ROLE OVERVIEW

Benchling believes in putting our customers at the center of everything we do. We strive to provide an outstanding experience for our customers and our users from the first touchpoint, through our implementations, and once they are live. We take pride in our world-class renewal rates, and Customer Success is a crucial part of this equation. To keep up with our rapidly expanding growth, we are building a team of top-tier Customer Success Managers with experience in Life Sciences, who can help grow the organization, develop our processes, and drive execution across our entire customer base.

Our Customer Success Management (CSM) team works alongside our Professional Services, Product, and Sales teams to help customers improve the value of their Benchling investments. CSMs will work directly with our customers, and develop strategies and tactics to drive adoption, promote usage of new features, drive product strategy, recommend best practices, and ensure there is ongoing expansion of the Benchling platform.

The Digital CSM team at Benchling specifically focuses on driving product adoption, retaining customers, and highlighting customer advocates by creating self-serve digital resources and programs in a 1:Many fashion. The Digital CSM team creates these resources and programs to drive CSM effectiveness, reduce administrative burden, and standardize best practices across all customers (with and without a dedicated CSM). Additionally, a Digital CSM will frequently engage with smaller customers who have a need (at risk/expansion signals, services scoping, best practice guidance, etc).
