As a Senior Customer Success Manager (High-Touch) for the German-speaking market, you will be the trusted post-sales partner for some of n8n’s most strategic enterprise customers. With a deliberately small book of business, you go deep: you learn each customer’s business, build relationships across their organization, and turn product usage into measurable outcomes and clear ROI.

You will own retention and expansion for your accounts, running a tight operating cadence of kickoffs, success plans, health checks, QBRs and renewals, while proactively managing risk and escalations.

In close partnership with Support, Solutions Engineering, Product and Sales, you turn technical success into durable revenue.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Own a small book of n8n’s largest, most strategic enterprise customers in the German-speaking market, acting as their primary post-sales partner across onboarding, adoption and renewal

• Build an account strategy for each customer and a footprint across their organization, from IT and engineering teams to senior business and executive stakeholders

• Own retention and expansion targets, driving renewals and growth (upsell/cross-sell) in partnership with Account Executives

• Lead customer kickoffs and success planning, aligning stakeholders on goals, timelines, responsibilities and measurable outcomes

• Drive onboarding and enablement for technical and business audiences, unblocking implementation and accelerating time-to-value

• Run a strong operating cadence (health checks, exec syncs, QBRs), using usage and health data to proactively spot risks and manage escalations

• Quantify and communicate business value throughout the lifecycle, building ROI narratives tied to adoption, outcomes and impact

• Partner closely with Support, Solutions Engineering and Product to resolve blockers quickly and deliver a seamless customer experience

• Provide structured, actionable customer feedback to Product and Engineering, and share what you learn with the wider CS team
