Senior Customer Success Manager
Aside from the higher experience requirement, it's not at all clear what makes this role more senior than the other Success role. It's not *that* worrisome, but I'd ask about it in interviews.
Roles that involve proactively helping customers onboard to a product post-sale, and helping customers use the product to the greatest effect. Success assistance is usually offered via email, phone call, and/or video conference.

So this role isn't for candidates who'd describe themselves as sloth-like ditherers fond of throwing up impediments? Phew, really dodged a bullet by making that clear.
The belly laugh I just gave at a company that constantly repeats itself and can barely put together a sentence requiring "flawless detail orientation." Pretty sure it's the only thing keeping me from slipping into a boredom-induced coma.
Well, this took a turn. Between this casual ableism, the lack of salary transparency despite competitive claims, and their ask for compensation expectations on the application, the JD practically puts itself in Tread Carefully.
Seems like a pretty straightforward onboarding role, with the usual startup suspects ("fun" team, fast-paced environment, adapt to change/challenges, let's do the time warp again). Nothing too concerning, and the pay is good for an early-career gig.
And by "ability to work under pressure" they mean okay with slowly being crushed under the weight of expectations, inexperience, and your 300-500 accounts until you're a tiny, person-shaped material denser than osmium.
Okay, so look. This could just be me. I am highly suspicious and cynical, I fully own that. But everything in this job description just comes across as slightly off. Just, like, this side of reasonable.
There are two different job titles in this job description, Manager, Customer Success and Customer Success Manager. Which one refers to this role specifically? Your guess is as good as mine.
I swear I entered the role title exactly as it's displayed on the job listing. I'm not sure what's going on with this role, but the title in the actual job description is Customer Onboarding Manager, so...I dunno, man, I'm just the rater.
Otherwise, it seems like a straightforward onboarding role, but accessibility issues and lack of salary transparency puts it squarely in Tread Carefully.
I get that these roles will have some overlap, and seniority may be the biggest differentiator, but I dunno. It strikes me as odd and makes me wonder if they are entirely sure about the team's structure.
Hoo boy. Why does this read to me as "We will give you no resources, we will change the parameters of success constantly, and we will offer little to no support toward meeting your strategic goals. Good luck!"
Nope, that's...that's the salary. That's the real salary in reality.
Can we just acknowledge that maybe it is recklessly, unforgivably irresponsible to allow 20-somethings who appear to have no professional experience before 2022 to be in charge of AI products that could destabilize democracies?
See the Senior Customer Success Manager position for what Oyster did that pissed me off so much that I automatically BINGOed out this one too.
I don't even care what the rest of the job description says. I am invoking my power as Supreme Bad Job Bingo Dictator to automatically BINGO this company out.
*MC voice* Ladies, gentlemen, and variations thereupon: here we have the latest and greatest in corporate employee management: Sparring sessions! For when verbally berating your employees just isn't enough. The beatings will continue until performance improves.
Yes, I am putting this in Green Means Go despite no salary transparency, only because the hiring location is Europe / Middle East / Africa, which is so broad that it makes giving an actual salary range genuinely difficult, and everything else is just positive signals.
I thought this was probably otherwise okay until we hit the "Personal Characteristics" section, which was just one red flag after another. Not to mention the "What's In It For You?" section contains no actual benefits, and we've got ourselves a BINGO.
Kong shows their heart in their values and in the job description. I can see the shape of what they're trying to do, so I'm willing to extend the benefit of the doubt and assume they'll grow over time. I guess we'll see what I hear and how they fare in future JDs!
Seems like a neat role, although I do wish the salary range was higher.
Assuming this isn't just for show and they really are rewarding existing employee work and loyalty, it seems like a green flag to me. Overall, this is a clear job description and I see nothing but positive culture signals, so I'm throwing this in Green Means Go!
Seems good! No major flags and the benefits are great. Salary seems a little on the low side for a Senior Customer Success Manager, but if it's just a base salary with commission, it could be great.
I don't even know what this is supposed to mean, but you should NEVER EVER take on risk on behalf of the company employing you unless you're, like, a firefighter or something. Which this is very much not.
