Role description

As an Enterprise Customer Success Manager at Fonoa, your primary responsibility will be to ensure that customers fully leverage Fonoa’s solutions to enhance their indirect tax strategies. This involves managing a diverse portfolio of accounts and collaborating closely with both customers and internal stakeholders to secure successful renewals and drive expansion. Additionally, you'll play a crucial role in supporting joint sales initiatives with Fonoa and our partners, focusing on service scope validation, program design, and the delivery of scalable, high-quality solutions. An essential aspect of your role will be to offer expert advice on Fonoa’s platform capabilities, influencing its design and implementation to meet and exceed customer expectations.

This is a newly established function within Fonoa. As the inaugural Customer Success Manager, you will have the unique opportunity to shape and build the customer success strategy from the ground up.

  • Value-Driven Advocacy: Generate case studies and cultivate referenceable customers to foster Fonoa advocates, thereby expediting sales processes.
  • Account Growth Enhancement: Identify opportunities for upselling and cross-selling to foster account growth.
  • Escalation Management: Manage customer escalations and coordinate cross-team efforts to resolve issues efficiently.
  • Customer Portfolio Management: Proactively oversee the customer portfolio from onboarding to renewal, aiming for high NPS and customer satisfaction.
  • Account Health Monitoring: Ensure the success and achievement of desired outcomes at every stage by monitoring account health.
  • Relationship Building: Establish strong connections with key customer stakeholders and executive sponsors to encourage program advocacy and adoption.
  • Successful Implementation Facilitation: Align with customer needs and priorities to ensure the successful deployment of Fonoa’s tax solutions.
  • Thematic Gap Analysis: Identify and address gaps at both the account and portfolio levels to streamline processes and enhance customer experience.
  • Pre-Sales Collaboration: Work alongside Account Executives in pre-sales activities to ensure the scope of sales, renewals, or expansions is accurately defined.
  • Sales Team Feedback: Provide Fonoa’s sales teams with insights and feedback gleaned from sales engagements to refine sales strategies.
  • Product Team Liaison: Serve as a bridge for customer product and development requests, delivering valuable insights to the Fonoa Product Team for ongoing product enhancement.

You will be a great fit if you have:

  • 6+ years in customer success, project management, account management, or similar roles.
  • 3+ years of experience in B2B SaaS environments.
  • A proven ability to build strong, collaborative relationships across various organisational levels, including with customer champions and C-suite executives.
  • Clear communication skills, capable of engaging both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Proficiency in developing Professional Services solutions that deliver tangible value, with a solid grasp of the commercial aspects of proposals and delivery.
  • A creative and entrepreneurial mindset, with the ability to think innovatively.
  • A keen interest in a fast-paced, scale-up environment and are motivated by the opportunity to contribute to growth.
  • An adaptable and poised mindset when facing new situations or ambiguity, viewing challenges as opportunities.
  • Exceptional problem-solving skills, with the ability to distill complex issues into simple, understandable solutions.

For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in Fonoa’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
