Customer Success Manager, Scale

Location: Remote

Department: Customer Success

Youve helped run a scale or pooled CS model before, or youve been inside one long enough to know what works and what doesnt. You know that scale CS done badly is just support with a fancier title, and done well its a system that delivers consistent value to hundreds of customers. You want to join and help build the good version.

Expel is an MDR company. Our customers are security teams who depend on us to find and stop threats. Were launching a scale model for a segment of our customer base, and were building it from scratch: the playbooks, the automation, the operating model, the measurement framework. You wont inherit a finished system. Youll be a primary contributor to designing it.

That means youre not just executing motions. You own specific programs within the model (new customer/onboarding cohorts, renewal campaigns, segment outreach), you exercise judgment on the edge cases the playbook doesnt cover, and you identify patterns across hundreds of customer interactions that tell you where the model needs to improve. When something breaks, you fix the process, not just the situation.

Your success is measured by the teams retention outcomes across the scale segment, the quality of your execution, and the motions you build and improve.
