Customer Success Manager

About the Role

CADDi is transforming how manufacturers work. As a Customer Success Manager, you will own the end-to-end journey for our customers, from onboarding to value realization to expansion.

This is not a typical CS role. CADDi’s CSMs act as strategists, operators, project managers, and change leaders. You will work alongside Sales, Solutions, Product, Engineering, and our Japan HQ to drive measurable customer impact and business growth.

If you’re someone who thrives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and loves solving real operational problems with customers, this is the place to build your career.

Real Indicators You Might Be a Fit
