Department: Strategic Customer Success

The Strategic Customer Success team is responsible for driving success, net revenue retention, and expansion within our largest customer portfolio. This involves proactively engaging existing merchants, mitigating churn risks, and onboarding new clients. Our team members are experts in the fraud, e-commerce, and payments landscape, collaborating closely with Sales, Product, Implementation, and Risk teams to ensure an exceptional customer experience. We are a results-oriented group focused on delivering significant value and achieving our collective and individual targets.

The Role:

As a Strategic Customer Success Manager , you will own the success of Signifyd’s most complex and strategic accounts in the EMEAregion. You are not a passive relationship manager; you are a proactive, revenue-owning partner and a “trusted advisor”.

• Technical Translation: Act as a critical intermediary between the merchant’s business needs and Signifyd’s technical teams , ensuring what we deliver aligns with the client’s actual business requirements.
• Consultative Challenge: Proactively keep client teams aligned and provide rigorous, data-backed challenges to their internal assumptions to drive better outcomes.
• Face-to-Face Engagement :
• Europe : Conduct frequent onsite visits to maintain deep, local alignment with key stakeholders
• Signifyd London HQ : available to attend team or All Hands meetings as required 
• Product Influence: Leverage a deep understanding of fraud detection technologies (Machine Learning, device fingerprinting) to translate complex data into actionable insights and influence Signifyd’s product roadmap.
• Outcome Realization: Focus on reducing “time-to-value” for new initiatives and exceeding mutually agreed-upon success criteria

Requirements: 

• Experience: 5+ years of success in senior enterprise SaaS roles, or account management managing strategic accounts.
• Technical Background: Previous professional experience in Data Science, BI, Analytics, or Product Management is highly preferred.
