Customer Success Manager - North America

About the Role

As a Customer Success Manager at Camunda, you’ll be the strategic partner to a portfolio of enterprise customers, helping them turn complex process orchestration and automation goals into real, measurable outcomes. You’ll sit at the intersection of business impact and technical possibility—guiding customers through adoption, growth, and renewal while collaborating closely with Sales, Product, Engineering, Consulting, and Support. In line with our FAITH values (Focus, Ambition, Integrity, Talent, Humor), you’ll combine clear thinking, honest partnership, and a bias for action to drive long-term success for our customers and for Camunda.

What you'll be doing

• Own a portfolio of enterprise customers and act as their primary strategic partner from onboarding through renewal—aligning on goals, success measures, and an adoption roadmap that delivers real business value.
• Drive retention and expansion by managing health, risk, and opportunities across your accounts, partnering with Sales and internal teams to secure renewals and uncover meaningful growth opportunities.
• Lead structured customer conversations (e.g., onboarding sessions, success plan reviews, value and health check-ins) that connect Camunda capabilities to customer outcomes in clear, business-friendly terms.
• Use data to tell the story—leveraging usage, value, and health signals to prioritize actions, forecast outcomes, and make informed recommendations for both customers and internal stakeholders.
• Project manage cross-functional work (with TAMs, Consulting, Product, and Support) to unblock customers, close the loop on issues, and keep complex programs moving forward.
• Contribute to our Customer Success practice by sharing learnings, mentoring peers, and helping refine playbooks, processes, and tooling as our team and portfolio scale.

What you bring

• Ability and/or willingness to use our product.
• Relevant experience: 3+ years in Customer Success, Strategic Account Management, or customer-facing consulting in B2B software, ideally working with enterprise customers.
• Relationship & stakeholder management: Proven ability to build trust with senior and operational stakeholders, navigate complex organizations, and lead candid, outcome-focused conversations.
• Commercial awareness & forecasting: Experience supporting or owning renewals and expansion in a recurring revenue model, including comfort with forecasting, pipeline hygiene, and risk/opportunity assessment.
• Data-informed decision-making: Ability to interpret customer data (adoption, health signals, value metrics) and turn it into clear insights, priorities, and next steps for both customers and internal teams.
• Communication & facilitation: Strong written and verbal communication skills, including leading customer meetings, presenting recommendations, and aligning cross-functional collaborators in a remote-first environment.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience with orchestration, automation, or adjacent domains (e.g., process improvement, workflow, integration platforms) and/or technical products.
• Hands-on familiarity with Salesforce, Gainsight, or similar CRM/CS platforms for managing accounts, activities, and health.
• Experience working closely with technical counterparts (e.g., Solution Architects, TAMs, Engineering, or Product) to drive adoption and resolve complex issues.
• A track record of mentoring peers, contributing to playbooks, or helping shape how a Customer Success team operates.
• Demonstrated ability to manage a complex book of business with a revenue-oriented mindset, driving accountability and measuring progress across multiple concurrent projects.

Account assignments within the Customer Success organization are determined and managed at the sole discretion of CS leadership. The Company reserves the right to reassign accounts at any time based on business needs, customer requirements, or organizational priorities. Account transitions are a standard and expected component of this role and are not indicative of individual performance.
