Customer Success Manager
Mediafly is a fast-growing technology company located in the heart of Chicago. We provide a SaaS solution that enables complex and dynamic organizations to elegantly deliver their business or entertainment media from the content creators to the end user on any device, no matter the format.
We are looking for a tech-savvy, customer-focused rockstar to join our small and nimble Customer Success team! As a Customer Success Manager, you will ensure our customers’ success by understanding their business objectives, delivering day-to-day guidance on our products, and providing solutions to their biggest challenges. Our Customer Success team recognizes that the ability to create an amazing customer experience is to not only flawlessly react to customer requests, but to also be proactive in developing best practices and processes for the customer.
To provide the best to our customers, we need someone who has strong business acumen, tactical skills, empathy, and authenticity. This person should articulate technical processes in a clear, direct manner to diverse audiences. Most of all, this person should be passionate - passionate about our customers, passionate about solving problems, passionate about the perfect way to brew a cup of coffee.
What Does a Typical Day Look Like?
Every day at Mediafly is filled with exciting challenges, opportunities to learn, and a lot of GIFs.
You’ll start your morning with a visit to our stocked kitchen. As you sip on a mug of Metropolis coffee, you’ll be checking in with your customers and catching up on emails. You may gear up for an on-line training session with an enterprise company’s 200-person sales team. After leading a well-attended webinar, you’ll grab some snacks from the kitchen to refuel as you casually brainstorm half-brewed concepts with the product team.
Inevitably, an urgent customer request comes in, requiring you to switch gears, jump on the phone, and save the day. After a successful remedy, you’ll reward yourself with a fierce table tennis battle and perhaps some leftover birthday cake. You’ll end your day by thinking about the challenges our customers face and how we can make their lives easier.
