Customer Success Manager

Job overview

As a member of our Customer Success team, you'll onboard, guide, and support customers as they adopt Swarmia into their daily work. You'll work closely with a small group of experienced Customer Success Managers and partner with Sales and Product to shape how we support fast growing startups and mid market companies in the region.

Swarmia is designed to be flexible and opinionated, while still adapting to how different engineering teams work. You'll become a product and domain expert in engineering analytics and developer productivity, helping customers make better decisions about how they build software and run engineering teams.

This is a hybrid role based at our Helsinki HQ or remote role in Dublin. Because part of your portfolio sits in the US, some flexibility in your working hours helps. You'll report to the Head of Customer Success, based out of Dublin.

About us

Swarmia is a fast-growing B2B SaaS company that helps some of the best software companies in the world, including Miro, Lovable, and Bolt, measure and systematically improve developer productivity and experience. We’ve built an international team of talented people who work from our HQ in Helsinki as well as remotely from the US.

In this role you will:

• Own and manage a portfolio of startup and mid market customers

• Lead onboarding and adoption to ensure customers reach value quickly

• Build strong relationships with engineering leaders and product teams

• Proactively monitor customer health and address risks before they escalate

• Run regular check ins focused on outcomes, not just product usage

• Identify expansion opportunities and partner with Sales when accounts grow

• Manage renewals for your book of business

• Collect and synthesize customer feedback to influence product decisions

• Help define scalable customer success processes as the company grows

You should apply if:

• You have at least two years of experience in customer success or a similar customer-facing role in B2B SaaS, supporting the onboarding and adoption of technically complex products.

• You're comfortable owning end to end onboarding that typically runs four to eight weeks, and continuing to drive value throughout the customer lifecycle.

• You are comfortable managing a book of dozens mid-market customers, exceeding $1.5MM in total ARR while keeping retention and adoption high.

• You enjoy building relationships with multiple stakeholders, especially engineering and product leadership.

• You have experience working closely with Sales, Product, and Engineering to support customer outcomes.

• You like going deep on the product and domain, and have done so in a previous role.

• You're comfortable working with technically complex products and are naturally curious about how things work under the hood.

You should not apply if

• You tend to thrive with a more focused book of larger customers. In this role, you'll manage a book of both mid-market and enterprise customers, balancing personalized relationships with efficient, scalable support.

• You're looking for a role with infrequent and highly structured customer touch points.

• You expect renewals and upsells to be the main focus of the role, while not focusing on adoption, engagement, and helping the customer achieve their business goals.

• You're uncomfortable getting into the details with customers, including data nuances, metrics definitions, or workflow changes.

Interview process

Our interview process is thoughtful and thorough. We want to make sure that every person who joins Swarmia is set up for success, and that you have enough information to decide whether Swarmia is the right place for you. The process for this role is as follows:

• Intro call with recruiting - 45 minutes

• Hiring manager interview - 45 minutes

• Role play customer demo interview - 45 minutes

• Final panel interview with CEO and Head of Customer Success - 45 minutes

Why you should join

The product: You’ll get to work on a domain that’s relevant and interesting to software engineers. Unlike many other tools in this space, Swarmia is not a tool for stack ranking individual engineers or just a dashboard for the leadership — instead, we serve useful insights and tools for the whole engineering organization. As an engineer, this means you deeply understand the problem space.

The developer experience: Since our product is about sensible software development, we take our own practices seriously. We’re deliberate about how we work, but processes aren’t heavier than they need to be. As one of our engineers described it after his first few weeks at Swarmia: “It feels like a bunch of adults came together and spent some serious time to figure out how to do this software thing well.”

The people: You’ll get very experienced colleagues with wide skillsets and different backgrounds. We pride ourselves in hiring and retaining smart, kind, and helpful people who are guaranteed to both teach you something and learn something from you.

The communication: The psychological safety here is real — people voice their concerns without fear, and we’re fast to try new things and scrap them if they don’t work. We’re deeply invested in the product and can have disagreements, but when we do, it’s always in a professional and empathetic manner. Low hierarchy in practice. No blame culture.

The transparency: We believe in total transparency across departments and leadership. You’ll get full access to all business metrics, leadership team meeting notes, and board meeting memos. We all contribute to this by having our conversations on public Slack channels, openly sharing meeting notes, and collaborating on request for comments (RFC) docs before implementing any bigger changes.

The balance: We’re a startup with the maturity of a more established company. Things just work, but your initiative matters a lot. We maintain a great work-life balance, don’t do any crunching, and keep up a sustainable pace without compromising quality.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation model plus meaningful equity.

• Paid annual vacation with 10 extra days for new employees.

• Flexible remote/office balance

• Great work-life balance — we’re a startup, but we don’t work at an unsustainable pace (many of us have kids and other responsibilities beyond work).
