Your mission

Help our largest customers turn business outcomes into lasting growth.

Matrix42 is the European choice in Intelligent Service Management (ISM). We help organizations realize the full potential of their technology and service management investments.
We are establishing a commercially driven, customer-facing Customer Success organization that adds measurable business value and takes clear ownership of customer relationships and outcomes. Our three main objectives are:

• Proactive renewal management: Anticipate renewals and secure customer retention.
• Growth creation: Turn customer value into expansion through close collaboration with Sales and partners.

 
YOUR MISSION      
 
 You will be the accountable Customer Success owner for a portfolio of large customers, leading customer engagement, value realisation, renewal management and growth creation. You will own gross revenue retention (GRR) for your portfolio and be accountable for a measurable contribution to net revenue retention (NRR) through contract value growth at renewal and the expansion opportunities you identify for Sales.

• Lead business and executive reviews that demonstrate progress, validate value, and agree the next stage of the customer roadmap. Tailor engagement to each account’s complexity and potential.
• Own customer follow-through while coordinating partners, Professional Services, Support, and Product to remove barriers to adoption and deliver agreed milestones
• Work with partners, Support, and Professional Services to address barriers to value and ensure clear ownership of follow-up actions.
