You are responsible for the gross retention of your book of business, ensuring customers renew with Expel because they recognize us as indispensable to their security program. You accomplish this by owning the strategic relationship with economic buyers and key decision-makers, orchestrating internal resources to deliver technical value, ensuring Expel demonstrably improves their security posture, and that customers can articulate that value to their internal stakeholders, including economic buyers.You are the single point of accountability for customer health and commercial outcomes within your portfolio. You lead quarterly business reviews, accurately forecast renewals, and identify expansion opportunities for Account Executives to pursue. When technical depth is needed, you partner with Technical Account Managers (for strategic accounts) or pull in Security Solutions Engineers and Technical Support Engineers to ensure customers get the expertise they need, while you maintain focus on the business relationship and value realization.Beyond your book of business, you drive structural improvements to how Customer Success operates. You identify systemic gaps in the customer journey, design solutions, and drive implementation across the organization. You set the standard for what great customer management looks like and help less experienced CSMs develop their skills through coaching and mentorship.Your success is measured by At-Bat Renewal Rate (ABR) and Dollar-Based Gross Retention (DBGR) within your portfolio, and by your contribution to improving CS operational effectiveness.
