Customer Experience Manager (CXM) – AI-Forward
About the Role
HappyCo is building an AI-first customer experience organization, and the Customer Experience Manager is the role that carries it. This is a full-cycle, single-owner seat for our Mid-Market & Regional segment — operators running 1,000–5,000 multifamily units at >$1,000 MRR — where one person owns the complete customer journey from launch and implementation through adoption, retention, and expansion.
You will carry a book of up to 20 accounts. That number works because the scaled and AI-augmented motion does the monitoring, the first-draft reporting, and the early risk detection for you — it raises the floor so your time goes to judgment, relationships, and outcomes. Unlike a traditional CSM who inherits an account post-launch, or a services resource who exits at go-live, the CXM holds continuity across the entire journey: no handoffs, no gaps, no customer falling through the cracks.
This is a backfill on a team where every book is at or near capacity, so the person in this seat owns real accounts early and matters immediately.
What You'll Do
- Own launch and implementation end-to-end — scoping, configuration, training, UAT, go-live, and hypercare — holding project timelines and Gross Time to Launch.
- Develop and execute Success Plans tied to each customer's stated business goals.
- Build and maintain multi-threaded relationships across executive sponsors, champions, and day-to-day admins.
- Run the engagement cadence across the full book, including business reviews that carry a usage, ROI, and adoption-gap narrative with a recommended next step.
- Monitor customer health, adoption, and sentiment, and act on risk signals through CTA-driven risk management in Gainsight.
- Manage escalations and mitigate churn risk with data-backed, defensible risk assessments.
- Partner with Sales on expansion, whitespace, and renewal strategy, and surface CSQLs. The CXM does not own the renewal or upsell close.
- Own the launch of any new product or add-on purchased inside your accounts.
- Relay field feedback to Product as clear requirements, risks, and opportunities.
- Apply, document, and improve the AI-augmented workflows and scaled plays the Mid-Market coverage model depends on.
Required Experience
- At least 3+ years in Customer Success or Implementation in a B2B SaaS environment
- Demonstrated end-to-end ownership of customer launches or implementations — scoping through hypercare, not a handoff role.
- Demonstrated, real-world application of AI in business workflows: AI-driven health analysis, automated insight generation, predictive risk modeling, or workflow automation for account reviews and renewals. This is non-negotiable — it is the assumption the 20-account book is built on.
- Comfort working with data: dashboards, customer usage metrics, operational KPIs.
- Strong executive communication, with the ability to hold a room of senior operator stakeholders.
- Strong project management across multiple concurrent workstreams.
- Proven ability to manage client relationships with consultative authority.
- High ownership, organization, and the ability to execute independently in a fully remote, US time zone role.
Preferred
- PropTech, multifamily, or property operations experience is strongly preferred.
- Gainsight or a comparable customer success platform, specifically CTA-driven risk workflows.
- Product telemetry, usage data, and BI tooling.
- Hands-on with LLMs integrated into live workflows, no-code automation, or data enrichment pipelines.
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience.
