German Speaking Customer Success Manager - Germany (Remote) or London (Hybrid)

This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK's leading over-50s age inclusive jobs board.

SoPost is one of the UK's fastest growing technology companies and we are thoroughly disrupting the product sampling space. Our technology is used by many of the world's leading brands to run the most powerful sampling campaigns online, with a focus on relevance, data and analytics. We work with more than 200 different brands, including the largest beauty and FMCG groups.

In 2020 we ranked in the top 50 of the Sunday Times Tech Track 100, and since then our growth trajectory has been significant.

2022 brought great pride when we were awarded the 'Advanced Good Work Pledge' and now in 2024 we are thrilled to have been named in the Sunday Times Top 100 Places to Work. We really are going from strength to strength and continue to look for talented individuals who can help us grow, and who can grow with us.

We believe that it is not just our technology which sets us apart but also our people and we have an ambition to build a team of the most talented individuals in our industry.

What we're looking for...

We are looking to hire a German speaking Customer Success Manager who can work closely with our brand partners in the DACH region, as well as supporting our internal teams to help them execute campaigns seamlessly. You will join our friendly, supportive and well established London Customer Success team. Candidates will require excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to quickly build and maintain relationships with brand partners that ensure the smooth running of campaigns, exceptional service, and powerful insights that drive customer retention.

Reporting to our EMEA Customer Success Team Lead, the successful candidate will need to be organised, methodical in approach, efficient and a team player. Supporting the other team members with product development, account expansion, creation of collateral, and post campaign analysis will also play key parts in this role. With a focus on building and monitoring live campaigns, you will liaise with brand partners to collate relevant campaign collateral, build out post campaign reports, and work with our warehouse operations team to coordinate stock management.

Whilst there are elements of brand collaboration and relationship building and nurturing, the role is predominantly operational, therefore candidates who are methodical in approach, with superb attention to detail and deadline driven will excel!

• Mentor and support junior team members
• Support the Customer Success Team Lead by proactively identifying opportunities to improve our project management services for brand partners
