Senior Customer Success Manager
About the role
About the Role
As a Senior Customer Success Manager at Synapse Analytics, you are the primary owner of the client relationship from the moment a product goes live. You are the face of Synapse to our clients post-deployment - a trusted advisor who ensures they are continuously extracting value from our AI-powered credit and risk products, that the product is performing as expected, and that the relationship is healthy, growing, and built on confidence in Synapse as a long-term partner.
This is not a passive relationship-maintenance role. You will be deeply embedded in your clients' day-to-day realities, proactively identifying friction points, product gaps, and expansion opportunities. You will serve as the critical bridge between the client and Synapse's internal teams - translating client feedback into structured, actionable input for Product and Engineering, coordinating the rollout of updates and new features, and surfacing the right commercial opportunities at the right moments. You will carry a portfolio of post-live clients and be accountable for their retention, satisfaction, and growth.

- Navigate complex, multi-stakeholder client environments with professionalism and political awareness, managing competing priorities without losing client trust.

- Experience working with banking, financial institutions, or regulated enterprise clients is strongly preferred.

Client Management & Communication Skills

- Highly credible and confident in senior and executive client-facing settings; able to lead structured meetings, facilitate difficult conversations, and build lasting trust.

- Strong active listening and stakeholder management instincts - attuned to what clients say, what they mean, and what they need.
Critical Thinking & Problem Solving
- Strong analytical and critical thinking skills; able to assess complex client situations, identify root causes, and design structured responses that balance client expectations with Synapse's operational realities.
- Comfortable holding ambiguity - not every client issue has an immediate answer, and this role requires calm, methodical problem-solving under pressure.
- Able to distinguish client feedback that should drive product change from feedback that requires expectation management, and articulate that distinction clearly to both sides.
Organisation & Attention to Detail
- Exceptionally organised; able to manage a multi-client portfolio without letting any account fall through the cracks.
