Enterprise Customer Success Manager
Why We Need You – The Mission
Veryon is a leading provider of aviation software and information services, supporting a global network of more than 75,000 aircraft maintenance professionals and over 7,600 customers in nearly 175 countries worldwide. We help everyone from business aviation teams and MROs to airlines and OEMs get their aircraft more uptime.
Veryon’s Guided Troubleshooting, a cloud-based interactive aircraft troubleshooting tool, captures field experience and provides just-in-time training to Aircraft Maintenance Technicians and Engineers to Accelerate meantime to repair, increase equipment availability, and save costs on maintenance. Guided troubleshooting is powered by Veryon, and provided to aircraft operators and maintenance facilities by our OEM customers.
We are looking for a dedicated, passionate Customer Success Manager (CSM) to manage a portfolio of Aviation Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) customers. We view Customer Success as a cornerstone of our business, going beyond metrics and process to focus on doing the right thing for our customers — a crucial position tasked with the execution toward a best-in-class customer experience.
About You - The Personal Competencies That Matter
Strong Relationship Builder: You can develop rapport with confidence and speed. At Veryon, we don’t want to be another vendor or service call, we want to be the best meeting/call/experience our clients have all week – every week! Demonstrate a high degree of EQ.
Desire to become a true product expert: This person will be the “go-to” for our customers and should be able to handle a majority of non-support issues related to our products. You will need to be deeply conversant with our product(s) and also have a solid working knowledge of both our domain and the best practices associated with it.
Comfort with commercial discussions : Our CSM team is responsible for not only ensuring our customers quickly ramp-up and can easily use our products, but also for discovering where additional commercial opportunities may exist. This requires an ability to connect with the customer, build a relationship based on credibility and trust, and quickly identify the implicit requests and opportunities to better serve our customers in your everyday interactions with them. Business Development experience will go a long way. Our OEM customers are B2B2B. You must be comfortable with channel partnerships and/or strategies.
Personality & Interpersonal Skills : Success in this role requires emotional agility. The CSM must be able to work well with a wide variety of personalities, and roles. The successful candidate will need to demonstrate that they can make a positive impact, while embracing Veryon’s performance-driven culture. They will also need to establish credibility with managers at Veryon (as well as with our clients!) by demonstrating technical expertise and a willingness to work with others to achieve goals. They should take their work seriously, but not themselves. They should be ambitious but grounded.
Accountable: The successful candidate has no problem planning the work, working the plan, and proactively communicating progress along the way. They can tell us about the times when they have rolled up their sleeves, taken ownership of a body of work, and delivered the results with minimal support – a strong self-starter/self-managed individual with a knack for improving on everything we touch.
