Customer Success Manager

Job Description Job Title: Senior Customer Success Manager, Strategic Accounts , Full-Time Role Reports to: Senior Director of Customer Experience Preferred Location: Remote position open to candidates throughout the U.S About EnGen EnGen was founded in 2020, inspired by a moonshot mission to close a critical access gap: English proficiency is a foundational workforce skill for the 1 in 10 working-age adults in the U.S. who is an English learner. Yet the U.S. currently serves the needs of just 2% of this talent pool. The result is an access gap that limits economic mobility for individual workers, exacerbates staffing shortages for local employers, and stymies productivity and innovation for our economy. EnGen's mission is to connect workers, including English learners, with pathways to skills, credentials, and employment in high-demand industries. EnGen’s patented, award-winning English upskilling platform built based on decades of data and best practices from technology-mediated language instruction, adult education, and second language acquisition—and is optimized to serve the needs of working adults, including the estimated 13 million adult English learners currently in the U.S. workforce. Since launch, EnGen has rapidly scaled to enroll nearly 130,000 learners via partnerships with local government agencies in states like Colorado, Maine, and Michigan; forward-looking employers like Amazon, Chobani, Whole Foods Market, and Walmart; and community colleges and adult education programs in states across the country. Our results speak to the power of English upskilling to build future-ready workforces that drive business outcomes for employers: 94% of EnGen learners have improved their confidence in using English; 93% saved time at work; 92% improved their job skills; 90% have said their digital skills have improved; and 79% have achieved a real-world career goal like a pay raise or promotion as a result of EnGen. EnGen earned status as a Certified Public Benefit Corporation in 2021; we are committed to continuing to grow our results-driven platform to reach the 96% of adult English learners who are currently unable to access English instruction in the U.S. Role Summary EnGen is seeking an experienced and motivated Senior Customer Success Manager, Strategic Accounts to lead the success and satisfaction of a portfolio of EnGen’s largest and most strategic customers across the U.S. and Canada.
