Role Description CWILL is hiring a Customer Success Manager to support and grow relationships with eCommerce merchants using our post-purchase and retention products. You will work closely with merchants to help them get the most out of CWILL — from onboarding through ongoing adoption. You'll resolve issues, monitor account health, surface customer feedback, and collaborate with internal teams to make sure merchants are successful.

Qualifications - Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience. - 2+ years of experience in Customer Success, Account Management, Support, or a related customer-facing SaaS role. - Experience working with B2B SaaS customers; eCommerce, Shopify ecosystem, DTC, or retention software experience is a plus. - Strong written and verbal communication skills — you can explain product value clearly, resolve conflict calmly, and build trust with customers. - Organized and reliable, with the ability to juggle multiple accounts and priorities without dropping the ball. - Comfortable using CRM and support tools such as HubSpot, Intercom, Zendesk, Gorgias, or similar platforms. - Self-starter who can operate independently in a startup environment where not everything is documented yet. Nice to Haves - Direct experience with Shopify merchants or Shopify apps. - Familiarity with post-purchase, returns, order tracking, loyalty, reviews, or retention products. - Experience supporting SMB or founder-led eCommerce brands. - Basic data skills in Excel, Google Sheets, or HubSpot reporting. - Bilingual in English and Mandarin Chinese — helpful for collaborating with our global teams.
