Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This Customer Success Manager role is notable in SaaS because it sits at the “high-touch” end of customer success, where retention and expansion are driven through structured engagement rather than reactive support. Working with an established SaaS platform like Intercom also signals exposure to a product-led environment where adoption, lifecycle outcomes, and executive alignment are central to how value is delivered.
From a SaaS career perspective, the work builds durable operating skills: designing success plans, running executive business reviews, and translating product capabilities—here, including AI features—into measurable customer outcomes. The remit spans adoption strategy, risk management, and cross-functional coordination with sales and solutions teams, which maps closely to how modern SaaS companies run post-sale revenue and customer lifecycle management at scale.
This position suits professionals who prefer consultative customer work, are comfortable engaging senior stakeholders, and want to develop depth in enterprise success motions. It will resonate with candidates who like combining relationship management with repeatable programs and who can operate in bilingual contexts, given the French-speaking focus and London-based setting.
