As we continue to broaden our customer base, we are seeking a Customer Success Manager to be a part of our remote North American team. In this pivotal role, you will support engagement with our MK Data product, a solution that adds value for leading global corporations while ensuring compliance with local and international regulations and sanctions. You will serve as a strategic advisor to our clients, sharing your expertise, insights, best practices, and recommendations. Your responsibilities will include understanding clients' business objectives and maximizing the value derived from our solutions. Ultimately, you will manage a portfolio of clients to enhance retention, drive expansion, and foster advocacy.

Benefits of Joining Us

Professional Development Opportunities – If you have experience in Account Management, B2B Consulting, or Customer Success, this role allows you to leverage your relationship-building and problem-solving skills to assist clients with dedication, integrity, and high ethical standards. At Descartes, we appreciate the contributions of every employee towards achieving our corporate objectives and ensure that each team member has the necessary tools and support to make impactful contributions.

This role provides the chance to work with top-tier global clients, create engagement through tailored solutions, and collaborate with internal sales and product teams. You will gain exposure to our diverse range of products and solutions, nurturing ongoing trust with your clients rather than engaging in project-based work.

Continuous Learning – In this position, you will work with international clients, assisting them in overcoming critical compliance and logistics challenges.

Collaborate Across Teams: Work with Sales, Marketing, Product, and Implementation teams on webinar development and improvement suggestions based on client feedback. Expand Your Knowledge: Stay informed about technical changes, market conditions, government regulations, emerging trends, and competitive activities to reinforce our solutions as the preferred choice for clients addressing significant business challenges.

A consultative approach to engaging clients and optimizing their software usage. Strategic Planning Skills: Ability to understand both the overarching goals of clients and the root causes of business challenges, aligning solutions to address complex issues. Metrics-driven and insightful, with the ability to communicate progress and overcome obstacles.
