Customer Success Manager (SaaS, Account Management, Renewals & Retention) – Remote | U.S. Hours

Position Type: Full-Time, Remote
Working Hours: U.S. Business Hours

About the Role

At Pavago, one of our clients is hiring a Customer Success Manager (CSM) / Account Manager to own customer relationships, increase product adoption, drive renewals, and grow existing accounts.

• Account management
• Customer retention
• Renewals
• Upsells and expansion
• Customer health and engagement

You’ll manage a portfolio of accounts while working closely with Sales, Product, Support, and leadership to ensure customers achieve measurable value and remain long-term partners.

If you’re proactive, relationship-driven, and understand how customer outcomes connect to retention and recurring revenue, this role is a strong fit.

• You’re comfortable discussing renewals and expansion opportunities
• You can manage multiple accounts without losing visibility or follow-through
• You communicate confidently with executives and key stakeholders
• You balance customer advocacy with commercial business objectives

What a Typical Day Looks Like

You might start by reviewing customer health dashboards to identify at-risk accounts, upcoming renewals, and expansion opportunities.

Throughout the day, you’ll conduct onboarding sessions, customer check-ins, strategy calls, and QBRs while coordinating with Product, Sales, and Support on customer needs.

You’ll also update account records, track renewal opportunities, follow up with customers, and develop recommendations to improve adoption and account value.

In short: you ensure customers see value, stay engaged, renew successfully, and grow their relationship with the business over time.
