Client Success Manager (us)

Cirtuo is a pioneer in the procurement technology landscape with the first, highly specialized category management software that automates category strategy creation leading to faster decision-making and higher business impact. As a digital transformation and risk management has become a key strategic priority of CPOs and procurement leaders, Cirtuo is disrupting what is typically a very manual, time-consuming, and expensive consulting-driven approach to category management and strategy creation. With our AI-powered, Guided Strategy Creation™ solution, Cirtuo empowers procurement and its stakeholders to collectively drive savings and value well beyond sourcing. Our client base consists of the largest multinational corporations as well as midsize companies mainly in the US and Europe leveraging Cirtuo to gain insights into the right strategic levers to pull.

In recent years, we have experienced impressive growth and we are determined to sustain our momentum without any intention of slowing down. For that reason, we are in search of new, ambitious members to join our Client Success team: 

Client Success Manager (US)

The role of the Client Success Manager is focused on interacting with clients, with the primary objective being to ensure their success and maintain their active involvement in the platform beyond the sales process. You will become an expert in the Cirtuo solution to deliver ongoing guidance and support, showcase new product features and functions, and establish success plans for the client. You will know you have been successful with proven client satisfaction, product adoption, and ultimately license renewals.

You will report directly to the Vice President of North America and can have a great influence on the future development and growth of the company.

Responsibilities:

• Manage a portfolio of clients, developing a deep understanding of their needs and objectives and help them drive significant value leveraging the Cirtuo technology

• Onboarding new clients and providing client support through the implementation process, ensuring the continuation of the contractual agreements with Cirtuo

• Driving user adoption and help lead change management within the client organization
