Core Customer Success Manager

About Kojo

It's time to build. Whether it's creating more housing, upgrading our infrastructure, or adapting to climate change, one thing is clear: the construction industry is at the center of solving our biggest problems. We’re making buildings cheaper and easier to build by transforming the way commercial construction companies buy their materials. Join us.

Founded in 2018, Kojo is now one of the fastest-growing construction technology companies in the world. Construction accounts for $10 trillion in global spend annually and we can’t live without its output - our roads, schools, hospitals, and offices. Despite this, there’s been very little innovation over the past 70 years in how materials - which constitute up to 40% of project costs - are bought and sold. This is our opportunity.

We’re looking for a driven, strategic Core Customer Success Manager (CSM) to join Kojo and own a critical segment of our customer base. This is a high impact, high autonomy role for a strategic relationship builder owning the full lifecycle of your accounts post-onboarding. This person will drive adoption, deliver customer outcomes, and lead all renewal and expansion efforts. As a Core CSM, you’ll manage a portfolio of ~70 accounts, representing $1.5M–$2M in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR). You won’t be responsible for onboarding (we have a dedicated team for that), but once a customer is live, you’ll be their trusted partner and go-to advisor throughout their journey with Kojo.

This is a high-impact role for someone excited to blend product knowledge, relationship management, and commercial ownership to help our customers thrive.

What You’ll Do

• Own the customer relationship post-onboarding for a portfolio of ~70 accounts, delivering consistent customer value while protecting/growing ARR

• Own a quarterly renewal and expansion target, expertly navigating pricing conversations, scope changes, upsell opportunities, and contract execution

• Act as the trusted advisor for your customers, aligning Kojo’s value to each customer’s evolving business goals

• Lead regular business reviews and strategic touchpoints, including executive check-ins and Annual Business Reviews

• Monitor product adoption and usage signals, proactively spotting risks and acting decisively to retain/expand your accounts.

• Guide customers through change management, onboarding new teams or locations, and rolling out new modules or workflows

• Champion customer feedback and partner cross-functionally with Product, Support, Marketing and Engineering to improve the customer experience and execute on feedback loops

• Maintain clean, accurate forecasts and data using Salesforce and other internal Kojo tools, leading to scalable, repeatable success and an interdepartmental single source of truth

• Contribute to internal process improvements and scaling initiatives for the Core CSM motion

• High EQ and a relationship-first mindset — you build trust fast and advocate for both customer and company outcomes
