Senior Manager - Customer Success Operations

From Fivetran’s founding until now, our mission has remained the same: to make access to data as simple and reliable as electricity. With Fivetran, customer data arrives in their warehouses, canonical and ready to query, with no engineering or maintenance required. We’re proud that more organizations continue to leverage our technology every day to become truly data-driven.

About the Role

We are seeking a Manager, Customer Success Operations to join our Revenue Insights team. This role is pivotal in driving our post-sales strategy and operations, with a direct impact on maximizing Expansion ARR from Fivetran’s existing customer base.

You will combine data-driven insights with business process design to empower our Customer teams, ensuring our customers achieve optimal value, renew successfully, and expand their partnership with us. This role will partner with our Customer Success and Revenue Operations leadership to design and optimize scalable processes for the entire existing customer lifecycle, from onboarding through retention and expansion.

Over time, this role will build out a team of customer success operations professionals to support Fivetran’s growing customer base.

This is a full-time, hybrid position based out of our Oakland, CA or Denver, CO offices. Our hybrid work model offers a blend of remote flexibility and in-person collaboration, including two days in the office each week to connect and build as a team.

Strategic Post-Sales Program Design & Optimization

• Working with our analytics and data science teams, identify key indicators for customer churn and expansion opportunities, translating insights into proactive operational strategies.
• Develop and refine customer segmentation models to tailor Customer Success efforts for maximum impact on retention and expansion.
• Collaborate closely with post-sales leadership to define and track KPIs and OKRs for the post-sales motion, including expansion rate, retention, time-to-value, and product adoption.
• Design, implement, and optimize scalable operational programs that drive customer health, product engagement, and ultimately, Expansion ARR.

Revenue Insights

• Conduct analyses of customer data (usage, health scores, support tickets, survey feedback, product engagement, etc.) to identify trends, opportunities, and risks related to retention and expansion ARR.
• Design robust dashboards and reports that provide actionable insights to Customer Success Managers, Expansion AEs, leadership, and other stakeholders regarding customer health and expansion potential.
• Forecast Expansion ARR based on operational data and strategic initiatives, identifying potential gaps and opportunities.
• Partner with the Analytics team to ensure data integrity and accessibility for post-sales analysis.

Operational Excellence & System Enablement

• Partner with RevOps and IT teams to ensure processes are fully supported by system automation where possible.
• Identify opportunities for automation to streamline post-sales workflows, improve data accuracy, and enhance customer experience.
