Your Role and Responsibilities

A Customer Success Manager opportunity in IBM might be different to what you’re used to. In addition to the people and commercial skills often associated with this position, an IBM CSM is also an Architect. Someone with a deep understanding of technical complexities. A person who can quickly understand clients’ hard-to-understand technology issue and communicate them back in an easy-to-understand way.

With deep roots in a hands-on technological background, and through different communication techniques, you’ll be able to showcase IBM solutions. Using excellent communication, you’ll articulate their compatibilities with a client’s stack via use-case identification, solution architecture design, and MVP builds.

With technical expertise and a consultative style, you’ll quickly build credibility as a trusted advisor at all levels. To drive expansion and renewal growth, you’ll guide IT executives through the changes needed to realise the full value of expanding their adoption of IBM’s products.

We’re passionate about success. If this role is right for you, then your achievements will mean that your career is flourishing and our clients are thriving. To help ensure this win-win outcome, a ‘day-in-the life’ of this role may include, but not be limited to…

• Understanding clients’ main challenges, and becoming a trusted technical expert for their migration, deployment, and adoption of Hybrid Cloud and AI Growth offerings.
• Facilitating use case exploration and business framing workshops, and creating client value realization models.
• Leading technical conversations that persuade clients to act based on requirements and value provided by IBM’s solutions.
• Creating post-deployment customer success plans, that continually increase post-launch, active user adoption of IBM’s products.
