Senior Lead Customer Success Manager

• Build and maintain a clear picture of each account's organization, goals, and strategic priorities, and develop multi-year account plans that connect those priorities to Workiva capabilities
• Cultivate C-suite and VP relationships as an ongoing partnership, not just at renewal time, and run Business Reviews that tell a story about impact rather than a recap of features
• Map our full portfolio against each customer's agenda to identify where Workiva can do more, and keep account plans current with whitespace opportunities and clear next steps

• Use adoption data and health signals to diagnose what's working and what isn't, then design targeted interventions that address root causes
• Ask consultative questions to uncover workflow gaps and build enablement that drives lasting behavior change, not just short-term usage

• Identify expansion opportunities through structured whitespace analysis and bring them to your AE with a clear business case, not just a product suggestion
• Maintain a reliable renewal forecast well ahead of deadlines, flag risk early with a mitigation plan attached, and navigate commercial conversations with confidence

• Stay consistently engaged with VP- and C-level stakeholders and communicate in terms of business risk, efficiency, and strategic impact
• Prepare internal executive sponsors with the context they need before every high-stakes customer conversation

Risk & Issue Resolution

• Catch problems before your customers do by reading health trends, engagement signals, and relationship dynamics proactively
• Own escalations from identification through resolution: document the root cause, coordinate across functions, and keep the customer informed throughout

• Mentor fellow CSMs on territory management, stakeholder strategy, and commercial thinking, and share your approaches so others can learn from your experience
• Contribute to team-wide playbooks and tools that make strong execution repeatable across the organization
• Synthesize patterns across your accounts into specific, evidence-backed input that helps Product and GTM teams make better decisions

• 8+ years in B2B SaaS Customer Success, Strategic Account Management, or Consulting

• A track record of retaining and growing complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise accounts across multiple renewal cycles
• Sharp commercial instincts and experience identifying and qualifying expansion opportunities alongside a sales partner
• Executive presence that earns trust at the C-suite level and holds up in high-stakes conversations
• The ability to read data, find the signal, and turn it into a clear story that drives action
• CRM discipline that makes your forecasts reliable, your work visible, and your accounts transferable
• Experience leading or coordinating cross-functional work without direct authority, bringing together the right people across Sales, Support, Product, and other teams to drive outcomes for your accounts

• Willingness to travel up to 20% for team and corporate meetings, fostering relationships and representing company interests.
