Job Description

Senior Customer Success Manager

Vibrant Planet

• Serve as the primary post-contract relationship owner for assigned utility accounts. • Lead regular check-ins, business reviews, and executive-level touchpoints with utility customers to maintain strong relationships and track value delivery. • Proactively identify risks to renewal or expansion and develop strategies to address them. • Own the renewal process for assigned accounts in partnership with the Utilities GM and Sales team. • Own adherence to contracted scope (SOW) for assigned accounts, managing change requests and setting clear expectations on what is and isn't included. • Protect internal science and engineering capacity by identifying out-of-scope requests early and routing them to new statements of work or expansion opportunities rather than absorbing them. • Partner with project management to track delivery commitments and timelines, and proactively flag risks to on-time delivery. • Lead structured onboarding for new utility customers, ensuring smooth data integration, user training, and early platform adoption. • Develop and deliver customer-facing training materials, walkthroughs, and use-case guides tailored to utility workflows (WMP submissions, PSPS operations, asset risk prioritization). • Track customer engagement and usage metrics; proactively intervene when adoption lags. • Serve as the primary customer-facing resource for questions about Pyrologix platform outputs, fire modeling methodology, and data interpretation. • Coordinate with internal fire science and engineering teams to resolve complex technical questions and ensure customers are applying our analytics correctly. • Communicate complex, quantitative risk concepts clearly to non-technical utility audiences including regulatory, finance, and operations stakeholders. • Synthesize customer feedback and translate it into actionable input for product, science, and project management teams. • Maintain detailed account notes and health tracking in HubSpot and internal systems. • Identify expansion opportunities — new use cases, additional service lines, or additional business units — and hand off to the Sales team.

Job Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree required; engineering, environmental science, or related technical field preferred.
  • 5+ years of experience in customer success, account management, or technical program management, with at least 2–3 years supporting electric utility customers.
  • Solid understanding of utility wildfire risk management practices, including WMP requirements, PSPS protocols, and asset risk assessment frameworks. Existing utility relationships are a significant advantage.
  • Ability to engage credibly on quantitative risk analytics, fire modeling concepts, and GIS-based data products with both technical and non-technical utility stakeholders.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple complex accounts simultaneously with a high level of organization and responsiveness.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable presenting to executive and technical audiences alike.
  • Experience with CRM platforms (HubSpot preferred) and customer health tracking tools.
  • Startup experience and comfort operating in ambiguity; willingness to build process and improve tools as the team scales.
  • Willingness to travel to customer sites and industry events (~20–25% of the time).

Benefits

  • Health insurance
  • Unlimited PTO policy
  • 401k
  • Company equity (stock options)
  • Home office set-up allowance (one-time)
