Companies trust SambaSafety to keep their employees safe on the roads, price and reduce risk, help protect their brand, their bottom line, and our global community.

And our employees rate SambaSafety as top-notch, with a rock solid Top Rating on Glassdoor.
SambaSafety’s Customer Success organization oversees retention, growth, and service for our largest, most strategic customers. We are seeking a Customer Success Manager to own and grow one of our most complex, strategic enterprise customers. This role requires a unique blend of executive presence, relationship-building, curiosity, patience, and operational rigor to navigate a large, guarded organization and elevate the partnership beyond transactional support.
This is not a high-volume CSM role. It is a deep, strategic, long-horizon engagement that rewards persistence, critical thinking, and credibility.
What You'll Do:
- Serve as the primary strategic partner for our largest customers, operating at executive levels across multiple functions, in addition to another small set of customers
- Build and expand stakeholder relationships beyond procurement into product, engineering, compliance, legal, and risk teams
- Navigate guarded, slow-moving stakeholders with curiosity and patience — without becoming aggressive or disengaged
- Reframe transactional requests into outcome-oriented conversations tied to risk, compliance, and business impact
- Lead a pod model alongside a technical account lead and CSR, delegating tactical work while maintaining strategic ownership
- Understand and articulate data flows and workflows across integrated systems without requiring deep coding skills
- Proactively track open questions, dependencies, and follow-ups to maintain momentum
- Act as an internal advisor to other CSMs on enterprise navigation, procurement strategy, and exec engagement
What We're Looking For
Required:
- Proven experience managing large, complex enterprise accounts at senior levels
- Strong stakeholder navigation in matrixed, politically complex organizations
- Demonstrated ability to rebuild or re-establish relationships with guarded, slow-moving customers
- Excellent discovery and reframing skills — understands the real question behind the question
- Ability to discuss data workflows and systems thinking credibly (no coding required)
- Exceptionally strong follow-up, organization, and ownership discipline
- Communication style that is tactfully direct — can push without burning trust
Nice to Have:
- Experience in gig economy, risk, compliance, insurance, or transportation domains
- Prior exposure to highly matrixed or regulated environments
- Experience partnering with TAMs or engineering teams on complex integrations
- Background coaching or mentoring other CSMs on enterprise strategy
Benefits and Perks:
- Flexible and generous Paid Time Off and Paid Volunteer Days
- 401k Employer Match
- Generous Healthcare Benefits
- Up to 12 weeks paid time off for maternity leave based on tenure
- Wellness &Tuition Reimbursement
- Flexible Work Arrangements
- Lots of SambaSafety swag & SambaSafety Events
