentorship and coaching capabilities, with a collaborative and 'learn-it-all' approach to team development.
Proficiency in CRM and Customer Success platforms (Salesforce and Vitally preferred), plus Zoom, Slack, and G-Suite.

Your Role at Culture Amp

Own our book of Enterprise customers (1,000+ employees) across DACH, serving as their primary strategic advisor throughout the full customer lifecycle.
Lead strategic conversations with customers and their Executive teams (CPOs, Heads of People, Org Development) alongside People Scientists or Account Managers, leveraging your knowledge of People & Culture topics to advise on people strategies.
Proactively drive product adoption, retention, and business outcomes across your Enterprise book of business.
Facilitate key customer journey touchpoints including Partnership Kick-Offs, Feedback Strategy Reviews, Business Reviews, Project Meetings, and platform enablement sessions.
Develop and execute strategic plans to secure on-time renewals for Enterprise customers, proactively identifying and mitigating renewal risks.
Lead complex contract negotiations end-to-end — partnering with legal and finance on terms, pricing, and compliance — and re-sell value to accounts that need re-engagement.
Serve as the primary point of contact for all renewal discussions, balancing customer needs with company objectives and accurately forecasting your pipeline.
Work closely with Account Executives to identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities at renewal, and collaborate with CSMs, People Scientists, Product, and Support for a seamless customer experience.
Reset expectations with customers by having challenging conversations when appropriate.
Nurture and track renewal success and customer value in the CRM, communicating openly and keeping relevant information up to date.
Advance the customer voice by providing feedback to Product and Engineering on where the platform can better solve customer challenges.
Contribute to and lead continuous improvement activities that will help Culture Amp and the Customer Success profession grow (be a 'Learn-it-all', not a 'Know-it-all').

Leadership & Team Enablement

Serve as your region's key contributor for renewal and customer success best practices, taking a customer-first approach.
Mentor and guide Renewal Managers and CSMs, enhancing their skills in customer engagement, negotiation, and pipeline management.
Identify inefficiencies in renewal and success workflows, recommending improvements to enhance team performance and operational scalability.
Contribute to the ongoing refinement of Enterprise Renewal playbooks, procedures, policies, and tooling — including pricing reviews, auto-renewal policies, discounting frameworks, and objection handling libraries.

After 3 Months You'll

Take ownership of your book of Enterprise customers in DACH, working collaboratively in the local Enterprise CX team to ensure a smooth launch and high-quality customer experience.
Facilitate delivery of key customer journey touchpoints: Partnership Kick-Offs, Feedback Strategy Reviews, Business Reviews, and Project Meetings.
Have learned the core elements of the Culture Amp platform (employee feedback, performance & development) and built fluency in renewal processes and tooling.
Built internal relationships crucial to the successful delivery and retention of accounts
Be contributing to and collaborating on projects, such as partnering with other teams to support growth.
