Role Overview

As a forward‑deployed Customer Success Manager (CSM) at brighthush, you will be the trusted advisor for our most strategic manufacturing and supply‑chain clients. Your deep domain expertise will allow you to understand the intricacies of each customer’s operations, identify pain points, and design solutions that deliver measurable ROI. You will own the entire customer lifecycle—from kickoff and deployment through health monitoring, renewal, and expansion—without any handoff. Your work will directly influence product roadmap decisions and drive the next wave of innovation.

Key Responsibilities

Deployment & Project Management

• Lead end‑to‑end onboarding, coordinating ERP integrations, buyer training, and supplier onboarding waves.

• Collaborate with Support, Product, and Engineering to proactively unblock issues and accelerate resolution.

Domain Expertise & Change Management

• Conduct in‑depth analysis of each customer’s procurement workflow, team dynamics, and friction points.
• Redesign workflows to achieve operational change, not just software adoption, ensuring lasting impact.
• Align stakeholders across operational users, procurement managers, and executives to secure buy‑in.
• Perform on‑site visits to build trust, observe real‑world processes, and accelerate adoption.

Strategic Health & Trusted Advisor

• Run data‑driven Business Reviews that quantify ROI—procurement savings, cycle‑time reductions, and sourcing performance.
• Generate custom reports, run diagnostic workflows, and troubleshoot operational issues to root cause.
• Monitor health signals and intervene before risk escalates, ensuring high customer satisfaction and retention.

Renewals & Expansion

• Own renewals with structured interventions, ensuring a smooth and predictable renewal process.
• Identify expansion signals, build compelling business cases, and collaborate with Sales to secure upsell opportunities.

Essential Qualifications

• 3–5+ years of experience in B2B SaaS Customer Success, Account Management, Implementation, or Project Management within a complex vertical.
• Deep, functional knowledge of manufacturing, supply chain, or procurement—fluent in industry terminology and processes.
• Strong project management skills: structured deployments, timeline ownership, and loop closure.
• Technical fluency: ability to generate reports, navigate data, understand integration concepts, and troubleshoot without always relying on engineering.
• Change management instincts: identify friction, align stakeholders, and drive adoption beyond surface usage.
• Commercial acumen: craft ROI narratives, negotiate renewals, and spot expansion opportunities.
• Willingness to travel for on‑site customer visits across Canada and/or the USA.
• Excellent English; French is a strong plus.
