As a key member of our U.S. team, you’ll wear multiple hats, collaborate across functions, and play a central role in building a world-class customer success organization from the ground up.

• Build strong, trust-based relationships with key stakeholders — from operators to executive sponsors.
• Conduct regular meetings, visits, and business reviews to align on goals and uncover new opportunities for value creation.

📈 Retention & Growth

• Track adoption, satisfaction, and engagement metrics to proactively prevent churn.
• Identify upsell and expansion opportunities that maximize the customer’s return on investment.

🌍 Customer Advocacy & Success Storytelling

• Develop success stories and case studies showcasing measurable impact.
• Organize customer events and webinars to build a thriving, engaged user community.

🤜🤛 Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Act as the voice of the customer internally — sharing insights, feedback, and best practices to influence product and sales strategy.
• Partner with internal teams to continuously enhance the customer experience.

🔍 What You Bring

• Proven experience managing enterprise-level B2B customer relationships, including adoption, renewals, and expansion.
• Strong understanding of customer success best practices in SaaS environments.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills.
• Data-driven mindset with strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Proficiency in CRM tools and digital collaboration platforms.
• Fluency in Japanese highly preferred — bilingual ability is a strong advantage.
• Experience in manufacturing tech or industrial SaaS is a plus.
• Willingness to work onsite in Chicago and travel up to 50%.

🎯 Why You’ll Love This Role

• Play a foundational role in building and scaling a customer success organization in a high-growth SaaS company.
