Customer Success Manager

Growmodo
R 265 962 - R 336 767 a year
Cape Town, Wes-Kaap
Full time
1 week ago

At Growmodo, we help fast-growing companies by connecting them with global talent while supporting the careers of creative and tech professionals. We're driven by fostering growth, building strong relationships, taking ownership and a passion for delivering a “WOW” experience daily.


The Role

Working Hours: Mondays - Fridays, 8am-5pm Eastern Standard Time

We’re looking for a Customer Success Manager who thrives on structure, data, and making customers stay. You'll manage a portfolio of 50+ low-touch accounts, ensuring high satisfaction and long-term retention through proactive engagement, metrics-based decision-making, and automated lifecycle journeys. You’ll work across SaaS-style and creative service accounts, using your fluency in subscription health metrics to reduce churn, increase NRR, and scale what works.

About You

You're a retention-first operator, not a reactive account manager.

You

  • Know that Customer Success isn’t support—it’s lifecycle design, proactive plays, and metrics that move

  • Can juggle 50+ accounts and still give each a consistent, quality experience

  • Live inside HubSpot and know how to build automation, workflows, and reports

  • Don’t just know what NRR and TTFV stand for—you use them to drive decisions

  • Write clear, client-friendly emails and lead value calls with confidence

  • Think customer health scoring isn’t optional—it’s essential

What You’ll Own (Key Responsibilities)

  • A portfolio of 50+ B2B clients across SaaS-style and creative service subscriptions

  • Execution of playbook-driven lifecycle journeys—from onboarding to retention and expansion

  • NRR, GRR, CSAT, and TTFV as your north star metrics

  • Internal alignment with project teams to ensure clients get what they need, when they need it

  • Proactive outreach to prevent churn and identify upsell/expansion opportunities

  • Accurate CRM hygiene, client notes, and renewal tracking inside HubSpot

  • Feedback loops: capturing what clients love (or don’t) and turning it into insights

  • Monthly health reports and account escalations—before they become fires


You Must Have:

  • 3+ years in Customer Success or Account Management (SaaS or creative/tech agency)

  • Proven experience managing 50+ low-touch accounts with high CSAT or NPS

  • Working knowledge of NRR, GRR, churn, and time-to-value metrics

  • Excellent spoken and written English communication

  • Day-to-day fluency in HubSpot (or similar), Slack, Notion, and Google Workspace

  • Ownership mindset, proactive attitude, and comfort working async and independently

This Role Is NOT For You If:

  • You treat all accounts the same without considering lifecycle stages

  • You rely on reactive check-ins instead of structured playbooks

  • You’re uncomfortable using CRM dashboards and reports

  • You’ve never heard of NRR, or think CS is just “relationship management”

Bonus Points If You:

  • Have exposure to design or web-development workflows (HTML/CSS basics)

  • Have run win-back or account expansion campaigns

  • Have helped build or refine customer health scoring models

  • Come from a fast-paced agency or subscription business

Why Work With Us

We’re a fast-moving global digital design and dev studio that helps brands grow smarter.

Here, Customer Success is not just a function—it’s the engine for client loyalty, expansion, and sustainable growth.

We Offer:

  • Remote work, async flexibility, and a globally distributed team

  • High-performance culture with zero micromanagement

  • Direct impact on retention and revenue

  • Ownership and performance-based growth opportunities
